Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Aucma Stand Mixer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mixer does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet malfunction; safety lock not engaged. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the tilt-head is fully lowered and locked into place. |
| Mixer shakes excessively during operation. | Unstable surface; heavy load; suction cups not gripping. | Ensure the mixer is on a flat, stable surface. Reduce the load if mixing very heavy dough. Press down on the mixer to ensure the suction cups are firmly attached to the countertop. |
| Ingredients not mixing evenly. | Incorrect attachment or speed; insufficient liquid. | Ensure the correct attachment is used for the mixture. Adjust speed as needed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically. |
| Motor sounds strained or overheats. | Overload; continuous operation at high speed with heavy mixture. | Reduce the amount of ingredients. Allow the mixer to cool down if it feels hot. The 900W motor is designed with overheat protection. |
