5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FOHERE Stand Mixer.

• Before Cleaning: Always unplug the mixer from the power outlet.

• Mixing Bowl: The stainless steel mixing bowl is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your FOHERE Stand Mixer, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Mixer does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the motor head is fully lowered and locked into place. The mixer has a safety mechanism that prevents operation if the head is not locked.
  • Verify the speed control knob is not set to '0' or 'P' (Pulse) if continuous operation is desired.
• Attachments are not mixing properly:
  • Ensure the attachment is correctly installed and securely twisted onto the shaft.
  • Check that the mixing bowl is properly seated and locked onto the base.
  • Adjust the speed setting according to the type of mixture and attachment being used.
• Mixer is excessively noisy or vibrating:
  • Ensure the mixer is placed on a stable, flat surface. The anti-skid suction feet should be engaged.
  • Verify that the mixing bowl and attachment are correctly installed and secured.
  • Avoid overloading the mixer with ingredients beyond its capacity.
• Overheat Protection: The mixer is equipped with a smart sensor for overheat protection. If the motor becomes too hot, it may automatically shut off. Unplug the mixer and allow it to cool down for at least 20-30 minutes before attempting to use it again.
