5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Maxima Spiral Dough Mixer and ensure hygienic operation:
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the mixer from the power outlet before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
- Clean Bowl and Hook: After each use, remove any remaining dough. The stainless steel bowl and spiral hook should be cleaned with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent water spots or corrosion.
- Clean Housing: Wipe down the metal housing with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface finish.
- Avoid Water Immersion: Never immerse the main unit or electrical components in water.
- Inspect Components: Periodically check the power cord for damage, and ensure all screws and fasteners are tight. Inspect the safety guard and its switch for proper function.
- Lubrication: The internal drive system (chain and V-belt) is designed for durability and typically does not require user lubrication. If you notice unusual noises or performance issues, contact a qualified technician.
