Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your KUCCU Stand Mixer.
- Always unplug the mixer before cleaning.
- The stainless steel mixing bowl, wire whisk, flat beater, and dough hook are dishwasher-safe.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your KUCCU Stand Mixer, refer to the following common problems and their solutions:
- Mixer does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the speed control knob is set to a position other than '0'. Verify the tilt-head is fully lowered and locked into place.
- Attachments not fitting correctly: Ensure the tilt-head is fully raised and locked before attempting to attach or detach accessories. Make sure the attachment is pushed firmly upwards and turned counter-clockwise until it clicks into place.
- Excessive noise or vibration: Confirm the mixer is placed on a stable, flat surface and that the suction cups are firmly attached. Ensure the mixing bowl is securely locked into the base. Reduce the quantity of ingredients if overloading is suspected.
- Dough not mixing properly or mixer struggling: For heavy doughs, ensure you are using the dough hook attachment and operating at speeds 1-2. Do not overload the bowl beyond its recommended capacity.
- Unusual wear or material residue: In rare cases, some users have reported issues with internal components showing wear or producing residue. If you observe metal flakes or unusual material in your mixtures, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.
