Frequently Asked Questions - Spatula Smart M175W BLACK & DECKER

How does the Power Boost feature work?

Press the Power Boost Button at any speed setting to instantly increase mixing speed to maximum power. Release to return to the previous speed. Ideal for tough tasks like cookie dough.

How do I insert and remove the beaters or whisks?

Ensure the mixer is unplugged and the speed control is OFF. Insert the beater/whisk stem into the opening and rotate slightly until it locks. To remove, push the Beater Eject Lever upward with your index finger and pull the attachment out.

How do I use the Spatula Attachment?

Attach after inserting beaters: weave the spatula under the left beater shaft and over the right, with the word 'Front' facing out. Snap onto the beaters. Use for thin to medium batters; do not use with whisks or for whipping cream/egg whites.

Can I wash the attachments in the dishwasher?

Yes, the beaters, whisks (model M175W only), and spatula attachment are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack. Dry thoroughly before storing.

What are the speed settings and when should I use them?

The mixer has 5 speeds: 1 (Blend) for combining liquids, 2 (Stir) for sauces/puddings, 3 (Mix) for batters, 4 (Beat) for creaming/cookie dough, 5 (Whip) for fluffy mixtures. Use Power Boost at any speed for maximum power.

Why does the Spatula Attachment keep coming off?

If the attachment detaches during use, turn off the mixer before reattaching. Ensure it is snapped securely onto both beater shafts. Also, avoid using it with thick cookie dough or when whipping, as it may not stay on.

How do I clean the mixer body?

Unplug the mixer. Wipe the body and cord with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty and how do I get service?

The mixer has a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase. For service, call 1-800-231-9786 or visit a Black & Decker authorized service center. The manual lists many locations nationwide.

Can I use the Spatula Attachment with the whisks?

No, the spatula attachment is not compatible with the whisks. Use it only with the standard beaters for thin to medium mixtures.

How do I store the mixer and attachments?

Coil the cord loosely and secure with a twist tie; do not wrap the cord around the mixer. Store beaters, whisks, and spatula attachment in a drawer or original packaging to prevent damage.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG This appliance

has a polarized plug— one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

Convenience Features

Figure A

POWER BOOST

The Power Boost feature works great on tough mixing tasks and has easy-access thumb control. (Figure A)

The Power Boost feature lets you increase the mixing speed to the maximum power level from any speed setting by depressing the Power Boost Button. When you feel the Mixer slowing down or straining in tough mixing tasks

Figure B

(such as mixing cookie dough), just press the Power Boost Button to get the maximum mixing performance. As soon as the Power Boost Button is released, the Mixer will return to the speed setting you were previously using.

BEATER EJECT LEVER

The Spatula Smart® Mixer features a convenient Beater Eject Lever which is located below the handle. It allows for easy release of the Beaters/Whisks using the index finger. (Figure B)

LARGE BEATERS

The large Beaters help you get fast, thorough mixing results. The Beaters are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

BONUS WHISKS (MODEL M175W ONLY)

The Whisks are perfect for whipping cream or eggs. They are especially useful when making meringue, omelets, fluffy angel food cake, or mousse. Like the Beaters, the Whisks are dishwasher-safe.

SPATULA ATTACHMENT

The Spatula Attachment is used with the Beaters and allows you to scrape dry ingredients and batter from the bowl sides continuously while mixing. It snaps off for easy dishwasher or soap and water cleaning.

How To Use

1. Before using the Beaters, be sure the Mixer is unplugged and the Speed Control Switch is in the OFF position. To insert a Beater, grasp the Mixer with one hand and the Beater stem with the other. Insert the Beater into the opening; you may have to rotate it slightly until it locks into place. Use the same method when inserting the Whisks (Model M175W only). Repeat for the other Beater/Whisk.

2. Plug the Cord into an outlet.

3. Place the ingredients into a bowl, grip the Mixer handle, and position the Beaters/Whisks in the center of the food to be mixed.
4. Select the appropriate speed setting for the task. See the "Mixing Guide" on page 9.
5. Guide the Beaters/Whisks continuously through the mixture for uniform mixing. Whenever you wish to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl using a handheld utensil, be sure to turn the Speed

Figure C

USING THE SPATULA ATTACHMENT

Control Switch OFF. Place the Mixer on the Heel Rest so that batter can drain into the bowl. (Figure C)

1. To remove the Beaters/Whisk, push the Beater Eject Lever up with your index finger of one hand, then pull the Beater/Whisk out of the Mixer with the other hand.

Use the Spatula Attachment during mixing to scrape dry ingredients or batter from the bowl as you mix. It is designed for use when mixing thin (pudding, pancake batter) to medium batters (cake mixes, muffins, frosting) and for whipping mashed potatoes. It is not recommended when beating egg whites, whipping cream, or when mixing thick cookie dough. Do NOT use the Spatula Attachment with the Whisks (Model M175W only).

1. Insert the Beaters into the Mixer. Be sure the Mixer is unplugged and the speed control Switch is in the OFF position.

Figure D

1. Hold the Mixer by the handle with the Beaters facing forward. The Spatula attachment should be positioned so that the Spatula is to the right of the Beaters.

2. Weave the top of the Spatula Attachment under the left Beater shaft and over the right Beater shaft. The word "Front" on the Attachment should face out from the front of the Mixer. Snap the Attachment onto the Beater shafts. (Figure D)

3. As you mix, place the front edge of the Spatula Attachment against the side of the bowl and move it forward slowly along the side of bowl to scrape away buildup and blend ingredients or batter back into the Beaters. (Figure E)

Figure E

NOTE: If the Spatula Attachment detaches during use, be sure to turn OFF the Mixer before attempting to reattach the Spatula to the Beaters.

Household Appliance Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center. For the Service Center nearest you, call the toll-free “800” number on the cover of this book.

CLEANING

1. Be sure the Speed Control Switch is in the OFF position before cleaning any part of the Mixer. Unplug the cord and eject the Beaters/Whisks. Remove the Spatula Attachment, if used.
2. The Beaters, Whisks (Model M175W only), and Spatula Attachment may be washed in hot, sudsy water or in a dishwasher. Be sure to dry all parts thoroughly before storing.
3. Clean the Mixer or cord with a damp cloth. To remove stubborn spots, wipe surfaces with a cloth dampened in sudsy water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Follow with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the Mixer as they can damage the finish.

STORING THE MIXER

1. For longer life, avoid jerking the Power Cord or straining it at the plug connection. To store, coil the Cord in loops and secure it with a twist tie. Do not wrap the cord around the Mixer.
2. Store the Beaters, Whisks (Model M175W only), and Spatula Attachment in a drawer or in the original packaging.

Mixing Tips

HOW TO BEAT EGG WHITES

• Beaters/Whisks and bowl must be clean.
• Be sure there is no egg yolk in the egg whites.

• For maximum volume, egg whites should be at room temperature.

• Beat at the highest speed (Whip #5) until egg whites are the desired consistency.

• Beating time varies with the freshness of eggs.

NOTE: For best results when beating egg whites, do not use an aluminum or plastic bowl. Use a stainless steel, copper, or glass bowl.

HOW TO WHIP CREAM

• Chill the cream, Beaters, and bowl.
• Start with the lowest setting (to minimize splatter) as the cream begins to thicken, gradually increase to WHIP (Setting #5).
• Whipping time varies with fat content, age, and temperature of cream.

NOTE: The Spatula Attachment is NOT recommended for use when whipping cream as volume may be reduced.

Service, if necessary, must be performed by a Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., Household Appliance Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center. The Service Center nearest you can be found in the yellow pages of your phone book under “Appliances-Small-Repairing.” For your convenience a listing of our Company-Owned Service Centers can be found on pages 12-15.
