Warm Tips about Stop Working
The Vospeed Stand Mixer has a safety protection function that prevents hazards from developing in the event of a fault. If the machine stops automatically during use, please unplug the power, turn the knob to "0", wait for 20-30 minutes before plugging in.

Finally, turn the knob to the "0" position. Overloading or overheating can cause damage if higher speeds are used too quickly.
It is recommended to use the machine for no more than ten minutes each time. With heavy mixtures, do not operate the machine for more than six minutes, and then allow it to cool down for a further ten minutes.
