The Speed Control Lever does not move smoothly or easily:	To move the Speed Control Lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.
If your Stand Mixer should fail to operate, please check the following:	Is the Stand Mixer plugged in?
	Is the fuse in the circuit to the Stand Mixer in working order? If you have a Circuit Breaker Box, be sure the circuit is closed.
	Turn off the Stand Mixer for 10-15 seconds, then turn it back on. If the Stand Mixer still does not start, allow it to cool for 30 minutes before turning it back on.

Note: If the problem cannot be corrected, See the "Warranty and Service" section. Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
