CLEANING

WARNING Disconnect the electrical power to the mixer and follow lockout / tagout procedures.

New mixer bowls and accessories (beaters, whips, and dough arms) should be thoroughly washed with hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or vinegar solution and thoroughly rinsed with clear water before being used. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.

The mixer should be thoroughly cleaned daily. DO NOT use a hose to clean the mixer; it should be washed with a clean, damp cloth. The base allows ample room for cleaning under the mixer.

The drip cup and apron (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) are secured with screws and should be removed periodically and wiped clean.

For cleaning the wire cage refer to the Wire Cage section.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING Disconnect the electrical power to the mixer and follow lockout / tagout procedures.

LUBRICATION

Slideways

Fig. 13

The sideways (Fig. 13) should be lubricated approximately twice a year. To reach these areas, fully lower the bowl support.

For 12-Qt and 20-Qt remove the apron (Fig. 2) which is secured by screws. Wipe a thin coat of Lubriplate 630AA on the bowl pad area of the bowl support on each sidewalk (Fig. 13). Install the apron.

For 30-Qt and 40-Qt wipe a thin coat of Lubriplate 630AA on the bowl pad area of the bowl support and on each sidewalk (Fig. 13).

Planetary Seal

Occasionally, the planetary seal (Fig. 13) may become dry and begin to squeak. To correct this, work a little lubrication (mineral oil) under the lip of the seal.

ADJUSTMENTS

Agitator Clearance

The agitator clearance should be checked periodically. The agitator must not touch the bowl, and the maximum clearance between the bottom of the bowl and the B flat beater is 1/8 (3 mm); the maximum clearance between the bottom of the bowl and the ED dough arm is 5/16 (8 mm).

Install a bowl and agitator (e.g., beater). If the bowl and beater come into contact before the bowl support reaches the fully raised (locked) position, adjust the stop screw. Refer to Adjust the Bowl/Agitator Clearance section below.

Measure Clearance

Pour enough flour in the bowl to cover the bottom of the bowl where the beater travels. With the bowl fully raised (beater should not touch the bottom of the bowl), briefly run the mixer at the lowest speed.

Turn off the mixer, disconnect the electrical power supply, and measure the depth of flour where the beater has traced a path. This measurement should be taken at several points around the bowl to ensure accuracy.

Adjust the Bowl/Agitator Clearance

12-Quart and 20-Quart Mixers

• Remove the apron (Fig. 2) by unscrewing the screws.
• Adjust the clearance by moving the stop screws (Fig. 14) counterclockwise to increase the clearance or clockwise to decrease the clearance.
  After the adjustments are made, replace the apron and secure it with the screws.
• Carefully raise and lower the bowl support several times to check the adjustment.
• Reconnect the electrical power supply.

Stop Screws
Fig. 14

30-Quart and 40-Quart Mixers

• Turn the stop screws counterclockwise to decrease the clearance or clockwise to increase the clearance (Fig. 15).
• Carefully raise and lower the bowl several times to check the adjustment.
• Reconnect the electrical power supply.
