Frequently Asked Questions - Swirl 25892 RUSSELL HOBBS

How do I attach the beaters or hooks?

Switch off (0) and unplug the mixer. Align the pips on the shaft with the slots in the drive head, then push into the drive head until it clicks into place. Each beater/hook must go into its specific drive head (Fig. A).

Can I use the mixer for kneading dough?

No, the mixer is intended only for mixing ingredients. Using it for kneading will overload and damage the motor. If the motor labours, add more liquid or switch off and continue by hand.

How do I remove the beaters/hooks?

Switch off and unplug. Shake excess mixture into the bowl. Hold both beaters/hooks to prevent jumping, then press the eject button to release them.

What are the speed settings and when should I use them?

The mixer has speeds 1 to 5, controlled by the speed control. Generally, slow speeds for thick mixes, high speeds for thin mixes. Use turbo button for a burst of high speed. Do not run over 5 minutes continuously.

Can I wash the attachments in the dishwasher?

Yes, the removable parts (beaters, hooks, whisk) are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash in warm soapy water, rinse well, and air dry. Wipe the mixer body with a damp cloth only.

How long is the warranty and how do I extend it?

The standard warranty is 2 years from first retail purchase. To extend by 1 year (total 3 years), register your product online within 28 days of purchase at uk.russellhobbs.com/product-registration.

What should I do if the mixer stops working?

Check the plug fuse and main fuse/circuit breaker. If still not working, consult your retailer or contact Russell Hobbs Customer Service at 0345 658 9700. The product is not user-serviceable.

Can I use the whisk in any drive head?

Yes, the whisk can be fitted into either drive head. However, the beaters and hooks must be inserted into their specific drive heads (refer to the diagram in the manual).

What is the turbo button for?

The turbo button provides a momentary burst of high speed, overriding the speed set by the control. It only works when the motor is already running (set to speed 1-5).

How should I clean the mixer body?

Switch off and unplug. Wipe the outside surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners. Do not use near water basins or bathtubs.
