LEARNING YOUR HAND/STAND MIXER

You can use the mixer to mix and knead. The mixer can be easily removed from the stand in a moment and used as a standard hand mixer.

PREPARING FOR USE

Placing and securing the mixer to the stand (figure 2).

Before placing and securing the mixer to the stand, switch unit off “O” and unplug from the electrical outlet. Press the tilt button and tilt the cradle back. Place the grooves located in the bottom of the hand mixer (see figure 2) onto the tips of the holding base of the stand. Then push the back of the hand mixer down until it locks into place with a click sound. To remove it, push the lower end of the Lock & Release Latch and lift the hand mixer up then forward.

INSERTING/ EJECTING BEATERS & DOUGH HOOKS

Before releasing the Beaters or Dough Hooks, switch off the mixer and remove the plug from the electrical outlet. Push the Beaters or Dough Hooks into the slots located under of the mixer, until they click into place. The two Dough Hooks have different plug shapes and must be pushed into the correct slots. Inserting the wrong way would lead the dough to “move” upwards. One of the Dough Hooks has an additional small ring near the collar on the shaft. This Dough Hook will only fit in the slot for which it is intended. To remove the accessories, hold firmly with one hand, while pressing the Beater Ejector Button (figure 3).

RAISING/ LOWERING THE MIXEREnsure the mixer is switched off before raising/ lowering. Press the Raise/ Low Button (figure 4) and lift the mixer up or lower it until it clicks in place. This will facilitate removal of Beaters as well the Bowl.

PLACING/ REMOVING THE MIXING BOWLPlace the Mixing Bowl on the rotating plate of the Stand (figure 5) and latch in place by gently turning it clockwise. To remove it, turn it counterclockwise to unlatch. It may be necessary to hold the base to prevent it from rotating. The off center position of the mixer makes it easy to add ingredients while the mixer is in operation.

USING YOUR HAND/STAND MIXER

Before using your hand/stand mixer for the first time, wash the Beaters, Dough Hooks and Bowl in hot/ soapy water, or the dishwasher. Rinse and dry. Be sure the speed controls are in the “0” position and the unit is unplugged from an electrical outlet. Plug cord into an electrical outlet. Insert Beaters as indicated above.

MIXING WITH THE STAND MIXERThe On/ Off Speed is used to switch the mixer on and control the mixer speed. For every speed selected, the Burst of Power Feature Button can be pressed and held when the appliance is in operation to achieve the maximum power within the selected speed. You can add ingredients to the bowl while mixing or switch it off, raise the mixer and then add the ingredients. Once you are done adding the ingredients, lower the mixer and start the mixing process again until you reach the desired consistency

NOTE: The mixer must not be run continuously for more than 5 minutes at a time. After this time, allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes before re-using.

MIXING WITH THE HAND MIXERRemove mixer from the stand, please refer to the instructions on the section “PLACING/ REMOVING THE MIXING BOWL”. Turn mixer on and refer to speed guide for the 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 the off position “O” 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 unit to “0” before raising beaters completely out of mixing bowl.

BURST OF POWER FEATUREThe BURST OF POWER feature allows for an added boost to the selected speed setting at the press of the button. During especially heavy mixing tasks, press the button to drive through the mixture with ease. Once the button is released, the mixer will return to the original speed setting.
