3. Mixing Techniques:
   • For general mixing of batters, use the Helix beaters.

6. Troubleshooting

• Mixer does not turn on: Ensure the mixer is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the speed selector is set to a speed other than '0'.
• Beaters wobble or fall out: Verify that the beaters are correctly inserted into their designated slots and clicked into place. The Helix beaters have specific left and right orientations.
• Batter climbs up beaters: This can occur with very thick mixtures. Ensure you are using the appropriate attachment (e.g., dough hooks for thick doughs) and consider adjusting the speed.
• Unusual noise during operation: Discontinue use and check for any obstructions or improperly installed attachments. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
