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:

Mixer Components and Attachments

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.

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.

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.

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.

Caring For Your Mixer

Cleaning Your Mixer

Wipe the mixer head, stand, and turntable with a damp cloth and dry. NEVER immerse the stand mixer in water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Wash beaters and bowls in hot, soapy water after each use; they are also dishwasher safe.

Storing Your Mixer

Store the mixer in a clean, dry location. Place beaters in sockets, dough hooks and attachments in the mixing bowl. Store bowls on the turntable. Wind the power cord and secure it.

Maintenance

The mixer motor is factory-lubricated and requires no further user maintenance. For service or repairs, contact Consumer Services (1-800-458-8407 in U.S. or 1-800-667-8623 in Canada).

Helpful Hints

• For hot liquids or large batches, use the large mixing bowl or make small quantities to reduce spillage.
• Add ingredients as specified in the recipe.
• Use the mixing speed recommended in the recipe. Refer to the mixing guide.
• Do not overmix; it can make mixtures tough.
• If an object falls into the bowl during operation, immediately turn the mixer OFF and remove the object.
• For easier cleanup, remove and rinse beaters immediately with warm water.
