THERMAL PROTECTION

Your stand mixer motor is equipped with an automatic Thermal Protection feature which will shut your motor off if it gets too hot. Should this occur, turn the speed selector to Off, unplug the unit and allow it to cool down. It is normal for the mixing head to become hot after prolonged use.

MANUFACTURER'S TIPS

• Never scrape down sides of bowl while mixer is in operation. If scraping is necessary, first turn the mixer OFF.
• When mixing liquid ingredients, always start off at the lowest speed to avoid splattering.
• When making meringues, the mixer bowl and wire whisk must be very clean and dry.
• When making mousse don't overbeat your egg whites or your cream. If the egg whites are beaten too dry, they'll fall apart; if the cream is overbeaten, it won't blend evenly through the mousse
• When making whipped creams, first chill the bowl and the whisk.
• Do not over-knead dough. Over-kneading will prevent the dough from rising.
• If adding dry ingredients through splash guard, first measure ingredients onto a piece of parchment paper, then form a cone with the paper to add ingredients through opening.

CLEANING AND CARE

1 Make sure speed selector is turned to OFF and mixer is unplugged.
2 Raise mixer head to up locked position.
3 Remove bowl, splash guard and attachments.
4 Bowls, flat beater, dough hook, whisk, and splash guard should be washed in hot, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly before storing. Do not place any parts or accessories in the dishwasher.
5 Wipe head and base of mixer with a damp cloth.
