Using your Hand Mixer

• Before using your mixer for the first time, wash
the beaters in hot, soapy water, or the
dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• Be sure speed control is in the “OFF” or “O”
position and unplugged from an electrical outlet.
Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end
of beaters into the opening on the bottom of the
mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater
clicks into position. Plug into the appropriate
outlet. Turn mixer on and adjust speed setting
using the control on the top of the unit.

Mixing

• Slowly guide mixer around the sides and through
the center of the bowl, going in the same
direction. Be careful not to over beat the mixture.
Over beating tends to make some mixtures tough.

• Whenever scraping of the bowl is required, stop
the mixer and scrape sides and bottom of bowl
with a rubber spatula as needed. Turn speed
control to “OFF” or “O” and rest mixer on its
heel rest while adding ingredients. Be sure to
position beaters over mixing bowl so any
drippings will fall back into the mixing bowl.

• When mixing is complete, set speed control to
“1,” raise beaters slowly from batter to clean off
clinging food. Be sure to turn unit to “O” before
raising beaters completely out of mixing bowl.
