How to Troubleshoot a Cuisinart Stand Mixer

Turn the nut on the top of an accessory counter-clockwise with a wrench to adjust the height if the accessory hits the bottom of the bowl or is too high to mix the ingredients near the bottom of the bowl. Raise the head on the stand mixer and hold the accessory in the desired position. Turn the nut clockwise to tighten it.

Turn the stand mixer off and unplug it if it shuts down during use. The overload protection has been triggered. Remove some of the ingredients and wait five minutes before plugging the mixer in again. Turn it on and reset the speed. If it does not start, unplug it and wait five to 10 minutes before plugging it in again.

Unplug the stand mixer immediately and discontinue use if the unit sparks or smokes. Have the unit serviced.
