							When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
Please read all instructions.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put
mixer, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
Turn unit off and unplug from outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
Avoid contacting moving parts.  Keep hands, hair, cloth-
ing, as well as handheld spatulas and other utensils,
away from beaters during operation to prevent injury
and/or damage to the mixer.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner.  Return the appliance to an
authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
adjustment.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock,
or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or
touch hot surfaces.
Remove beaters and spatula attachment from mixer
before washing.
Mixing flammable non-food substances may be haz-
ardous.
Do not operate this appliance in the presence of explo-
sive and/or flammable fumes.
This appliance is intended for household use only and not
for commercial or industrial use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 
						

							Do not abuse the cord.  Never carry the mixer by the cord
or yank it to disconnect from an outlet; instead, grasp the
plug firmly and pull to disconnect.
POLARIZED PLUGThis appliance has a polarized plug—one
blade is wider than the other.  To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit
into a polarized outlet only one way.  If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse it.  If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician.  Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature by modifying
the plug in any way.

							the bowl when using a hand-
held utensil, move the Speed

(Figure B)
5.  When mixing has been
completed, move the Speed
Control to the Off position,
unplug the cord, and eject
the Beaters.
USING THE SPATULA ATTACHMENT
The Spatula Attachment can be used during some
mixing tasks to help scrape the bowl sides and blend
ingredients back into the batter.  It is designed for use
when mixing thin (puddings, pancake mix) to medium
batters (cake mixes, muffins, frostings) and for mash-
ing potatoes.  The use of the Spatula Attachment is
not recommended when beating egg whites, whip-
ping cream, or when mixing thick cookie dough.
1.  Be sure the Mixer is unplugged from the electrical
outlet and the Speed Control Switch is in the Off posi-
tion.  Insert the Beaters into the Mixer. (See page 4)
2.  Place the Mixer on a flat surface with the Beaters
facing forward.  The Spatula Attachment should be
positioned so the Spatula is to the right of the Beaters.
3.  Weave the top of the Spatula Attachment under the
left Beater shaft and over the right Beater shaft.  The
word “Front” on the Attachment should face
5
Figure B 
						

							outward from the front of
the Mixer. (Figure C) Snap
the Attachment onto the
Beater shafts.
4.  As you mix, place the
front edge of the Spatula
Attachment against the side
of the bowl and move it for-
ward slowly along the side
to scrape away dry ingredi-
ents and batter buildup. 
NOTE:Should the Spatula Attachment become
detached during use, be sure to move the Speed
Control to the Off position before attempting to reattach
the Spatula to the Beaters.
SELECTING MIXING SPEEDS
Refer to the following Mixing Guide for speed applica-
tions.  You may also refer to the Tips for suggested
speeds and mixing times.  Ingredient variations and indi-
vidual preferences may require changes in speeds and
times.  If your Mixer slows down excessively, switch to
the next higher speed or divide the quantity being mixed.

HOW TO BEAT EGG WHITES
• Beaters and bowl must be thoroughly clean.
• Be sure there is no egg yolk in the egg whites.
• For maximum volume, egg whites should be at room 
temperature.
• Beat with the Mixer set at its highest speed until egg whites
are the desired consistency.
• Beating time varies with the freshness of eggs.Figure D
Mixing Tips 
						

							NOTE: For best results when beating egg whites, use a glass,
stainless steel, or copper mixing bowl.  Do not use the Spatula
Attachment.
HOW TO WHIP CREAM
• Cream, Beaters and bowl must be thoroughly chilled.
• Start with the lowest speed (to minimize splatter); as the
cream begins to thicken, gradually increase to WHIP.
• Whipping time varies with fat content, age, and temperature
of cream.
NOTE:The Spatula Attachment is not recommended for use
when whipping cream as volume may be reduced.
