U SING Y OUR H AND M IXER
Before using your mixer for the first time, wash the beaters in hot/soapy water,
or the dishwasher. Rinse and dry.
Be sure speed control is in the “OFF” or “0” position and unplugged from an
electrical outlet. Insert beaters one at a time, by placing stem end of beaters into
the opening drive holes on the bottom of the mixer. Turn beater slightly and
push in until beater clicks into position.
When using the optional dough hooks, the dough hook with the collar on the
stem fits into the larger drive hole (on the side of the mixer with the O
STER ®
name). The dough hook without the collar fits into the smaller drive hole.
M IXING
Turn mixer on and refer to speed guide for correct setting. Slowly guide mixer
around sides and through center of bowl, going in the same direction. Be careful
not to overbeat the mixture. Overbeating tends to make some mixtures tough.
Whenever scraping of the bowl is required, stop the mixer and scrape sides and
bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Turn speed control to “OFF”
or “0” and rest mixer on its heel rest while adding ingredients. Be sure to
position beaters over mixing bowl so any drippings will fall back into mixing bowl.
When mixing is complete, set speed control to “1”, and raise beaters slowly from
batter to clean off clinging food. Be sure to turn unit to “0” before raising
beaters completely out of mixing bowl.
