As with any electrical equipment there are always going to be some things you'll want to avoid and some steps that you'll want to do often to keep your mixer in tip-top shape. Below we have outlined some simple Do's and Don'ts that should be followed when using your Dynamic mixer. Of course, some models will differ in some features and methods of care.

Do

• Turn on the mixer once it is submersed
• Make sure the mixer bell and blade is submersed when operating
Submerging the mixer end provides resistance against the blade and motor. This stops the motor from spinning to fast and damaging the seals which help maintain a smooth operation.
• Move the mixer with a stirring motion while using
This will help to more evenly and quickly mix/chop your product.
• Clean your mixer after every use following proper cleaning and maintenance procedure
• Check the motor brushes and cutter blade annually for signs of wear and possible replacement
• Store your mixer using the proper wall-mount bracket

Don't

• Take the machine or motor apart to clean it
Simply immerse the shaft in a bucket containing a mild soap and water mixture and turn on the mixer, using it like your normally would, for 30 seconds. Once finished, turn off and unplug the mixer and wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Run the mixer longer than 5-7 minute intervals.
Keeping the motor cool is important. Using the mixer for 5-7 minutes and then allowing it to have the same amount of resting time will ensure the motor does not overheat.
• Leave the mixer unattended while running
• Set the mixer on the bottom of the pot while mixing.
Always allow for 2" of clearance between the bottom of the mixer bell and the bottom of the pot.

One thing that is important to note is that certain uses may require a larger mixer. For instance, refried beans have a very dense texture. It is advised to use a larger-than-normally-needed mixer to lessen the strain on the motor. This will ensure long motor life and a more consistent product.
