Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity of your stand mixer.

1. Before Cleaning

• Always unplug the mixer from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Ensure the speed control dial is set to '0'.
• Remove all attachments and the mixing bowl.

2. Cleaning Attachments and Bowl

• The beater, dough hook, and whisk are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
• The 6.5QT stainless steel mixing bowl can also be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.

3. Cleaning the Mixer Body

• Wipe the exterior of the mixer body with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Never immerse the mixer body, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing or next use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Facelle SM1519 Stand Mixer, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

• Mixer does not turn on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Check if the speed control dial is set to '0' before attempting to turn it to a speed setting.
  • If the mixer has been running for an extended period, the over-heating protection may have activated. Unplug the mixer and allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes before restarting.
• Attachments are difficult to apply or remove:
  • Ensure the mixer head is fully tilted up and locked before attempting to attach or remove accessories.
  • Apply a small amount of food-grade oil to the attachment shaft if resistance persists. This may ease attachment over time.
• Mixer vibrates excessively during operation:
  • Ensure the mixer is placed on a flat, stable, and dry surface.
  • Verify that the anti-slip feet are properly suctioned to the countertop.
  • Check that the mixing bowl and attachment are securely locked in place.
• LED indicator flashes but mixer does not operate:
  • This may indicate the mixer head is not fully locked down. Ensure the tilt-head is securely in the operating position.
