This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

How to Assemble Stand
The stand mixer is very convenient for most recipes. However, small amounts– like one cup (237 ml) of cream–may not contact the beaters in the stand mixer mode. In these cases we recommend using as a hand mixer.
NOTE: Attach mixer to stand before attaching beaters or dough hooks.
- Set stand on counter. With platform level and while holding mixer as shown, place the two small holes on the bottom of the mixer into the two hooks on platform.
- As the mixer is lowered, gently press the back of the mixer onto the platform until it locks in position. The mixer can now be used as a stand mixer.
- Push the Tilt Button to tilt the mixer.

Mixing Tips
Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by following these tips:
- Use a large mixing bowl so that ingredients spread out for easier mixing.
- Have butter or margarine at room temperature.
- Add ingredients one at a time and thoroughly mix after each addition.
- Add flour one cup at a time.
- To add chips or nuts to a very thick dough or batter, we recommend stirring them in by hand at the very end of the recipe.
Cleaning Your Mixer
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not immerse base, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
- Always unplug mixer from electrical outlet and eject the attachments before cleaning.
- Wash attachments in hot, soapy water; rinse and dry.
