Setup

Follow these steps to set up your stand mixer for first use:

1. Placing the Mixer: Place the mixer on a clean, dry, and stable countertop. The strong silicone suction cups on the base will help secure the unit during operation.
2. Attaching the Mixing Bowl: Ensure the mixer head is tilted up. Place the 8.5QT stainless steel mixing bowl onto the mixing bowl fixing plate and turn it clockwise until it locks securely into place.
3. Attaching Accessories: With the mixer head tilted up, select the desired accessory (dough hook, beater, or wire whip). Align the accessory with the shaft and push upwards, then rotate slightly until it clicks into place.
4. Attaching the Pouring Shield: Once the accessory and bowl are in place, lower the mixer head. The pouring shield can then be attached to the mixer head, covering the bowl opening. This helps prevent splashes and allows for easy addition of ingredients during mixing.

Planetary Mixing System

The mixer utilizes a planetary mixing action, where the beater orbits around the bowl while spinning on its own axis. This ensures thorough and even mixing, reaching all areas of the bowl.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your HOWORK Stand Mixer.

• Accessories: The dough hook, beater, wire whip, and pouring shield are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Mixing Bowl: The stainless steel mixing bowl is also dishwasher safe.
• Main Unit: Wipe the main unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
• Storage: Store the mixer and its accessories in a dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your HOWORK Stand Mixer, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Mixer stops during operation: The mixer is equipped with overload and overheat protection. If the current reaches the set safety power, it will automatically power off. Simply reset the speed knob to '0' and then operate again. Allow the motor to cool down if it has overheated.
• Attachments not fitting correctly: Ensure the mixer head is fully tilted up and the accessory is aligned correctly with the shaft before pushing and rotating to lock.
• Excessive noise or vibration: Ensure the mixer is on a stable, flat surface and the mixing bowl is securely locked in place. Check that the attachment is properly installed.
