• The attachments (dough hook, mixing beater, wire whip) should be hand-washed with warm soapy water.
• Note: The specifications indicate the product is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash all parts to prevent damage.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots or corrosion.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your CUSIMAX 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 outlet. Check if the mixer head is properly locked down. The mixer has a safety mechanism that prevents operation if the head is not fully lowered and locked.
• Attachments are difficult to install/remove: Ensure the mixer head is fully tilted up. Push the attachment firmly upwards and rotate to lock or unlock. Do not force attachments.
• Excessive vibration or noise: This can occur with very heavy doughs, especially at higher speeds. Ensure the mixer is on a stable, flat surface. The anti-slip silicone suction cups should keep it steady. Reduce the batch size if the load is too heavy for the mixer.
• Ingredients not mixing evenly: Use the splash guard's access port to add ingredients gradually. Occasionally stop the mixer and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, please contact CUSIMAX customer support.
