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 unit.

This is normal.

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.
