IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electric appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1.
Read all instructions.
2.
To protect against risk of electrical
shock, do not put cord, plug, or any
portion of the mixer in water or other
liquid.
3.
Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near
children.
4.
Unplug from outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning.
5.
Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep
hands, hair, and clothing, as well as
spatulas and other utensils, away
from beater during operation to
reduce risk of injury to persons,
and/or damage to mixer.
6.
Remove beaters from mixer before
washing.
7.
Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter, or touch hot sur-
faces, including stove.
8.

a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a
grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug).
This type of plug will only fit into an electri-
cal outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is
a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If the plug
should fail to fit contact a qualified electri-
cian to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding pin by modifying
the plug in any way.
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 mixer. 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.
An extension cord should be connected
to the appliance first, before it is plugged
into the outlet.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do
not use another high wattage appliance
on the same circuit with the mixer.
WARNING:
To reduce risk of personal
injury, always unplug mixer before
inserting or removing beaters.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
Wash the bowl,
two-piece pouring shield, and all mixing
attachments in hot, soapy water. Rinse
and dry.
