- 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 "Arranging for

Service" on page 4.

- Do not return the Stand Mixer to

the retailer as they do not provide
