MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is necessary on all machines if they are to remain in good working condition. It is
strongly recommended that this must be carried out by trained technicians from a SPAR appointed
distributor.
ON A REGULAR BASIS
Clean the machine thoroughly after use and lubricate the rods with Vaseline or lubrication oil which the
bowl cradle slides. After clean the beater shaft, please wipe and lightly lubricate the beater shaft with
Vaseline to prevent rusting. (SEE CARE ON YOUR MIXER)
ON AN ANNUAL BASIS
Check that all bolts are tight and bowl guard secure.
▲ It is recommended that any servicing or maintenance work must be carried out by a trained technician or
electrician.
▲ Isolate the mixer from the electricity supply by removing the plug from the socket before cleaning or
servicing.
▲ Isolate the mixer from the electricity supply by removing the plug from the socket after long period of no
