Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
- Clean: Before first use, wash the stainless steel bowl, whisk, dough hook, and beater in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The main unit should be wiped with a damp cloth.
- Placement: Place the mixer on a clean, dry, flat, and stable surface. Ensure the anti-slip feet are firmly suctioned to the countertop for stability during operation.
- Attach Bowl: Place the 6.5QT stainless steel bowl onto the base, aligning the grooves, and twist clockwise until it locks securely.
- Install Attachment: Ensure the mixer head is tilted up. Select the appropriate attachment (whisk, dough hook, or beater) for your recipe. Insert the attachment into the shaft, pushing upwards and twisting slightly until it clicks into place.

Operating Instructions
The Aucma Stand Mixer features 6 optimized speeds with a pulse function for precise control over your mixing tasks.
- Add Ingredients: With the mixer head tilted up or the splash guard in place, add your ingredients to the mixing bowl. The splash guard with access hatch allows for adding ingredients without making a mess during operation.
- Select Speed: Turn the speed control knob to the desired setting (1-6). Start with a lower speed and gradually increase as needed to prevent splashing and ensure thorough mixing.
- Pulse Function: For short bursts of power or quick mixing, turn the knob to the 'P' (Pulse) setting and release. The mixer will operate at maximum speed as long as the knob is held in the 'P' position.
- Monitor Mixing: Observe the mixing process. If necessary, stop the mixer, tilt the head, and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Finish Mixing: Once mixing is complete, turn the speed control knob to '0' (Off) and unplug the mixer from the power outlet.
