The mixer is fitted with the following safety features designed to protect the user and machine against injury or damage:
- Safety Guard: The safety guard must be closed completely in order to operate. If the safety guard is not closed properly the mixer will not start. Also, if the safety guard is opened during operation the mixer will switch off automatically. To restart the mixer, the safety guard must be closed again.
ATTENTION! Never try to put your hands through the safety guard while the mixer is operational.
- Bowl Lift – The mixing bowl must be in the fully lifted position in order to operate. If the bowl is not lifted properly the mixer will not start and if the bowl is lowered during use the mixer will switch off automatically. To restart the mixer, the bowl must be lifted again.
ATTENTION! Never try to remove the mixing bowl while the mixer is operational
- Overheat Protection – The motor is fitted with a safety shut off device which will automatically turn off the machine if the temperature of the motor exceeds the manufacturers recommended operating limits. If this happens then the machine should be left off for a minimum of 60 minutes in order to allow the motor to cool down. After the cool down period then the user can continue use of the machine.
- Overload Protection – The machine is fitted with an overload protection switch which will trip if the batch size being mixed is too heavy. If this happens then reduce the batch size.
