Attachment Assembly

How To Assemble the Scraper & Beater Attachments Together

1. Hold the scraper attachment with the scrapers facing upward in your hand.
2. Place the beater attachment inside of the scraper attachment on an angle one side at a time.
3. Press on the inside housing of the beater attachment by the tab and click the tab over the beater housing.
4. Repeat with the tab on the other side of the housing. The scraper and beater should be firmly in place.
5. To assemble the beater attachment into the bowl, firmly press the attachment onto the rod in the middle of the bowl.

Note: The beaters can be used without adding the scraper. Do not use the scraper without ingredients inside the bowl as this will damage the silicone on the scraper.

Then assemble the dough hook and hook scraper into the bowl, firmly press the dough hook and hook scraper attachment onto the rod in the middle of the bowl.

How to Assemble the Cookie Paddles

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials. Locate all parts before throwing the box away.
2. Clean the bowl, lid, spatula and attachments with hot water, dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge.
3. Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a clean cloth.

Using the Appliance

1. Place the bowl on the base of the unit. Insert the desired attachment onto the rod in the bowl. See page 4 for reference on assembly.
2. Make sure the power knob is at "0" before plugging in the unit for proper use. Then plug the unit into a power socket.
3. Insert desired ingredients into the bowl. Do not fill above the max line on the bowl. Once desired ingredients are inside place the lid on the unit. Note: The inner lid is able to be removed during the mixing process if more ingredients need to be added in.
4. Select desired speed by turning the power knob to the right, the speeds are marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6. 1 being the least powerful and 6 being the most powerful. To pulse the ingredients turn the power knob to the left to the "P" position.
5. To pause or stop when mixing turn the power knob to “0”.
6. Take the lid off the bowl and remove the attachments before removing the bowl from the base.
7. Remove ingredients. Use the spatula to help remove ingredients from the bowl. Note: When making dough the maximum amount of dry ingredients that can be mixed in the bowl is 2.2lb. (1KG) or 3.3lb. (1.5KG) of wet dough. In the event the bowl is filled past capacity and the unit stops working, turn the power knob to "0", allow the motor to cool down, reduce the amount and then continue use.

Cleaning

Always unplug the unit before cleaning. Clean the lid, bowl, spatula and attachments after each use. To clean the bowl, rod, lid, spatula and attachments hand wash with water, non-abrasive liquids and a sponge, dry with a soft cloth. To clean the base, wipe with a dry cloth.
