Quick guide from the manual
The Sunbeam Mixmaster Hand Mixer is designed for household mixing tasks. Before using the mixer for the first time, wash all attachments in hot, soapy water. Always ensure the speed control is set to OFF before plugging in, unplugging, or changing attachments. Never immerse the mixer in water or other liquids.
Product Overview
The mixer features a speed control dial that doubles as an eject button, an ergonomic handle, and a heel rest for stability. Models 2526 and 2545 include a Burst of Power button for heavy mixing tasks.
Installation
To install attachments:
- Ensure the mixer is unplugged and the speed control is set to OFF.
- Insert attachments one at a time by placing the stem end into the opening on the bottom of the mixer.
- Turn the attachment slightly and push in until it clicks into position.
- Note: The whisk and drink rod can be inserted into either opening.
- Dough Hooks: The dough hook with the collar must be placed in the left drive hole. If they do not click, reverse them and try again.
Operation
To operate the mixer:
- Plug the unit into an appropriate outlet.
- Adjust the speed using the control on the top of the unit.
- When adding dry ingredients like flour, use a lower speed to avoid a 'snowstorm' effect.
- For heavy mixing tasks (models 2526 and 2545), press the Burst of Power button for an added boost.
Mixing Guide
Use the following speed settings as a general guide:
- Speed 1 (Stir): Liquid ingredients or mixing dry and liquid together.
- Speed 2 (Mix): Combining ingredients for quick breads or muffins.
- Speed 3 (Blend): Cake mixes or creaming butter and sugar.
- Speed 4 (Beat): Frosting or whipping cream.
- Speed 5-6 (Whip): Mashed potatoes or whipping egg whites.
Care and Cleaning
To clean the mixer:
- Set the speed control to OFF, unplug the cord, and eject the beaters.
- Attachments are dishwasher safe or can be washed in hot, soapy water.
- Wipe the mixer body and cord with a damp cloth, then dry with a clean cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the mixer.
- Store the mixer on its heel rest in a clean, dry location.
