Full details
The Salter Retro Hand Mixer & Mechanical Scale Set is an ideal choice for home bakers who value both aesthetic appeal and practical kitchen utility. This duo provides a powerful 400W mixer for consistent dough and batter preparation, paired with a classic mechanical scale for reliable ingredient measurement. While the retro pink finish makes it a standout piece on any countertop, users should note that the mechanical scale requires manual calibration rather than the instant digital results found in more modern, high-tech alternatives.

FAQs
Are the beaters dishwasher safe?
While the chrome finish is durable, we recommend hand washing the beaters and dough hooks in warm soapy water to ensure they remain rust-free.
Can I use the scale for liquids?
Yes, you can use the included 2L bowl to weigh liquids, though the scale is primarily designed for solid ingredients measured in grams or kilograms.
Does the mixer come with a storage stand?
No, this set includes the hand mixer, attachments, and the mechanical scale/bowl combo, but not a dedicated storage stand.
What is the maximum weight capacity of the scale?
The mechanical scale has a maximum capacity of 5kg.
Is the mixer corded or cordless?
The Salter Retro Hand Mixer is a corded appliance, ensuring consistent power delivery during extended mixing tasks.
Troubleshooting
Mixer attachments do not click into place
Ensure the mixer is unplugged, then rotate the attachment slightly while inserting until the locking mechanism engages.
Scale dial is not resting at zero
Use the manual adjustment knob located at the base of the scale face to align the needle exactly with the zero mark.
Mixer slows down during heavy mixing
Switch to a lower speed setting to prevent the motor from overheating and to allow the torque to manage the thicker consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your mixer, ensure the attachments are clicked firmly into the designated slots until you hear a mechanical click. For the scale, always place it on a flat, level surface and turn the adjustment dial to zero before adding ingredients. For maintenance, clean the chrome beaters and dough hooks with warm, soapy water; they should be dried immediately to prevent oxidation. The 2L bowl is top-rack dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the exterior finish. Never submerge the motor housing of the mixer in water; wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth instead.
