1. Unboxing & Checking Components

Before setting up your mixer, ensure all standard components are included:

• Dough Hook – Used for kneading bread and heavy doughs.

2. Assembling the Mixer

Step 1: Attach the Mixing Bowl

1. Place the mixing bowl onto the motor base.
2. Rotate the bowl clockwise until it locks into place.

Step 2: Install the Mixing Tool

• For bread dough, attach the dough hook by inserting it onto the center column of the bowl.
• For whipping and beating, attach the wire whips onto the plastic whip drive before placing it onto the center post.
• For cookie dough and thick batters, use the optional cookie paddles if available.

Step 3: Secure the Splash Cover & Lid

2. Secure the lid to keep ingredients from splattering.

3. Connecting to Power & Adjusting Settings

   • Pulse Function: Provides quick bursts of power for precision mixing.

4. Preparing for First-Time Use

Before mixing ingredients for the first time, follow these steps:
