  • Make sure the appliance is turned to the “0” (off) position before plugging or unplugging the cord from the wall.
  • Refrain from using attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer, as this may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
  • WARNING: Do not use the Mixer on any setting for more than 10 minutes at a time, as the motor may overheat. Allow the motor to cool between consecutive uses.

Dash DCSM250 Stand Mixer-FAQs

How do I use a stand mixer step by step?

Place the stand mixer on a flat surface, attach the correct beater, whisk, or dough hook, and lock the bowl into place. Add ingredients, lower the mixer head, plug it in, and select the desired speed. Start on low, then increase as needed. When done, turn off, unplug, and remove attachments.

How do I set up a stand mixer?

Put the mixer on a stable surface, secure the bowl, attach the accessory you need, and then plug it in.

How do I adjust the head of my stand mixer?

Tilt the head back to insert or remove attachments. If attachments seem too high or too low, adjust the screw near the hinge to correct the clearance.

What are the main attachments used with a stand mixer?

Flat Beater – for cake batter, cookie dough, and mashed potatoes
Whisk – for cream, egg whites, and light batters
Dough Hook – for kneading bread, pizza, and pasta dough

What speed should I use for kneading dough?

Use speed 2 for kneading. Higher speeds can strain the motor or overwork the dough.

How do I remove or change a stand mixer attachment?

Tilt the head back, hold the attachment, twist, and pull it down to release. To insert, push it up and twist until it locks in place.

What can I make with a stand mixer?

It’s perfect for bread, cakes, cookies, frosting, whipped cream, pasta dough, and mashed potatoes.

How do I clean my stand mixer?

Unplug first. Wipe the body with a damp cloth, and wash attachments and the bowl with warm soapy water. Never immerse the motor base in water.

Why is my stand mixer not mixing properly?

The attachment may not be locked in, the bowl might not be seated correctly, or the dough could be too dry. Clearance may also need adjusting if the attachment scrapes or sits too far from the bowl.
