Troubleshooting
- Mixer stops during operation: The mixer may have activated its overload protection. Unplug the unit, allow it to cool down for 15-20 minutes, and reduce the load before restarting.
- Excessive noise: Ensure the mixing bowl and attachments are correctly installed and locked into place. The mixer is designed for low noise operation, but heavy loads may produce slightly more sound.
- Dough sticking to the hook: This can occur with very heavy or sticky doughs. Stop the mixer, scrape the dough off the hook, and continue mixing. Adjusting the dough's consistency slightly may also help.
- Attachments not reaching ingredients: Ensure the bowl is properly seated and locked. The planetary action is designed to reach all areas of the bowl.
