When the speed control is in the OFF position you can push down on the thumb tab to release the beaters or other attachments. There may not be a noticeable click.NOTE: Do not eject attachments when the hand mixer is operating.

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.Be sure speed control is in the “OFF” or “0” position and unplugged from an electrical outlet. Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end of beaters into the opening drive holes on the bottom of the mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater clicks into position. Beaters are interchangeable.
MIXINGTurn mixer on and refer to speed guide for correct setting. Slowly guide mixer around sides and through center of bowl, going in the same direction. Be careful not to overbeat the mixture. Overbeating 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 “0” and rest mixer on its heel rest while adding ingredients. Be sure to position beaters over mixing bowl so any dripping will fall back into mixing bowl.When mixing is complete, set the control to “1”, and raise beaters slowly from batter to clean off clinging food. Be sure to set the unit to “0” before raising beaters completely out of mixing bowl.
NOTE: The hand mixer should not be operated for more than 5 minutes. After this time, let it cool for at least 5 minutes before using again.
EJECTING BEATERSBe sure the control is in the “OFF” or “0” position and cord is removed from electrical outlet. Scrape off any excess batter with a rubber spatula. Grasp the stems of the beaters with your hand and press the beater eject button. Beaters will release into your hand.
