Usage Tips:

• Always start mixing at a low speed and gradually increase as needed to prevent splashing.
• Do not use the flat beater for kneading yeast dough; use a dough hook for such tasks.
• Periodically scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your flat beater, consider the following:

• Excessive noise or vibration: Verify the beater is securely attached to the shaft. If the issue persists, consult your stand mixer's manual or contact customer support.
