GLASS BOWL CARE*

IMPORTANT:

• Glass bowl may crack or break if
exposed to sudden temperature
changes. To prevent potential damage:

- Do not place hot bowl on wet or cold
surface, or add cold water to a hot

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Stand Mixer should malfunction,
please check the following:

1. The Stand Mixer may warm 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.

ENGLISH

• The glass bowl is both microwave- and
dishwasher-safe.

• Do not use the glass bowl in the oven.

• The glass bowl lid is non-sealing, and
is dishwasher-safe (top rack only).

2. The Stand Mixer may emit a pungent

odor, especially when new. This is
common with electric motors.

3. If the flat beater hits the bowl, stop the

Stand Mixer. See the “Assembling the
Stand Mixer” section and adjust the
beater to bowl clearance.

4. 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.

5. 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 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.

*Available with select models only and available as an accessory purchase.
