WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
Problem Solution
If Stand Mixer warms up during
use:
Under heavy loads with extended mixing time periods, you
may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the Stand
Mixer. This is normal.
If Stand Mixer emits a pungent
odor during initial use: This is normal. This is common with electric motors.
If the flat beater hits the bowl: Stop the Stand Mixer. See the “Product Assembly” section
and adjust the beater to bowl clearance.
The speed control lever does
not move smoothly or easily: To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.
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.
