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 “O” position and unplugged from an electrical
outlet. Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end of beaters into the opening on
the bottom of the mixer. Turn beater slightly and push in until beater clicks into position.
Plug into appropriate outlet. Turn mixer on and adjust speed setting using the control on
top of the unit.

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 “O” and rest
mixer on its heel rest while adding ingredients. Be sure to position beaters over
mixing bowl so any drippings will fall back into mixing bowl.
When mixing is complete, set speed control to “1,” raise beaters slowly from batter
to clean off clinging food. Be sure to turn unit to “O” before raising beaters completely
out of mixing bowl.
