If your Stand Mixer should fail
to operate, please check the
following:
Is the Stand Mixer plugged in?
Is the fuse in the circuit to the Stand Mixer in working order?
If you have a Circuit Breaker Box, be sure the circuit is
closed.
Turn off the Stand Mixer for 10-15 seconds, then turn it back
on. If the Stand Mixer still does not start, allow it to cool for
30 minutes before turning it back on.
Note: If the problem cannot be corrected, See the “Warranty and Service” section.
Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
