2. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all accessories (Burnished Flat Beater, Powerknead Spiral Dough Hook, Wire Whip, and 6-Quart Stainless Steel Bowl) are present.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the stainless steel bowl and all attachments in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. The mixer base can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Position the stand mixer on a dry, flat, and stable surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the mixer for operation and ventilation.
4. Attaching the Bowl: Lower the bowl-lift lever to its lowest position. Place the bowl supports over the locating pins on the mixer base. Press down on the back of the bowl until it snaps into place.
5. Attaching an Accessory: Ensure the mixer is unplugged. Slide the accessory onto the beater shaft, pushing upward as far as possible. Rotate the accessory to the right, hooking it over the pin on the shaft.

3. Operating Instructions

1. Adding Ingredients: With the bowl and desired accessory attached, raise the bowl by pushing the bowl-lift lever upward until it locks into place. Add your ingredients to the bowl.
2. Speed Control: The mixer features 10 speeds, controlled by a knob on the side. Start at a lower speed (e.g., 'Stir' or '2') to incorporate ingredients, then gradually increase to the desired speed for mixing, kneading, or whipping.
3. Power Hub: To use optional attachments (sold separately), open the cover on the front of the mixer head. Insert the attachment shaft into the power hub and tighten the attachment knob to secure it. Refer to the specific attachment's instructions for operation.
4. Stopping Operation: To stop the mixer, turn the speed control knob to 'Off/0'.
5. Removing Bowl and Accessories: Lower the bowl-lift lever to its lowest position. Rotate the accessory to the left and pull it off the beater shaft. Lift the bowl from the locating pins.

4. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Mixer Base: Unplug the mixer before cleaning. Wipe the mixer base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the mixer in water.
• Cleaning the Bowl and Attachments: The 6-Quart Stainless Steel Bowl, Burnished Flat Beater, Powerknead Spiral Dough Hook, and Wire Whip are dishwasher-safe. For best results, wash immediately after use.
• Storage: Store the mixer and its accessories in a clean, dry place.

5. Troubleshooting

• Mixer Does Not Start: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a grounded outlet. Check the speed control knob is set to a speed other than 'Off/0'.
• Attachments Not Reaching Ingredients: Verify the bowl-lift lever is fully raised and locked into the operating position. Ensure the correct size bowl and attachments are being used for your mixer model.
• Motor Sounds Strained: This mixer is designed for heavy loads. If the motor sounds strained, ensure you are not exceeding the recommended capacity for ingredients. Reduce the load if necessary.
• Excessive Vibration: Ensure the mixer is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check that the bowl is properly seated and locked into place.
