Please read the following before
calling your service center.
1. The stand mixer may warm up
during use. Under heavy loads
with extended mixing time
periods, you may not be able to
comfortably touch the top of the
unit. This is normal.
2. The stand mixer may emit a
pungent odor, especially when
new. This is common with
electric motors.
3. If the flat beater hits the bowl,
stop the stand mixer. See the
“Beater Bowl Clearance” section.
Keep a copy of the sales receipt
showing the date of purchase.
Proof of purchase will assure you of
in-warranty service.
If your stand mixer should
malfunction or 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 the stand mixer off for 10-
15 seconds, then turn it back on.
If the mixer still does not start,
allow it to cool for 30 minutes
before turning it back on.
- If the problem is not due to one
of the above items, see the
“Arranging for Service” section.
- Do not return the stand mixer to
the retailer as they do not provide
service.
Electrical Requirements
Volts: 120 A.C. only. Hertz: 60
The wattage rating for your stand
mixer is printed on the serial plate.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.
The maximum rating is based on
the attachment that draws the
greatest load (power). Other
recommended attachments may
draw significantly less power.
