Maintenance
The motor of your stand mixer has been carefully lubricated at the factory and does not require any
additional lubricant. Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be
necessary. Return the mixer to the factory service center, listed in the warranty, for servicing or repairs.
Mixing and Baking Suggestions
Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe. When combining
dry and wet ingredients, you may wish to moisten ingredients on Speed 1 or 2, then turn to the desired
mixing speed. Use the mixing speed that is recommended in the recipe. When using a recipe that is
not in this book, use the handy mixing guide on page 5 to help you find the correct speed to use. BE
CAREFUL NOT TO OVERMIX. Overmixing can cause a mixture to become very tough. Should an
object, such as a spatula, fall into the bowl while the mixer is operating; turn the mixer OFF
immediately. Then, remove the object. Remove beaters and place in sink for easy clean-up,
To help you obtain the best possible results when using your mixer, Oster has developed the following
mixing and baking suggestions:
1. Before starting. read the recipe completely.
2 Refrigerated ingredients should be at room temperature before mixing begins. Set those ingredients out ahead
of time.
3. Preheat oven to baking temperature recommended in the recipe.
4. If directed in the recipe, grease baking pans with shortening, butter, or margarine and dust with flour, Shake
out excess flour. (When using pans with non-stick coating, follow manufacturer’s directions.)
5. Measure out ingredients using standard measuring cups and spoons.
6. If recipe calls for “sifted flour,” presift flour onto a sheet of waxed paper or into a bowl. Then, sift again with
dry ingredients, if necessary.
7 DO NOT substitute ingredrients.
8 Assemble all ingredients and utensils near the mixer.
9. To eliminate the possibility of egg shells or a bad egg in your recipe, break eggs into a separate container first,
then add to mixture.
10. Following the recipe, combine ingredients. (see Mixing instructions for beaters or Bread Making instructions
for dough hooks section )
11. Start mixing at slow speeds and increase steadily to prevent splashing.
12. When mixing egg whites, be sure the bowls and beaters are thoroughly cleaned and dried. Even a small
amount of oil on beaters or bowl could cause the egg whites not to aerate.
13. When making cakes, pound filled cake pans gently on the counter top to remove air bubbles
14. Use the correct
pan sizes as specified in the recipe.
15. Keep mixer out of the reach of children.
