Cleaning and Service Tips

Most of the problems that occur with the 3260 mixer motor are due to inadequate cleaning of
the mixing blade assembly. If the blade assembly becomes contaminated with cement, the
assembly will bind and cause the motor to over heat. The blending assembly, mixing cup
and mixer base should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. As long as the cement doesn't
set up, the blending assembly, mixing cup and mixer base can be washed with soapy water
using Dishwashing liquid. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.
Blending Assembly (if it is necessary to remove from cup):
• Remove from mixing cup. NOTE: Blades are sharp. Handle with care.
• Wash using soapy water.
• Ensure all cement has been removed.
• Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.
Mixing Cup:
• Remove mixing cup from mixer base.
• Remove lid.
• Wash lid and mixing cup using soapy water. NOTE: If Blending Assembly hasn't
been removed, the blades are sharp. Handle with care.
• Ensure all cement has been removed.
• Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.
Mixing Base:
• Unplug power cord.
• Remove mixing cup from mixer base.
• Wipe down exterior surfaces of mixer base with soft cloths or sponges dampened with
soapy water. Prevent liquid from running into mixer base.
• Allow mixer base to air-dry before using.
