Cleaning and Removing Super-Sized
Beaters:

Mixer, set the power switch to OFF
and unplug it from the wall outlet.
Pull up on the beater release trigger
and remove the beaters from the
mixer. Wash the beaters after each
use in hot, soapy water or in a dish-

Wipe it with a damp cloth or sponge.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, which
could scratch the surface.
