Parts Overview

The mixer consists of the following main components:

Notes:

• Do not hose down the mixer.
• Do not operate the mixer with wet hands.
• Unplug the mixer from the electrical supply prior to any maintenance or repairs.
• The reset button is a black button located on the left side of the mixer, just above the base.

Diagram Description: A line drawing shows the main body of the mixer with numbered parts corresponding to the table above. Another smaller drawing shows the mixer with the bowl attached.

Standard Accessories

The following accessories are included with the mixer:

NOTES:

• Any agitator is easily installed by raising it onto the mixing axle and rotating it clockwise until it locks. To remove, raise the agitator until it clears the lock and rotate counter-clockwise.
• All accessories are precisely fitted to the bowl, have rounded corners, and are easily removable for cleaning.

Operation Instructions

Power Supply: Please ensure that your power supply matches your machine (NEMA 5-15P, 110V).

Changing Speed: Please stop the machine first before changing speed to avoid damage to the gear box. ⚠️

Mixing: Always use the correct attachment for the job.

• A. Wisk: Suitable for mixing liquids and soft ingredients. Can work at all speeds. Do not run for more than 15 minutes.
• B. Flat Beater: Suitable for mixing dry ingredients. Can work at low & medium speeds only. Do not use at high speed. Do not run for more than 15 minutes.
• C. Dough Hook: Suitable for mixing dough. Can work at low & medium speeds only. Do not use at high speed. Do not run for more than 20 minutes. Absorption ratio must be more than 50%. Refer to mixer capacity chart.

Mixer Capacity Chart

When mixing dough (pizza, bread or bagels), check your "AR" absorption ratio - water weight divided by flour weight. Above capacities are based on 12% flour moisture at 70°F water temperature. If high gluten flour is used, reduce above dough batch size by 10%.

Example: If recipe calls for 5 lb. of water and 10 lb. of flour, then 5 divided by 10 = 0.50 x 100 = 50 %AR.

• 2nd Speed should never be used on mixtures with less than 50% AR.
• Do not use attachments on hub while mixing.

Helpful Weights & Measures:

• 8.3 lb. = 1 gallon of water
• 2.08 lb. = 1 Quart.

Cleaning

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CLEANING ⚠️

All new mixer bowls and accessories, including whips, beaters, and dough hooks, should be properly washed before use.

Wash with hot water and a mild soap solution, then rinse with either a mild vinegar or soda solution, and then rinse again with clean water. This cleaning procedure is highly recommended for bowls and accessories prior to whipping egg whites or whole eggs. The mixer should be cleaned daily with a clean damp cloth.

If the unit has not been used for some time, it is recommended that the procedure above is followed before mixer use. It is important that the rear bowl lift guides are greased every three months to prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Transmission Case, Arm, Stand (Figure 1)

NOTES:

• The factory has provided superior lubricant for several years of use. If the mixer is repaired, please ensure that the service technician replaces any lubricant lost or removed.
• Please lubricate bearings before refitting bearing covers.

Planetary Shaft Assembly (Figure 2)

NOTES:

• Be sure to install the correct position (see Figure 2-1) and lubricate all of the pins in the sleeve drive when reassembling.
• Joint (9) must always be raised and lowered smoothly. Be sure joint sleeve as shown in Figure 2-2.
• Check oil seal (14); if serious oil leaks from drip cup.

NOTES:

• At the center in the shaft unit. To the above gear is the gear shaft and gear shaft I (see figure 3-1).
• C-type stop ring (6/8) has to be fixed when reassembling.
• Be sure that the keys are inserted for each gear.

Worm Gear Shaft Assembly (Figure 4)

NOTES:

• C-Type stop ring (5) has to be fixed when reassembling.

Motor Unit (Figure 5)

Diagram Description: An exploded view of the motor unit with numbered components. Includes a diagram showing component systems of the motor.

NOTES:

• If the motor does not work, first verify the power source and connection. Next, check for damaged or faulty wiring or connections inside the mixer. A faulty motor may be the result of incorrect voltage, broken wires, or a defective centrifugal governor. Motor damage may also be caused by bowl overload during mixing.
• Motor set includes motor axle (6), rotor (7) and stator.
• Figure 5-1 is component system diagrams of the motor.

Shifting Mechanism (Figure 6)

Diagram Description: An exploded view of the shifting mechanism with numbered components. Includes a diagram showing the fork and speed block.

NOTES:

• The speed selector / shifting mechanism is designed for simplicity and reliability. It features three mixing speeds.
• Apply sealant to the shift selector assembly when installing.
• Speed selection is made by aligning the pointer of the shift handle to the required action (e.g., Whisk for eggs & cream, Paddle for batter, Hook for dough).
• Important: Stop the mixer before changing speed. ⚠️
