Hand Mixer on a Stand:
Attach the hand mixer to the stand by tilting the cradle back and inserting the mounting tabs on the
stand into the holes on the bottom of the mixer and sliding back to snap. To remove the mixer from the
stand, tilt the cradle back and keep hand under the cradle for support, snap the mixer forward and lift
off the stand without turning or twisting.
NOTE: The mixing bowl provided with this mixer is not heat resistant glass and
should not be placed in the oven. Always transfer the ingredients to a baking
dish or pan designed for oven use. Do not use mixing bowls to blend in large
volumes of hot liquids or to mash potatoes while still hot.
Dough Hooks:
The dough hooks must go into the correct sockets. Although the mixer will operate, the dough could
“travel” up the hooks. This will not provide the correct kneading action and could risk ruining a recipe
or damaging your mixer.
Insert one at a time, by placing the dough hook with the curved foot into the left socket at the bottom of
the mixer. Insert the straight end hook into the right socket. When using the dough hooks, USE THE
HAND MIXER OFF THE STAND. ONLY USE SPEEDS 1 OR 2.
