IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

■ Read all instructions.

■ To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse mixer, cord, plug, or base unit in water or other liquid.

■ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

■ Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

■ Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, and handheld spatulas and other utensils away from beaters/whisks during operation to prevent injury and/or damage to the mixer.

■ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to an authorized service center for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■ The use of attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

■ Do not use outdoors.

■ Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

■ Remove beaters/whisks and spatula attachment from mixer before washing.

■ Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

■ Mixing flammable non-food substances may be hazardous.

2

■ Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

■ This product is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial use.

■ Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the mixer by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it from an outlet; instead, grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

■ Do not attempt to repair the mixer yourself; instead take it to a

Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc. Household Appliance Company-

Owned or Authorized Service Center for repair. Call the toll-free

“800” number listed on the cover of this book for the location of the Service Center nearest you.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug— one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

POWER BOOST

The Power Boost feature works great on tough mixing tasks and has easy-access thumb control.

Figure B

(such as mixing cookie dough), just press the Power Boost Button to get the maximum mixing performance.

As soon as the Power Boost Button is released, the Mixer will return to the speed setting you were previously using.

BEATER EJECT LEVER

The Spatula Smart® Mixer features a convenient Beater Eject

Lever which is located below the handle. It allows for easy release of the Beaters/Whisks using the index finger. (Figure B)

LARGE BEATERS

The large Beaters help you get fast, thorough mixing results. The

Beaters are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

BONUS WHISKS

(MODEL M175W ONLY)

The Whisks are perfect for whipping cream or eggs. They are especially useful when making meringue, omelets, fluffy angel food cake, or mousse. Like the

Beaters, the Whisks are dishwasher-safe.

SPATULA ATTACHMENT

5

The Spatula Attachment is used with the Beaters and allows you to scrape dry ingredients and batter from the bowl sides continuously while mixing. It snaps off for easy dishwasher or soap and water cleaning.

How To Use

1. Before using the Beaters, be sure the Mixer is unplugged and the Speed Control Switch is in the

OFF position. To insert a Beater, grasp the Mixer with one hand and the Beater stem with the other.

Insert the Beater into the opening; you may have to rotate it slightly until it locks into place. Use the same method when inserting the

Whisks (Model M175W only).

Repeat for the other Beater/Whisk.

2. Plug the Cord into an outlet.

3. Place the ingredients into a bowl, grip the Mixer handle, and position the Beaters/Whisks in the center of the food to be mixed.

4. Select the appropriate speed setting for the task. See the

“Mixing Guide” on page 9.

5. Guide the Beaters/Whisks continuously through the mixture for uniform mixing. Whenever you wish to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl using a handheld utensil, be sure to turn the Speed

6

Control Switch OFF. Place the

Mixer on the Heel Rest so that batter can drain into the bowl.

(Figure C)

6. To remove the Beaters/Whisk, push the Beater Eject Lever up with your index finger of one hand, then pull the Beater/Whisk out of the Mixer with the other hand.

Figure C

USING THE SPATULA

ATTACHMENT

7

Use the Spatula Attachment during mixing to scrape dry ingredients or batter from the bowl as you mix. It is designed for use when mixing thin (pudding, pancake batter) to medium batters (cake mixes, muffins, frosting) and for whipping mashed potatoes. It is not recommended when beating egg whites, whipping cream, or when mixing thick cookie dough. Do NOT use the Spatula Attachment with the

Whisks (Model M175W only).

1. Insert the Beaters into the

Mixer. Be sure the Mixer is unplugged and the speed control

Switch is in the OFF position.

Figure D

Figure E

8

2. Hold the Mixer by the handle with the Beaters facing forward.

The Spatula attachment should be positioned so that the Spatula is to the right of the Beaters.

3. Weave the top of the Spatula

Attachment under the left Beater shaft and over the right Beater shaft. The word “Front” on the

Attachment should face out from the front of the Mixer. Snap the

Attachment onto the Beater shafts.

(Figure D)

4. As you mix, place the front edge of the Spatula Attachment against the side of the bowl and move it forward slowly along the side of bowl to scrape away buildup and blend ingredients or batter back into the Beaters. (Figure E)

NOTE: If the Spatula Attachment detaches during use, be sure to turn OFF the Mixer before attempting to reattach the Spatula to the

Beaters.

CLEANING

1. Be sure the Speed Control Switch is in the OFF position before cleaning any part of the Mixer.

Unplug the cord and eject the Beaters/Whisks.

Remove the Spatula Attachment, if used.

2. The Beaters, Whisks (Model M175W only), and

Spatula Attachment may be washed in hot, sudsy water or in a dishwasher. Be sure to dry all parts thoroughly before storing.

3. Clean the Mixer or cord with a damp cloth. To remove stubborn spots, wipe surfaces with a cloth dampened in sudsy water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Follow with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the Mixer as they can damage the finish.

STORING

THE MIXER

1. For longer life, avoid jerking the Power Cord or straining it at the plug connection. To store, coil the

Cord in loops and secure it with a twist tie. Do not

wrap the cord around the Mixer.

2. Store the Beaters, Whisks (Model M175W only), and Spatula Attachment in a drawer or in the original packaging.

Mixing Tips

HOW TO BEAT EGG WHITES

• Beaters/Whisks and bowl must be clean.

• Be sure there is no egg yolk in the egg whites.

• For maximum volume, egg whites should be at room temperature.

10

• Beat at the highest speed (Whip #5) until egg whites are the desired consistency.

• Beating time varies with the freshness of eggs.

NOTE: For best results when beating egg whites, do not use an aluminum or plastic bowl. Use a stainless steel, copper, or glass bowl.

HOW TO WHIP CREAM

• Chill the cream, Beaters, and bowl.

• Start with the lowest setting (to minimize splatter) as the cream begins to thicken, gradually increase to WHIP (Setting #5).

• Whipping time varies with fat content, age, and temperature of cream.

NOTE: The Spatula Attachment is NOT recommended for use when whipping cream as volume may be reduced.
