Tilt the mixer head by pressing in on the button on the bottom of the mixer head. Lift it up and back toiilt it out of the way of the bowl. Lifl up until the mixer head snaps into a locked position. 3. Attaching the beaters. It is most important that the beaters are fully inserted into the proper sockets or your Sunbeam Mixmaster Mixer will not operate correctly. The beater with the nylon button should be inserted by its shaft into the socket closest to the side of the Lock down button bowl. The square shaped beater without the nylon button is inserted in the socket closest to the center of the bowl. insert the beaters one at a time with a slight twisting action until they snap into place. Release the button and lower the mixer into the bowl ready for use. Note: If a beater should not properly snap into place pull it out of the socket and rotate it one quarter turn. Reinsert the beater into the socket until it snaps into position. 4. Attaching the dough hooks. The dough hook with the small washer and L-shaped foot goes into the socket on the side of the mixer nearest the side of the bowl. The other dough hook with the large washer and straight foot goes into the socket nearest the center of the bowl. See the dough hook symbols located on the front of the mixer head. Note: The dough hooks must go into the correct sockets. The mixer will not operate with the dough hooks in the wrong position as the dough hook will hit the bowl. Read the following instructions carefully. Operating Instructions 1. The SPEED CONTROL is used to start, stop, and control the speeds of your Sunbeam Mixmaster Mixer. Clearly marked instructions for correct mixing speeds for each type of mixture are shown in the mixing guide, page 5. The Speed Control should be in the OFF position before tilting the mixer head. 2. The LOCK DOWN BUTTON is located on the underside of the mixer head. When mixing batters and kneading bread dough make sure the mixer head is locked down. To tilt mixer head back, simply press in on the button. 3. The TURNTABLE. The rotating turntable fits into the socket on the base of the stand. Make sure turntable is properly in place before using mixer. The turntable is fitted with ball bearings which provide an easy turning action of the bowl while mixing. THE TURNTABLE ASSEMBLY SHOULD NOT BE IMMERSED IN WATER. 4. EJECTING BEATERS & DOUGH HOOKS. TURN THE SPEED CONTROL TO OFF. UNPLUG THE MIXER CORD. Raise the mixer head. The beaters or dough hooks may then be removed. NOTE: DO NOT KNOCK BEATERS AGAINST THE BOWL ON COMPLETION OF MIXING. Use and Care Cautions For Glass Bowls Failure to follow these instructions can cause breakage. 1. Do not use on top of stove. 2. Do not use in toaster oven. 3.

Mixing Guide About the Speed Control The Speed Control dial is used for turning the mixer ON and OFF and for selecting its 12 mixing speeds. Rotate the Speed Control dial in a clockwise direction to increase mixing speed, and in a counterclockwise direction to decrease mixing speed. As you rotate the Speed Control dial, notice that a numbered speed is aligned with the indicator on top of the mixer head. This numbered speed indicates the speed at which the mixer is operating. Rotate the Speed Control dial until the indicator is opposite the numbered speed you wish to use.

Use when preparing packaged cake mixes or when directions call for MEDIUM soeed. Use when creaming sugar and butter together. Use to whip potatoes or to develop a smooth batter. Use to whip whipping cream or to develop a light, fluffy texture. Use to beat air into desserts such as custards and souffles. Use when preparing light, fluffy frostings and candies. Use when aerating eggs and egg whites. Use when directions call for HIGH speed. Caring for your mixer Ejecting the beaters or dough hooks After you you've finished mixing, turn the speed control to OFF and UNPLUG THE ELECTRIC CORD. Raise the mixer head and press down on beater ejector button to eject the beaters or dough hooks. Scrape excess batter off the beaters using a rubber or plastic spatula. Do NOT strike beaters on the rim of the bowl. Cleaning your mixer UNPLUG ELECTRIC CORD from electrical outlet before cleaning. To clean the mixer, wipe the mixer head, stand, and turntable with a damp cloth, then dry DO NOT IMMERSE THE MIXER HEAD, TURNTABLE OR STAND IN WATER. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners, as they may mar the finish of the mixer. Wash the beaters, dough hooks, and bowl in hot, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Beaters, dough hooks, and bowl may also be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Storing your mixer Store the mixer in a dry location, such as on a counter top or table top, or in a closet or cupboard. Insert the beaters into the proper sockets. Place the dough hooks in the mixing bowl. Store the bowl on the turntable. The beaters will help hold the bowl in position. Tie the electrical cord with a plastic twist fastener. Maintenance The motor of your stand mixer has been carefully lubricated at the factory and does not require any additional lubricant. Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. Return the mixer to the factory service center, listed in the warranty, for servicing or repairs. Mixing and Baking Suggestions Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe. When combining dry and wet ingredients, you may wish to moisten ingredients on Speed 1 or 2, then turn to the desired mixing speed. Use the mixing speed that is recommended in the recipe. When using a recipe that is not in this book, use the handy mixing guide on page 5 to help you find the correct speed to use. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERMIX. Overmixing can cause a mixture to become very tough. Should an object, such as a spatula, fall into the bowl while the mixer is operating; turn the mixer OFF immediately. Then, remove the object. Remove beaters and place in sink for easy clean-up, To help you obtain the best possible results when using your mixer, Oster has developed the following mixing and baking suggestions: 1. Before starting. read the recipe completely. 2 Refrigerated ingredients should be at room temperature before mixing begins. Set those ingredients out ahead of time. 3. Preheat oven to baking temperature recommended in the recipe. 4. If directed in the recipe, grease baking pans with shortening, butter, or margarine and dust with flour, Shake out excess flour. (When using pans with non-stick coating, follow manufacturer's directions.) 5. Measure out ingredients using standard measuring cups and spoons. 6. If recipe calls for "sifted flour," presift flour onto a sheet of waxed paper or into a bowl. Then, sift again with dry ingredients, if necessary. 7 DO NOT substitute ingredrients. 8 Assemble all ingredients and utensils near the mixer. 9. To eliminate the possibility of egg shells or a bad egg in your recipe, break eggs into a separate container first, then add to mixture. 10. Following the recipe, combine ingredients. (see Mixing instructions for beaters or Bread Making instructions for dough hooks section ) 11. Start mixing at slow speeds and increase steadily to prevent splashing. 12. When mixing egg whites, be sure the bowls and beaters are thoroughly cleaned and dried. Even a small amount of oil on beaters or bowl could cause the egg whites not to aerate. 13. When making cakes, pound filled cake pans gently on the counter top to remove air bubbles 14. Use the correct pan sizes as specified in the recipe. 15. Keep mixer out of the reach of children. 16 The recipes in this book have been tested for use with this mixer. When preparing recipes that aren't in this recipe book, keep in mind that you should not exceed 3-112 cups of flour or grain in a recipe. Bread Making There are two different types of breads in this recipe book, yeast breads and quick breads. Yeast breads contain flour, yeast, liquid, sugar, salt, and fat. These ingredients acting together make the mixture rise. Yeast breads can be made into a dough in the mixer. The dough is kneaded in the mixer or by hand. These kneaded yeast breads are then covered and allowed to rise, usually several times. Kneaded yeast breads have a fine, even-grained texture that results when the gases are evenly distributed through the dough during the kneading process. Quick breads usually contain flour, a leavening agent, sugar, salt, eggs, liquid and sometimes fruit and nuts. Many quick breads are prepared in a similar manner to cake batters. Quick breads do not go through a rising time, making them much faster to prepare than yeast breads. Their texture can be very light or very heavy depending on the recipe used. Special instructions for making kneaded breads When making kneaded breads, your mixer will require more care than when making ordinary mixtures, such as cake batter and cookie dough. The elasticity of the bread dough and the shape of the dough hooks may cause your mixer to do some unusual things. The mixer head may rock up and down. Don't be alarmed. This action is normal. DO NOT attempt to hold the mixer head down, as this may interfere with the kneading action. The bowl may tend to rock back and forth. We suggest that you guide the bowl with one hand to help control the rocking action. AVOID GETTING YOUR HANDS TOO NEAR THE DOUGH HOOKS! The kneading action may cause the mixer to slide on a slippery work surface. Be sure the work surface and rubber feet on the bottom o ...
