Maintenance and Cleaning

• Unplug Before Cleaning: Always ensure the mixer is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the mixer base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.
• Bowl and Attachments: The glass bowl, splash guard, and all interchangeable tools (flat beater, whisk, dough hook, funnel, egg separator, grater/zester) are dishwasher safe. Hand wash promptly after use to prevent food residue from drying. Avoid abrasive cleansers.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.

Safety Information

• Stable Placement: Always operate the mixer on a stable, flat, and dry surface. The mixer's weight and suction cups help maintain stability.
• Safety Start Feature: The mixer is designed to only start when the speed control knob is set to '0'. This prevents accidental starts.
• Overheating Protection: The mixer features a work light that illuminates during operation and also alerts you to operational errors or motor overheating. If the motor stops due to overheating, turn the speed switch to zero and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before restarting.
• Glass Bowl Usage: The glass mixer bowl is designed for mixing purposes only. Do not use it for cooking or heating, as extreme temperatures may cause breakage or shattering.
• Children and Pets: Keep hands, hair, clothing, and utensils away from moving parts during operation. Supervise children closely if they are near the appliance.

Troubleshooting

• Mixer Not Starting: Ensure the speed control knob is set to '0' before attempting to start. Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
• Motor Overheating: If the mixer stops during extended use or when handling heavy doughs, the motor's overheating protection may have activated. Turn the speed switch to zero and allow the unit to cool for 10-15 minutes before restarting.
• Dough Riding Up Attachments: For very small batches of dough, the dough may occasionally ride up the dough hook. This is less common with larger batches.
• Noise Level: The mixer operates quietly, ranging from 60 dB at speed 1 to 70 dB at speed 10, comparable to normal household sounds.
