Installation
UNCRATING
Immediately after uncrating the mixer, check for possible shipping damage. If the machine is found to be damaged after uncrating, save all packaging materials and contact the carrier within 3 days of delivery. Failure to contact the carrier or supplier in a timely fashion may cause you a loss.
LOCATION
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the machine’s rating plate. Place the mixer on a sturdy and level surface. There should be adequate space around the mixer for the user to operate the controls and to install and remove the bowls. Holes are located in the base to permanently secure the mixer, although this is not necessary in normal installations.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The electrical cords on these machines are equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug, which must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, contact an electrician. DO NOT remove the grounding prong from the plug. Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable regulations and local electrical codes.

2.Apply power to the mixer by inserting the cord plug into a properly grounded outlet.
3.Turn the Speed Lever to position 1.
