2. Be sure the mixing bowl alignment pin at the back of the bowl is properly engaged with the
insertion receptacle in the center of bowl support.
3. Be sure to seat the bowl properly on the alignment pins on the bowl support.
4. If using a bowl adapter, install it as you would a bowl, and then put the bowl In place as usual.
5. Install the agitator by lifting it on to the agitator shaft, and twist it to the right until the agitator
lock engages. To remove the agitator, raise it on the shaft, twist it to the left, and pull down.
6. To avoid splatters, add all ingredients before starting mixer.
7. Select the desired speed. Always stop the machine to change speeds-never change
speeds while mixer is in operation.
8. Set the timer to the desired mixing time and set timer switch to ON position, or leave timer at “0”
and timer switch OFF for un-timed mixing. On some models, the timer switch is integrated with

MAXIMUM MIXING CAPACITY
The moisture content of heavy dough is a critical factor when selecting proper mixing speed. You
should never use 2nd speed when mixing heavy dough with an Absorption Ratio (AR) of 50% or
less. To determine the Absorption Ratio (AR) of a product, water weight divide by flour
weight.
Example: Calculate the Absorption Ratio of a mixture containing 5 lbs. of water and
10 lbs. of flour. 5 ÷10 = 0.50 = 50 % = AR

FUNCTIONS OF ACCESSORIES
DOUGH ARM:
Frequently used for heavy bread dough, and preferable to be used at low speed.
The moisture content of heavy dough is critical when selecting proper mixing
speed. You should never use 2nd speed when mixing heavy dough with an
Absorption Ratio (AR) of 50% or less.
BEATER:
Commonly used for thin batters, cake and mashing potatoes, like stuffing and
preferable to be used at middle speed.
WIRE WHIP:
Best for whipping cream and beating eggs and preferable to be used at high
speed.
BOWL
New mixers bowls and agitators (beaters, whip, and dough arms) should be thoroughly washed
with hot water and mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution, and
thoroughly rinsed with clean water BEFORE being put into service. This cleaning procedure
should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites with or whole eggs.
HUB ATTACHMENTS
The mixer’s standard-sized, No. 12 hub accommodates a variety of optional attachments. To
install an attachment, loosen the thumbscrew on the attachment hub and remove the hub cover
plug. Insert the attachment into the attachment hub making certain that the square shank of the

American Eagle Food Machinery, Inc. AE-20, 30, 40P(A) Owner’s

Ml
attachment is in the square driver of the mixer. Secure the attachment by tightening the
thumbscrew. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s installation, operation, and safety instructions for
the hub attachment. Attachment hub should not be used while mixing.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE : ALL MAINTENANCE WORK SHOULD BE DONE ONLY AFTER UNIT HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED FROM ELECTRICAL POWER AND GROUNDING.
General
Clean the mixer after each day’s use. It should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth. Use a soft brush to clean
areas that are difficult to clean with a cloth. NEVER USE A METAL OR OTHER TYPE OF STIFF BRUSH
TO CLEAN THE MIXER. NEVER CLEAN THE MIXER WITH A WATER HOSE OR ANY TYPE OF FLUID
UNDER PRESSURE OR IN HIGH QUANTITY.
Daily
zClean the mixer regularly after each day’s use.
zDo not run the mixer continuously for long periods.
zWash the bowl, agitators, and attachments according to normal food-contact equipment procedures
after each use.
Weekly
zInspect planetary mechanism and transmission case for leaks or damage. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL
SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO REPACK THE BALL BEARING.
Use of unapproved grease or lubricants may lead to damage and may void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Periodic
zLubricate the bowl lift semi-annually, or more often under heavier use.
zInspect the drip cup periodically for moisture or lubricant dripping. Remove the cup and wipe it with a
soft cloth.
Lubrication
zThe mixer comes with grease-packed ball bearing and/or roller bearing that do not require regular
lubrication. When it becomes necessary to repack them, contact your authorized service representative
or AMERICAN EAGLE.
zThe bowl slideways require periodic lubrication with a small quantity of high-quality mineral oil that
may be applied with a cotton swab or by finger tip.
zThe polished drip cup protects against lubricant seeping out of the planetary into the bowl. The drip cup
should be wiped clean monthly and inspected for excessive leakage. The drip cup may be removed by

Ml
pulling down on it.
Electrical
zThe mixer’s electrical system does not require electrical maintenance under normal use. Should service
be required, contact your local service representative or AMERICAN EAGLE.

Motor overheats ⇒Power supply problem. ⇒Check power supply voltage.
Motor stop ⇒Overload.
⇒Speed too high.
⇒Wrong agitator.
⇒Correct load
⇒Decrease speed
⇒Install correct agitator.
Gearbox noise ⇒Insufficient lubricant. ⇒Add oil
Motor works, but agitator
doesn’t rotate.
⇒Transmission problem ⇒Call for authorized service.
Speed select binds ⇒Gears are not proper engaged. ⇒Turn machine off, then rotate
