Caring For Your Mixer Cleaning Your Mixer To clean the mixer, turn it OFF and unplug it from the outlet. Wipe the mixer head, stand, bowl locking plate and unit base with a damp cloth, then dry. DO NOT FULLY IMMERSE THE STAND MIXER IN WATER. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of the mixer. Mixing Bowl is safe for cleaning in an automatic dishwasher. Beater, whisk and dough hooks are safest in top rack ONLY. For best results hand wash with hot, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Storing Your Mixer Store the mixer in a dry location, such as on a countertop or table top, or in a closet or cupboard. DO NOT store the beaters on the shaft, instead, place the dough hooks and other attachments in the mixing bowl. Store the bowl on the locking plate. Maintenance The motor of your stand mixer has been carefully lubricated at the factory and does not require any additional lubricant. Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance should be necessary. For servicing or repairs please contact Consumer Services for assistance.
