troubleshooting
problem
G
G
The whisk or K-beater knocks against the bottom of the bowl or isn’t
reaching the ingredients in the bottom of the bowl.
Adjust the height using the spanner provided. Here’s how:
ᕢ
ᕡ
solution
1 Unplug the appliance.
2 Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.
3 Lower the mixer head. If the clearance needs to be adjusted, raise the
mixer head and remove the tool.
4 Using the spanner provided loosen the nut ᕡ sufficiently to allow
adjustment of the shaft ᕢ. To lower the tool closer to the bottom of the
bowl, turn the beater shaft anti-clockwise. To raise the tool away from the
bottom of the bowl turn the shaft clockwise.
5 Re-tighten the nut.
6 Fit the tool to the mixer and lower the mixer head. For best performance
the whisk or K-beater should be almost touching the bottom of the
bowl ᕣ.
7 Repeat the above steps as necessary until the tool is set correctly. Once
this is acheived tighten the nut securely.
flexible beater
dough hook
solution
Ideally the flexible beater should be almost touching the bottom of the
bowl but ensure that the flexible beater wing is not bent against the bowl
base as this will cause excessive wear. If necessary adjust as detailed
above.
This tool is set at the factory and should require no adjustment.
ᕣ
problem
The mixer stops during operation.
Your mixer is fitted with an overload protection device and will stop if
G
G
overloaded to protect the machine. If this happens, switch off and
unplug the mixer. Remove some of the ingredients to reduce the load,
and allow the mixer to stand for a few minutes. Plug in and press the
start button. If the mixer does not restart immediately allow to stand for
additional time to allow the mixer to cool down.
