HINTS AND TIPS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Question: Why is my stand mixer not working?
  Answer: The stand mixer may not be plugged in and switched on, or the speed has not been selected. Check the stand mixer is plugged in and switched on, the power button on the LED control panel should be illuminated and the arm of the stand mixer is down. Press the power button to illuminate the LED control panel and increase the speed to 1 and then the start/pause button to check. Check that the attachments and splatter guard are properly fitted, so that the arm is fully tilted down, or the stand mixer will not work.

• Question: Why is the beater attachment struggling to rotate?
  Answer: The mixture is too thick or you have added too many ingredients to the bowl, add more liquid. If your recipe states otherwise, your mixture cannot
  be mixed with the stand mixer. You may need to soften the ingredients or chop them into smaller pieces before further mixing.

• Question: Why is my mixture splattering over the work surface?
  Answer: The speed may be set too high, select a lower speed.
  Make sure the splatter guard is attached to the bowl.

• Question: Why is the mixing bowl making a noise when mixing?
  Answer: The mixing bowl may not be located properly, check that is is locked correctly into place. The attachment might not be correct attached.

• Question: Why is the stand mixer moving across the worksurface when in use?
  Answer: Check that all the anti-slip suction feet are in position and that the appliance is on a dry, level surface.
