- Placement: Place the ingredients in a suitable mixing bowl.
Operating Instructions
- Plug In: Plug the hand mixer into a suitable power outlet.
- Select Speed: Turn the speed control knob to the desired speed setting (1-5). Start with a lower speed to prevent splashing, then gradually increase as needed.

- Speed 5: For whipping cream, egg whites, and heavy batters.
- Mixing: Lower the beaters into the ingredients before switching on the appliance. Move the mixer slowly through the mixture to ensure even blending.
- Turbo Function: For an extra burst of power, press and hold the "Turbo" button. Release the button to return to the selected speed. Use this for tough mixing tasks or to quickly finish a mixture.
- Finish Mixing: Once mixing is complete, turn the speed control knob to "0" (off) and lift the beaters from the mixture.
