FAQs
What is the capacity of the stainless steel bowl?
The stainless steel bowl has a capacity of 4.7 litres.
Can I put the bowl and beaters in the dishwasher?

What does the 'Soft Start' function do?

Remove the hub cover on the front of the mixer, align the accessory with the connection point, and push it in firmly. Some accessories may require tightening a set screw.

What are the dimensions of the mixer?

Troubleshooting
Mixer won't turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the tilt head is fully locked down. Verify the speed control is not set to '0' or 'Off'.
Beater is hitting the side of the bowl.
Ensure the correct beater attachment is used for the task. Check that the bowl is properly seated on the base and that the tilt head is securely locked. Adjust the beater height if necessary following manufacturer guidelines (often involves a screw on the hinge).
Motor sounds strained or overheats.
Reduce the batch size or mixing time. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended capacity for the ingredients being mixed. Allow the mixer to cool down between long mixing sessions. Check for any blockages around ventilation areas.
Ingredients are not fully incorporated.
Use the Double Flex Edge Beater for better bowl scraping. Ensure the speed is appropriate for the task. If needed, stop the mixer and manually scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
