Safety Instructions

⚠️ WARNING

Please read these instructions carefully and keep for future reference.

Intended Use

Only operate the VonShef Hand Mixer and Stand for its intended purpose and within the parameters specified in this manual. This Hand Mixer is for domestic use only. Do not use outdoors, on wet surfaces, or for commercial purposes. This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or given appropriate instruction concerning the product's use by a person responsible for their safety. This appliance is not intended for use by children.

General Precautions

When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the Hand Mixer.
• If the Hand Mixer is not functioning properly, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or immersed in liquid, do not use, contact DOMU Brands Customer Services.
• Do not use the Hand Mixer if any parts appear to be faulty, missing or damaged.
• Ensure all parts are securely attached before use.

Cables and Plugs

Check to ensure your electricity supply matches that shown on the rating plate. This product should only be used as rated. Preferably, the socket outlet should be protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD). Do not use with a damaged cable or plug. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified engineer or authorised service agent in order to avoid a hazard. The use of an extension cable is not recommended. Do not handle the plug or appliance with wet hands. Do not let the cable hang over the edge of the table or countertop where it could be pulled on inadvertently by children or pets. Keep the cable away from heated surfaces. Do not pull the cable around sharp edges or corners. Do not leave unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use. Turn off all controls before unplugging. Do not unplug by pulling on the cable. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cable.

Risk of Personal Injury

Always unplug before performing user maintenance, connecting or disconnecting attachments, or changing accessories. Ensure the cable is stored safely to prevent hazards. Always locate your appliance away from the edge of the worktop, on a firm, flat, heat-resistant surface with sufficient space around all sides. The Hand Mixer is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system. Do not insert any objects into openings or cover the appliance. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from openings and moving parts. Never mix accessories that are intended for different functions (e.g. Dough Hook and Beater). Do not touch the Dough Hooks, Balloon Whisk or Beaters whilst the appliance is in operation. Do not leave the Hand Mixer unattended when in use. Do not operate continuously for periods longer than those marked on the product or indicated in the instructions. Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged before changing accessories or cleaning. Do not lubricate any parts or carry out any maintenance or repair work other than that shown in this manual, or as advised by the DOMU Brands Customer Care Helpline. Use only as described in this manual and do not overfill. Use only DOMU Brands recommended attachments.

• Carefully plunge the DOUGH HOOKS, BALLOON WHISK, and BEATERS into the container and slowly slide the CONTROL SWITCH from speed 1 up to the maximum speed of 5 as desired.
• CAUTION: To avoid unnecessary strain on the motor, do not use the Hand Mixer for any mixtures which prevent the mixing attachments from revolving freely.

• Slowly rotate the appliance around the container to evenly mix your ingredients.
• If necessary, increase the speed gradually until the desired consistency is achieved.

• CAUTION: Do not use the TURBO BUTTON for more than 2 minutes at a time as this may cause the motor to overheat.

• Once you have finished mixing your ingredients, reset the CONTROL SWITCH to the '0' position and unplug.
• Eject the BEATERS, DOUGH HOOKS, or BALLOON WHISK by pressing the EJECT BUTTON.
• CAUTION: Do not press the EJECT BUTTON whilst attachments are rotating.
