SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

iii

This Unit Is for Household Use Only

When your MIXMASTER® Mixer is first used, you
may experience an odor and possibly a slight wisp of
smoke from your mixer’s motor. This is caused by the
heat curing of the insulation which protects the motor
and is normal. After the first few uses, this effect will
disappear.

FOR PRODUCTS PURCHASED IN THE U.S. AND
CANADA ONLY

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way; if the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Before assembling the mixer, be sure the speed
control dial is in the OFF position and the electric
cord is unplugged.

Attaching the Turntable

Place the revolving turntable into the base of the
stand by pressing the turntable into the center hole
of the adjustment slot until it snaps into place.

Adjusting the Turntable

The turntable must be adjusted depending upon
which bowl size is being used (see “Adding the
Mixing Bowl”). To adjust, press down on the
turntable locator switch and slide switch to the
proper icon.

Attaching and Removing Mixer Head

To attach the mixing head, press in on the mixer­release trigger, located at the rear of the stand.

Place the mixer head on the stand so that the metal
pivot on the bottom of the mixer head goes into the
latched opening on the top of the stand.

As you release pressure from the mixer-release
trigger, the top of the latch should clamp around the
metal pivot. Once the mixing head is lowered into
position, it will lock into place.

To raise the mixing head, press the head lock button
downward while pulling up on the handle of the
mixing head. Once unlocked, the mixing head can be
removed by pressing the mixer release trigger. Be sure
the mixer head is securely in position before using.

NOTE: This mixer is NOT intended for use away
from the stand.

Adding the Mixing Bowl

Move the turntable locator switch to the proper
setting – the large bowl icon if you are using the
large bowl; the small bowl icon if you are using a
small bowl. Place the desired mixing bowl onto the
turntable.

Mixing bowls should NEVER be used in a
conventional oven, microwave oven, on top of the
range or on any other heated surface. If mixing
bowls are scratched or chipped, do not use mixer.
Mixer bowl should not be used to blend in hot
liquids.

Attaching the Beaters

Be sure the speed control dial is in the OFF position
and unplug electric cord from the electrical outlet.
Lift mixer head up and back to pull it out of the
way of the bowl.

NOTE: It is important that the beaters go into the
correct sockets. Otherwise the mixer will not give
you the proper mixing action. Do not risk ruining a
recipe or damaging your mixer. Read the following
instructions carefully.

One of the beaters is shaped like a cone and has a
nylon button on the bottom. It goes into the socket
on the side of the mixer nearest the side of the
bowl. The other beater is square-shaped and goes
into the socket nearest the center of the bowl. See
beater symbols located on the bottom of the mixer
head.

Insert the beaters, one at a time, using a
combination pressing and twisting motion, until the
beaters snap into position.

If a beater should not properly snap into place, pull
it out of the socket and rotate it one quarter turn.
Reinsert the beater into the socket until it snaps
into position.

ATTACHING THE DOUGH HOOKS

Set the speed dial in the OFF position and unplug
the electric cord from the electrical outlet. Lift mixer
head up and back to tilt it out of the way of the
bowl, while holding it in an upright position.

NOTE: The dough hooks must go into the correct
sockets. The mixer will operate with the dough
hooks in the wrong position. However, you will not
get proper kneading action and you could risk
ruining a recipe or damaging your mixer. Read the
following instructions carefully.

The dough hook with the small washer and foot
goes into the socket on the side of the mixer nearest
the side of the bowl. The other dough hook with the
large washer goes into the socket nearest the center
of the bowl. See the dough hook symbols located on
the bottom of the mixer head.

ABOUT THE SPEED CONTROL DIAL

The speed control dial is used for turning the mixer
ON and OFF and for selecting its 12 mixing speeds.

Rotate the speed control dial in a clockwise
direction to increase mixing speed; and in a counter­clockwise direction to decrease mixing speed.

As you rotate the speed control dial, notice that a
numbered speed is aligned with the indicator on top
of the mixer head. This numbered speed indicates
the speed at which the mixer is operating.

Rotate the speed control dial until the indicator is
opposite the numbered speed you wish to use.

BURST OF POWER®FEATURE

Press down on button or top handle to
automatically increase the beater speed by 150
RPM for an immediate boost of power.

HEAD LOCK

The head lock feature locks the mixing head in the
down position for added control while mixing and
locks it in the up position for added convenience
while cleaning.

To unlock, press down the button on the side of the
stand.

To lock, lower mixing head until it automatically
locks in place.

After you’ve finished mixing, turn the speed control
dial to OFF and unplug the electric cord from the
electrical outlet. Push the ejector button located near
the handle to remove beaters or dough hooks.

Scrape excess batter off the beaters using a rubber or

CLEANING YOUR MIXER

To clean the mixer, wipe the mixer head, stand and
turntable with a damp cloth, then dry. DO NOT

IMMERSE THE MIXER HEAD OR STAND IN
WATER. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners, as they

may mar the finish of the mixer.
Wash the beaters and bowls in hot, soapy water after

each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Beaters and
bowls may also be washed in an automatic
dishwasher.

STORING YOUR MIXER

Store the mixer in a dry location, such as on a
countertop or table top, or in a closet or cupboard.
Insert the beaters into the proper sockets. Place the
dough hooks in the mixing bowl.

Store the bowl(s) on the turntable. The beaters will
help hold the bowl in position. Wind the electric cord
into a coil, secure it with a twist fastener.

MAINTENANCE

The motor of your stand mixer has been carefully
lubricated at the factory and does not require any
additional lubricant. Other than the recommended
cleaning, no further user maintenance should be
necessary.

Return the mixer to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam
Service Center for servicing or repairs.
