certain conditions regardless of beater
adjustment. Mixer must be stopped to scrape
bowl or damage to mixer may occur.
Bowl, flat beater and dough hook may be
washed in an automatic dishwasher. The
wire whip and these other basic accessories
can be cleaned thoroughly in hot sudsy
water and rinsed completely before drying.
Lubrication:
Motor bearings are self-
lubricating and should require no further
attention under normal use.
