Troubleshooting

Warm Tips about Stop Working

1. The Vospeed Stand Mixer has a safety protection function that prevents hazards from developing in the event of a fault. If the machine stops automatically during use, please unplug the power, turn the knob to "0", wait for 20-30 minutes before plugging in. Turn on the power and control the knob to another speed for the machine to work again.
2. First, you should use speed 1 to stir the flour for about 30 seconds, then speed 2 to stir the flour and water for about 30 seconds, after that use speed 3 to stir the flour for 4 to 5 minutes. Finally, turn the knob to "0" position. Overloading or overheating causes damage when you always quickly use other vigorously speeds.
3. It is recommended that you use the machine no more than ten minutes each time. With heavy mixtures, do not operate the machine for more than six minutes, and then allow it to cool down for a further ten minutes.
