Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your dough mixer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not start: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working 120V outlet. Check if the bowl and cover are correctly assembled and seated.
• Dough is not mixing effectively: Verify that the amount of dough is within the recommended capacity (1-5 liters). Ensure the kneading blade is properly installed.
• Appliance wobbles during operation: Make sure the mixer is placed on a flat, stable, and dry surface. The non-slip silicone suction cups on the base should be firmly engaged with the countertop.
• Overheating protection activated: The mixer has built-in overload and overheating protection. If the unit stops unexpectedly, unplug it and allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes before resuming operation. Reduce the load if consistently overheating.
