oPeraTing insTrUcTions
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 snowstorm effect. Once the extra ingredients begin
combining, slowly increase to the appropriate speed for the particular
mixing task.
Using yoUr hand Mixer
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” and rest mixer on its heel rest while adding
ingredients. Make sure to position beaters over mixing bowl so any
drippings will fall back into the mixing bowl.
