Special Instructions for Products Purchased in the U.S. and Canada

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong plug. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the 3-prong plug by modifying it in any way. Also, do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord; instead, grasp the plug and pull to remove from the outlet.

If the use of an extension cord is necessary, please follow these guidelines:

  • Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the mixer.
  • Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the mixer.
  • Examine the extension cord before using and do not use if the extension cord is damaged.
  • Do not abuse the extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect.
  • Keep extension cord away from heat and sharp edges.

Note on Mixer Operation: The motor is protected by heat-cured insulation. An odor or slight wisp of smoke may occur during initial uses, which is normal and will disappear.

Welcome & Features

Congratulations on owning the SUNBEAM® MixMaster® Heritage Series™ Stand Mixer. This manual provides important safety instructions and operating guidance.

Learning About Your Stand Mixer

Familiarize yourself with the components of your stand mixer:

Diagram: Mixer Components

Illustrates the stand mixer with labels pointing to:

  • Attachment Eject Button: Located on the top of the handle, this button releases the beaters, dough hooks, or wire whisks for easy changing and cleaning.
  • Dual-Motor 3-Way Beating Action: A patented design where one motor drives the beaters in opposite directions, and a second motor drives the bowl. This ensures powerful and efficient mixing.
  • Variable Bowl Speed: The bowl's rotation speed automatically adjusts with the beater speed.
  • Off-Center Head and Beaters: The mixer head and beaters are positioned off-center to the bowl, allowing for easier addition of ingredients during operation.
  • Bowl Selector: A lever that slides left to select the small bowl and right to select the large bowl.

Mixer Components and Attachments

Diagram: Mixer Parts and Attachments

Shows the main parts of the mixer and its various attachments:

  • Die-Cast Metal Body: A robust metal body with non-slip rubber feet for stable operation.
  • Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls: Available in 4.6-quart and 2.2-quart sizes, suitable for mixing various quantities of ingredients.
  • Tilt Back Locking Head: The mixer head tilts back and locks securely, allowing for easy removal of bowls and attachments.
  • 12 Variable Speeds: Features a powerful torque control motor for superior mixing control and consistent speed regardless of the mixing load.
  • Stainless Steel Dough Hooks: Heavy-duty hooks designed to handle kneading dough and other heavy mixtures.
  • Stainless Steel "V-Groove" Beaters: Robust beaters ideal for creaming butter and sugar, and mixing heavy cake mixes.
  • Stainless Steel Wire Whisks: Used for whipping cream, egg whites, light batters, and cake mixes.

Adjusting the Turntable

The turntable must be adjusted based on the bowl size being used. To adjust, slide the turntable bowl selector lever to the icon corresponding to the small or large bowl.

Illustrates the turntable selector switch and its movement to align with bowl size icons.

The Role of the Dual-Motor 3-Way Beating Action

Sunbeam revolutionized mixing with its 3-way beating action, introduced in the 1930s. This action is achieved by the beaters turning against each other while the bowl also rotates. The latest innovation features a dual-motor system: one motor drives the beaters in opposite directions, while the second motor drives the turntable, rotating the bowl against the direction of the outer beater. The bowl speed is automatically calibrated to the selected mixing speed, ensuring more powerful and thorough mixing. This dual-motor design is patent pending.

Preparing the Stand Mixer for Use

Before operating, ensure the speed control dial is set to OFF and the power cord is unplugged. Wash bowls and attachments before initial use.

Raising and Lowering the Mixing Head

Press the tilt release button (located at the top of the mixer neck). While the button is depressed, hold the handle and ease the mixer head back. It will lock into position. To lower, press the tilt release button again, hold the handle, and ease the head down. A "click" indicates it has locked.

Installing the Attachments

Select the appropriate attachments for your task. Take attachment (A) (with a red band) and insert it into the socket nearest the side of the bowl (marked with a red dot). Take attachment (B) (with a white band) and insert it into the socket nearest the center of the bowl. Ensure both attachments click firmly into place; slight twisting may be necessary.

Preparation: Adding the Mixing Bowl

Once the desired bowl is selected, move the turntable bowl selector switch to the appropriate icon (large or small bowl). Gently rotate the bowl counter-clockwise until it drops into place (A). Then, rotate the bowl clockwise to lock it (B). The bowl should feel firm and immobile.

Note: Mixing bowls should NEVER be used in conventional ovens, microwave ovens, on stovetops, or any other heated surface. Do not use if bowls are scratched or chipped.

Shows the correct placement and locking of the mixing bowl onto the turntable.

Operating Instructions: About the Speed Control Dial

The speed control dial turns the mixer ON/OFF and selects one of the 12 mixing speeds. Rotate the dial clockwise to increase speed and counter-clockwise to decrease speed. The indicator on the mixer head aligns with the numbered speed setting.

Shows the speed control dial and the speed indicator on the mixer head.

Mixing Guide

This guide provides recommended speeds and accessories for various mixing tasks. Speeds and tasks may vary slightly by recipe. It is generally best to start mixing at a lower speed until ingredients combine, then increase to the recommended speed. For larger quantities, a higher speed may be needed. When adding dry ingredients like flour, reduce speed to prevent dust clouds, then gradually increase speed as ingredients combine.
