Assembly and First Use

1. Preparation: Before first use, clean the mixing bowl, dough hook, beater, whisk, and splash guard with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the main mixer unit with a damp cloth.
2. Place the Mixer: Position the mixer on a clean, dry, and stable surface. Ensure the suction cups on the base are firmly attached to the countertop for stability.
3. Raise the Tilt-Head: Press the tilt-head release lever (usually located on the side of the mixer) and lift the motor head until it locks into place.
4. Attach the Mixing Bowl: Place the stainless steel mixing bowl onto the base, aligning the tabs on the bowl with the slots on the base. Turn the bowl clockwise until it locks securely into place.
5. Attach an Accessory: Select the desired attachment (dough hook, beater, or whisk). Insert the shaft of the attachment into the accessory port and turn it counter-clockwise until it clicks into place.
6. Lower the Tilt-Head: Press the tilt-head release lever again and gently lower the motor head until it locks into the operating position.
7. Attach the Splash Guard: Slide the splash guard onto the mixing bowl, ensuring it fits snugly around the attachment and the rim of the bowl. The pouring chute should be positioned for easy addition of ingredients.
