clean them.

Clean the surface of the electric mixer. After
unplugging the mixer, use a damp washcloth or sponge dipped in soapy water to
wipe down the body of the mixer. Make sure to wring out the washcloth or sponge
thoroughly before wiping the mixer to avoid getting water into the mixer’s
motor.

Turn over the mixer and clean underneath the base
and below the mixing arm. Scrub the attachment ports, making sure to look for
food trapped just inside the ports. Clean around the mixer’s buttons. If tiny
bits of food have accumulated there, use a toothpick to remove them.

Dry the attachments immediately after washing if
you are washing them by hand. Place attachments in a drawer or cabinet to avoid
losing any crucial components. Put the hand mixer or the stand mixer and bowl
in a safe place until you are ready to use them again.
