Troubleshooting
Mixer does not turn on
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the tilt-head is fully locked in the down position; the safety lock prevents operation if the head is raised.
Ingredients are not mixing evenly
Verify that the correct accessory is being used for the task. Ensure the bowl is correctly seated and the attachment reaches the bottom of the bowl. Adjust the speed setting as needed; planetary rotation should cover the bowl's surface.
Motor sounds strained or overheats
Reduce the mixing speed or take a short break to allow the motor to cool. Avoid overloading the bowl with excessive amounts of ingredients, especially for heavy doughs. Consult the manual for maximum capacity guidelines.
Accessories do not attach or function correctly
Ensure the correct accessory is aligned properly with the accessory shaft and pushed in fully until it clicks into place. If using optional attachments, confirm they are compatible with the SMF05 model.
