To clean the mixer, wipe the mixer head, stand and turntable with a damp cloth, then dry.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE STAND MIXER IN WATER.
Avoid the use of abrasive
cleaners, as they may damage 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.

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 and
other attachments in the mixing bowl.
Store the bowl(s) on the turntable. Wind the electric cord into a coil, then secure it
with a twist fastener.

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.

• When mixing liquids, especially hot liquid, use the large mixing bowl or make small
quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
• Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe.
• Use the mixing speed that is recommended in the recipe. Use the mixing guide
on the speed control dial of the mixer to help you find the correct speed to use.
• If times are specified in the recipe, use them! BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERMIX.
Overmixing can cause the mixture to become very tough.
• Should an object, such as a spatula, fall into the bowl while the mixer is operating,
turn the mixer OFF immediately, then, remove the object.
• For easier clean-up remove beaters and rinse immediately with warm water.

Please keep in mind that the various mixing tasks and related speeds, listed in the
following table, may vary slightly from recipe to recipe.
For most recipes, it is better to begin your mixing on a slower speed until the ingredients
begin combining, then move to the appropriate speed range for the particular task.
When mixing larger quantities you may need to increase the MixMaster
®
speed due
to the amount of mixing required and the larger load on the machine.
When building up a recipe that requires the addition of dry ingredients, such as flour,
slow the speed down while these ingredients are being added to avoid a snow storm
effect. Once the extra ingredients begin combining then slowly increase to the appropriate
speed for the particular mixing task.
