Cleaning Instructions CARE OF YOUR MIXER CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT OR UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THE MIXER BEFORE CLEANING. The mixer is designed for simple maintenance carried out by operators. It may be necessary from time to time to apply a little Vaseline and oil to the rods on which the bowl cradle slides. If so, use a little food quality lubricant, ensuring that there is no excess oil that could contaminate the food mix. Clean the mixer thoroughly after use. After isolating the machine from the electricity supply, the body should be wiped down with a damp cloth. Do not spray the machine with or immerse it in water. Do not forget to clean the rear of the machine and do not allow the rear vents to become blocked as this may result in overheating. Pay particular attention to the bowl pins and any surrounding areas of the cradle to prevent the accumulation of mix, as this could prevent correct location of the bowl. For the same reason ensure that the beater shaft and each of the sockets on the tools are cleaned thoroughly. The bowl and tools should be washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and dried before being put into storage. Do not wash the agitator s in a dishwasher, as the polished finish will be adversely affected by the dishwashing chemicals. Maintenance ‐ It is recommended that any servicing or maintenance work must be carried out by a trained technician or electrician. CAUTION: ‐ ALWAYS DISCONNECT OR UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THE MIXER BEFORE DOING MAINTENANCE. MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is necessary on all machines if they are to remain in good working condition. It is strongly recommended that all maintenance must be carried out by trained technicians from an 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 cleaning 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* ...
Maintenance GEAR OIL METER NOTE: Oil Meter Indicator is only available for SP‐A80HI, SP‐A80I, SP‐B80HI and SP‐B80I. Use the gear oil to lubricate the mixer and to prolong the life of the mixer.
