Operating the speed control
NOTE: The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended mixing
time, the top of the unit may become hot. This is normal.
1
Plug the Stand Mixer in a proper
electrical outlet. Always set speed
control lever on lowest speed to start,
then gradually increase speed to avoid
splashing ingredients. See chart below.
2
Do not scrape bowl while Stand Mixer
is operating. The bowl and beater are
designed to provide thorough mixing
without frequent scraping. Scraping the
bowl once or twice during mixing is
usually sufficient.
