FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question:

   Why is my stand mixer not working?

Answer:  

The stand mixer may not be plugged in and switched on, or the speed has 

not been selected. Check the stand mixer is plugged in and switched on, the 

power button on the LED control panel should be illuminated and the arm 

of the stand mixer is down. Press the power button to illuminate the LED 

control panel and increase the speed to 1 and then the start/pause button 

to check. Check that the attachments and splatter guard are properly fitted, 

so that the arm is fully tilted down, or the stand mixer will not work.

Question:

  Why is the beater attachment struggling to rotate?

Answer:

The mixture is too thick or you have added too many ingredients to the 

bowl, add more liquid. If your recipe states otherwise, your mixture cannot 

be mixed with the stand mixer. You may need to soften the ingredients or 

chop them into smaller pieces before further mixing.

Question:

  Why is my mixture splattering over the work surface?

Answer:

The speed may be set too high, select a lower speed.

Make sure the splatter guard is attached to the bowl.

Question:

  Why is the mixing bowl making a noise when mixing?

Answer:

The mixing bowl may not be located properly, check that is is locked 

correctly into place. The attachment might not be correct attached.

Question: 

  Why is the stand mixer moving across the worksurface when in use?

Answer:

Check that all the anti-slip suction feet are in position and that the appliance 

is on a dry, level surface.

HINTS AND TIPS

•  For best results, add liquids to your mixture first.
•  Use the splatter guard when mixing flour and liquid, to prevent splattering and 

flour dusting. 

• 

DO NOT

 use the stand mixer with very heavy ingredients or the motor may overheat. 

If the appliance seems to be struggling to mix, switch off and unplug the appliance at 

the socket and reduce the amount of ingredients in the bowl.
