- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
- Avoid contact with moving parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

Before First Use
Before using your hand mixer for the first time, wash the beaters, dough hooks, and wire whisks thoroughly in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry completely. Wipe the mixer body with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the mixer body in water or other liquids.
Setup
Attaching Beaters
- Ensure the mixer is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
- Insert the beater stems into the beater slots on the underside of the mixer. Push firmly until they click into place.
- For traditional beaters, either beater can be inserted into either slot. For dough hooks, insert the hook with the collar into the larger slot and the hook without the collar into the smaller slot. For wire whisks, insert the whisk with the gear into the larger slot and the whisk without the gear into the smaller slot.
- To remove beaters, dough hooks, or wire whisks, ensure the mixer is unplugged and the speed control is set to 'OFF' (0). Press the beater eject button firmly.
Operating Your Hand Mixer
Using the Mixer
- Ensure beaters are securely inserted and the speed control dial is set to 'OFF' (0).
- Plug the mixer into a standard electrical outlet.
- Place the beaters into the mixture you intend to mix.
- Turn the speed control dial to the desired speed setting. Start at a lower speed to prevent splashing, then gradually increase as needed.
- Move the mixer slowly through the mixture to ensure even blending.
- When finished mixing, turn the speed control dial back to 'OFF' (0) and unplug the mixer from the outlet.
- Press the beater eject button to release the beaters.
