Care & Cleaning
Motor head and mixer base
Do not wash or immerse the mixer motor
head or mixer base in water. Do not allow
water or other liquids to enter the gear
system, as this may result in damage.
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth then dry
thoroughly. Wipe any excess food particles
from the power cord.
Cleaning agents
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
cleaners on the mixing bowl, beater, dough
hook or whisk, as they may scratch the
surface. Use only warm soapy water with a
soft cloth.
Also do not soak attachments for extended
periods of time, for example several hours or
overnight, as this may damage the finish.
Bowl and attachments
Wash the bowl and attachments (scraper
beater, whisk and dough hook) with warm
soapy water and a soft cloth or a soft
bristled brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Avoid abrasive scouring pads or cleaners,
as they may damage the surfaces.
Dishwasher
Glass bowl, scraper beater, dough hook and
whisk can be washed in the dishwasher on a
standard wash cycle.
Place scraper beater on the top shelf only.
Storage
Store your mixer on the kitchen bench,
or upright in an accessible cupboard.
Always ensure the speed control slider is in
the 0 (OFF) position, the mixer is off at the
wall, and the power cord is unplugged.
Store the mixing bowl locked into the
bowl recess.
Place the attachments inside the mixing
bowl and lower the mixer head into the
horizontal (closed) position.
Do not take off the motor head for
any purpose.
