Important Safety Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before operating the mixer.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the mixer base, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, and clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils, away from beaters during operation to reduce the risk of injury to persons and/or damage to the mixer.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
10. Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including the stove.
11. Always operate the mixer with the bowl cover in place to prevent splashing.

Maintenance & Cleaning

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

• Always unplug the mixer from the power outlet before cleaning.

• Splash Guard: The splash guard can be washed by hand in warm, soapy water and dried.
• Storage: Store the mixer and its accessories in a dry place. The attachments can be stored inside the mixing bowl for convenience.

Troubleshooting

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

• Mixer does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the speed control knob is set to a speed other than '0' or 'P'.
  • Verify that the motor head is fully lowered and locked into place.
• Attachments are difficult to install or remove:
  • Ensure the motor head is in the raised position before attempting to attach or remove accessories.
  • Align the attachment correctly with the output shaft and follow the push-and-twist motion.
• Mixer is excessively loud or vibrates:
  • Ensure the mixer is placed on a stable, flat surface. The anti-skid suction cups should be engaged.
  • Check that the mixing bowl and attachment are correctly installed and locked.
  • Avoid overloading the mixer with ingredients beyond its capacity.
• Ingredients are not mixing evenly:
  • Ensure the correct attachment is being used for the type of mixture (e.g., dough hook for heavy dough, whisk for light mixtures).
  • The planetary mixing action is designed for thorough mixing; however, occasionally scrape down the sides of the bowl with the silicone spatula if needed.
