Electrical Requirement
The Stand Mixer is designed for use with 120
VAC, 60 Hz (240 VAC, 50 Hz International) only.
It has a grounded plug and should not be
modified in any way. Do not use an extension
cord or an adapter with this Stand Mixer.
A short power supply cord is provided (with the
exception of the Commercial unit) to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
service technician install an outlet near the area
where the Stand Mixer will be used.

The service technician will have to test the
performance of the Stand Mixer to identify and
diagnose the problem. Normal electrical testing
techniques, using a volt/ohm meter, are sufficient to
test the Stand Mixer electrical components.
NOTE: Refer to the PROBLEM GUIDE in this manual
while performing any test.
