CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR YOUR NEW MIXER

When selecting the best location for the mixer, it is helpful to consider the following:

Where is the best location for the operator, both for saving steps and easy viewing?
Is this a good location for product flow as in:
Easy to get ingredients to the mixer?
Destination of the mix after mixing?
Is there existing electrical service at this location?
Does this location provide easy access for cleaning and service?
Check to be sure that your mixer with attachments does not extend out into heavy traffic areas.
If stands and / or portable equipment are to be used along side of your mixer, can they be moved
easily to and from your mixer?

USER FRIENDLY SWING RING SAFETY GUARD

Your SRM12 mixer features a two part safety guard. The Swing Ring Safety Guard is easily removed
and installed, as well as dishwasher safe. It conveniently swings out of the way without having to be
removed to place or sample ingredients in the bowl. Only one side of the guard needs to be open when
adding ingredients. This two-piece design handles and fits conveniently in your sink or dishwasher. It
also provides a clear view of the product throughout the mixing cycle.

This mixer will not operate unless the Swing Ring Safety Guard is properly engaged.
The guards activate safety switches that enable the mixer to operate only when the guards are closed.
These switches protect against accidental operation of the mixer when the guards are open or
removed from the mixer. The mixer will automatically stop if the guard is opened. An additional
switch in the bowl lift automatically stops the mixer if the bowl is lowered from the “up” (mixing)
position.

To install the Swing Ring Safety Guard, insert the pointed end of the rod at the rear of the guard into
the lower mounting bracket on the mixer housing. Then insert the top end of the rod into the upper
bracket by aligning the groove in the rod with the slot in the bracket. Press the rod in and allow it to drop
down into position. Swing the two halves of the guard forward. Magnets located on the transmission will
hold the guards in position. When the guard is properly closed, the switches will be activated and the
mixer can be operated.

To remove the guard, simply reverse the installation procedure. Grip the two halves of the guard and
pull it open. Use an upward motion to release each half of the guard from the bracket on the machine
body.

To open the guard for access to the bowl, first turn the mixer off by pushing the red “Stop” push-

button. Pull open the two halves of the guard and swing one or both guards outward. It is not
necessary to remove the. Close the guards and press the green “Start” push-button to resume mixing
operations.

CLEANING YOUR MIXER

Consistent use of the following procedures will ensure that your mixer is in optimum operating
condition.

• Warning: disconnect the power supply cord before cleaning.

x Wash the body of the mixer, the bowl support, and the beater shaft with warm water and mild

soap.

x Avoid excess water in the area of the safety switches that protrude from the housing where the
x Swing Ring Safety Guard is mounted.

x Do not rinse the mixer with a hose.
x Do not use abrasive pads to wash the mixer.
x Dry the mixer thoroughly with a soft cloth.

x Wash the bowl and beater immediately after use. If an egg mixture or flour batter have been

used, rinse the bowl and beater with cold water before washing with hot water.

x Wash the Swing Ring Safety Guard in the same manner, or in a dishwasher.

x Dry bowls and beaters and the Swing Ring Safety Guard thoroughly.

OPERATOR’S PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

For best long-term performance, operators should follow these simple practices:

x Lightly lubricate the beater head shaft after washing with a food grade lubricant.
x Do not cover the mixer with a plastic bag, as this traps hum

idity inside the mixer.

x If the electrical supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced with an approved cord or

assembly available from Univex directly or from a Univex service agent.

x Do not overload the mixer.

o Overloading is the #1 cause of mixer failure.

x Keep the mixer properly lubricated.

o Lack of lubrication is the #2 cause of mixer failure.
