Description

The mixer is built with durability and functionality in mind. The 3.5-quart stainless steel bowl is large enough to handle big batches but small enough to fit comfortably on most kitchen countertops. The planetary mixing action ensures that ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the bowl, reducing the need for manual scraping.

The mixer's 7-speed control allows for a range of mixing tasks, from gentle folding to heavy-duty kneading. The included attachments – flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip – are designed to handle various baking tasks with ease.

Features about Hamilton Beach

2. Bowl Rest
   This feature can be used on most large mixing bowls. Use the Bowl Rest while adding ingredients or checking a recipe. To use, TURN MIXER OFF () and then set the mixer on the edge of the bowl.

How to Assemble Stand

The stand mixer is very convenient for most recipes. However, small amounts—like one cup (237 ml) of cream—may not contact the beaters in the stand mixer mode. In these cases we recommend using as a hand mixer.

NOTE: Attach mixer to stand before attaching beaters or dough hooks.

1. Set stand on the counter. With platform level and while holding mixer as shown, place the two small holes on the bottom of the mixer into  the two hooks on platform.
2. As the mixer is lowered, gently press the back of the mixer onto the platform until it locks in position. The mixer can now be used as a stand mixer.

3. Push the Tilt Button to tilt the mixer.

Mixing Tips

Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by following these tips:

• Use a large mixing bowl so that ingredients spread out for easier mixing.
• Have butter or margarine at room temperature.

• Add flour one cup at a time.
• To add chips or nuts to a very thick dough or batter, we recommend stirring them in by hand at the very end of the recipe.
