• Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use instructions in this manual.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by West Bend® Housewares may cause injuries.
• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
• For household use only.

CAUTION

To prevent burns or other personal injuries to children, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AROUND CHILDREN

• Always supervise children.
• Do not allow children to operate or be near the mixer, as contact with moving parts may cause injury.
• Do not allow cord to hang over any edge where a child can reach it. Arrange cord to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement.

CAUTION

To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Always switch appliance to OFF and unplug the appliance from outlet and allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, spatulas and other utensils away from beaters during operation to reduce the risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to the mixer.
• Remove beaters from mixer before washing.
• Do not leave appliance unattended while it is operating.
• Your appliance has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other areas or touch hot surfaces.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the appliance (wattage is stamped on the underside of the mixer head). To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other areas or touch hot surfaces.
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the appliance. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.
• Keep the cord away from moving parts of the appliance during operation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Your mixer requires some assembly before using. Do not plug cord into electrical outlet until after mixer is assembled and ready for operation.

1. To attach mixer to stand, press and hold down mixer release lever located on the back of the mixer stand. Position mixer head on stand so metal pin on underside of mixer fits into groove on mixer stand. Make sure mixer is securely attached to stand before using. NOTE: Mixer should not be used as a hand mixer. It must always be used on the stand.
2. Place turntable onto platform of stand, aligning extension on underside into correct opening for the size bowl being used, Small or Large. Lip on underside of bowl will fit into groove on turntable.
3. To insert beaters or dough hooks, press the lock release button located on side of mixer stand, lift mixer head up until it stops. The beater or dough hook with the round collar fits into the round socket of the mixer head. The beater with the hexagon collar fits into the hexagon socket of the mixer head. Insert beaters by pushing shaft into socket, turning slightly if needed until they lock in place. Beaters must be inserted into correct socket, as they are not interchangeable.

1. Make sure speed control dial is set at the OFF position and mixer is securely attached to the stand before using. NOTE: Mixer should not be used as a hand mixer. Use only on stand.
2. Position turntable according to size bowl being used. Position bowl onto turntable.
3. Insert beaters or dough hooks into correct sockets.
4. Add ingredients to bowl as recipe directs. Plug cord into a 120 volt, AC electrical outlet only. Turn speed control dial to start mixing. Always begin mixing at a lower speed setting to prevent spattering, then increase to desired speed for mixing task. Speed setting can be adjusted during operation by turning dial forward and back. Use mixing guide as reference by aligning speed setting with indicator line. A red light will illuminate next to the setting that was selected. If you need to scrape the bowl during use, always turn mixer off, scrape then continue mixing.

5. When mixing is complete, turn speed control dial to OFF position and unplug cord from electrical outlet. Press the lock release button and lift mixer head up until it stops. Press the beater/hook release button located on side of mixer head and remove the beaters/hooks. NOTE: Do not try to pull the beaters/hooks out of the mixer head without pressing the beater release button as damage to the mixer head could occur.

6. A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
