Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into an earthed outlet.

Do not remove earth 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage: 127 V & 220 V

Frequency: 60 Hz

NOTE: The power rating for your Stand

Mixer is printed on the serial plate.

Use an appropriate outlet to plug in your

Stand Mixer. If the plug does not fit in the

outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do

not modify the plug in any way. Do not

use adapters or T’s.

Do not use an extension cord. If the

power supply cord is too short, have a

qualified electrician or service person

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.

PRODUCT SAFETY

Electric outlet:

For your safety and to avoid damage to

your product, it is very important that your

product is earthed correctly.

Your appliance power cord features a

hexagon-shaped plug, 10A, per ABNT

(NBR 14136).

Your residence electrical installation must

have a suitable electric outlet for this type

of plug. If not, it is your responsibility to

have one installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Use appropriate outlet type for your

appliance plug, as shown below:

Before operating this

appliance, make sure

the main voltage at

the installation site is

the same as indicated

on product technical

data label.

This information is also included on the

label attached to your appliance’s cord

near the plug.

IMPORTANT:

• If it is necessary to convert your 127V

appliance to 220V, use a 1.0 KVA

stabiliser.

• If it is necessary to convert your 220V

appliance to 127V, use a 1.0 KVA

stabiliser.

• Never plug your

appliance into

multiplug adapters

with another

appliance in the same

socket. Do not use an

extension cord. This type of connection

may cause electrical overload in the

mains, and can damage the appliance

and could cause a ﬁre. The appliance

should be plugged into its own outlet.

• In case of oscillation in mains voltage,

install an automatic voltage stabiliser

with minimum rating of 1500 Watts

between the appliance and the socket.

• If the cord of this appliance is damaged,

it must be replaced. Contact your

nearest authorised KitchenAid Customer

Care Centre.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

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.

If product shuts off after

extensive use:

Motor has automatic sensor that will keep motor from

overheating by shutting it off. If this occurs, turn speed

switch to off and let Stand Mixer rest for 30 minutes before

restarting.

If mixer is slowing down or

appearing to struggle:

Are you using the appropriate beater and speed? See

“Accessory/Speed Guide“ for more information. Using

1/2 Speed or Speed 1 for bread doughs and heavy loads

might slow down the unit. Breads should knead with the

dough hook at Speed 2. If you have slowdown with heavy

loads at 1/2 Speed, increase to Speed 1 or 2.

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.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into an earthed outlet.

Do not remove an earth prong.
