How to Use
This product is for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
Remove all packing material and any stickers.
Remove and save literature.
Wash professional-style wire beaters, spatula, dough hooks and whisk as
instructed in CARE AND CLEANING section of this manual.
1. Be sure mixer is off and unplugged before inserting or removing attachments.
To insert wire beaters and dough hooks: Match beater
or hook with the collar near its stem end to the
illustration located near the opening (A). Push in beater
or hook, rotating slightly if necessary, until it locks into
place. Insert other beater into the second hole, also
rotating it if necessary, until it locks into place.
To insert whisk: The whisk attachment can be inserted
into either opening of the mixer. Gently push the whisk,
rotating it slightly if necessary, until it locks into place.
2. Plug cord into an outlet.
3. Place ingredients to be mixed in a bowl. Holding the mixer by the handle, insert
beaters, hooks or whisk into center of food in bowl.
4. Use the mixing guide below to select the correct speed (B)
for the food you are mixing. Generally, it is best to start
on the lowest speed (1), then increase speed with beaters
immersed in the food.
5. Guide beaters/whisks continuously through the mixture
for uniform mixing. If you’d like to scrape the sides or
bottom of bowl using a handheld utensil, be sure to turn
speed control switch off. Place mixer on heel rest so that
batter will drip back into bowl.
6. To remove beaters, hooks or whisk, push beater eject button (B).
Caution: Be careful when ejecting the beaters, hooks or whisk since they come
out of the mixer quickly. You may want to eject them into bowl or into a sink.
Using Spatula
The spatula attachment is designed to scrape dry ingredients or batter from the
bowl as you mix. Use it when mixing thin (pudding, pancake batter) to medium
batters (cake mixes, muffins, frosting) and for whipping mashed potatoes. It is
not recommended when beating egg whites, whipping cream, or when mixing
thick cookie dough. The spatula attachment should not be used with the whisk
attachment.
1. Be sure mixer is unplugged and the speed control switch is in the off position.
Insert wire beaters into mixer.
2. Hold mixer by handle with beaters facing forward. The spatula attachment
should be positioned so spatula is to the right of the beaters.
3. Weave the top of spatula attachment under left beater
shaft and over right beater shaft. The word FRONT on
attachment should face out from front of mixer. Snap the
attachment onto beater shafts (C).
4. As you mix, place front edge of spatula attachment
against side of bowl and move it forward slowly along side
of bowl to scrape away buildup and blend ingredients back
into beaters.
Note: If the spatula attachment detaches during use, be sure to turn off mixer
before attempting to reattach spatula to beaters.

Mixing Guide
Use the following guide for speed selections. Note: Start mixing at the lowest speed and
gradually increase as needed. For best results, use whisk attachments to whip light, fluffy
mixtures, heavy cream, or eggs, at speed #5.

chips, nuts, raisins to cookie dough or cake mix.
2 (Low/Med) Combine To mix thin batters, such as waffles, muffins, and
quick breads; to prepare puddings.

Mixing Tips
1. For best results when beating egg whites, do not use an aluminum or plastic
bowl. Use a stainless steel, copper, or glass bowl. Beat at the highest speed.
2. For best results when whipping cream, chill the cream, beaters, and bowl. Start
with the lowest setting and gradually increase to whip (# 6) as the cream begins
to thicken.
Note: For best volume when whipping cream, do not use the spatula attachment.
Care and Cleaning
