The following mixing guide is a suggestion for selecting mixing speeds. Begin on
setting 2 and increase to desired speed, depending on the recipe consistency.
• Place liquid ingredients in Bowl first and then add dry ingredients.
• Always stay near Mixer during use.
• To begin mixing, use the lower settings until the ingredients are
thoroughly combined. This will reduce splattering.
• Always add ingredients as close to the sides of the Bowl as
possible, not directly into the moving attachment.
• Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should
be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed only
after the mixture has thickened.
• When mixing thin batters, use medium speeds and frequently
stop the Mixer to scrape the sides of the Bowl with a spatula.
• If a spoon is accidentally caught in an attachment or the motor
stalls, turn the Speed Control Dial to OFF ( ) and then unplug.
Clear the obstruction or reduce the amount of mixture in the
Bowl. Let the motor cool for 5 minutes before continuing.
