Stand Mixer Power & Safety: What to Know

Power ratings can be misleading—torque matters more than raw watts for heavy doughs. The 1100W motor on a 20L unit, paired with proper gear reduction, delivers steady torque at low RPM to knead dense dough without overheating.

Safety first: always lock the bowl, secure the guard, and start on the lowest speed. Add ingredients gradually to avoid flour plumes and splashing. Never reach into the bowl while the mixer is running—use the dedicated stop button and wait for a full stop.

Protection tips: avoid continuous overloads below 50% hydration without rest intervals; wipe down the exterior after each use; keep vents clear; and schedule periodic checks on belts/gears according to the service manual.
