IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

I. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Hand Mixer in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug Hand Mixer from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from all accessories during operation to reduce the risk of injury to persons and/or damage to the Hand Mixer.
6. Do not operate the Hand Mixer with a damaged cord or plug, or after the Hand Mixer malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the Hand Mixer to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by KitchenAid may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
8. Do not use the Hand Mixer outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
10. Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.
II. Remove any accessories from Hand Mixer before washing.

Electrical requirements

Volts: 120 A.C. only.
Hertz: 60 Hz

NOTE: This Hand Mixer has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. This product is designed for household use only.

Operating the Speed Control

This KitchenAid® Hand Mixer will beat faster and more thoroughly than most other electric hand mixers. Therefore, the beating time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid over beating. Beating time is faster due to larger beater sizes.

To help determine the ideal beating time, observe the batter or dough and beat only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as "smooth and creamy". To select the best beating speeds, use the "Speed control guide" section.
