- Top-Notch Safety: The Santosafe lock is fantastic; the motor won't start unless it's properly engaged.
- Basic Attachments: Comes with the essentials, but you may need to source specialist tools separately.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Tearoom in Bakewell, Derbyshire, needed to replace its ageing, noisy stand mixer. With a tiny kitchen, they required a compact unit that could still handle the daily demands of scone and cake batter production without causing a racket during opening hours.
"The Santos mixer has been a revelation. It's so much quieter, and the mix consistency is spot on every single time. Our scones have never been better, and the secure locking lid means no more flour clouds dusting the entire prep station!"
Robert Davies – Owner
The move has helped them reduce prep time on their best-selling items by 15%, allowing them to introduce a new 'Cake of the Day' without adding stress to the kitchen workflow.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a completely flat, stable, and non-slip countertop for the mixer to sit on.
- Before first use, wash the bowl and any attachments in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Plug into a suitable socket and run the mixer for a few seconds on low speed without any ingredients to ensure everything is working correctly.
- Familiarise yourself with the Santosafe® locking system – practice locking the bowl and lid into place.
Keeping It Going
- Always unplug the machine before cleaning or removing attachments.
- Clean the bowl and attachments immediately after each use to prevent ingredients from drying on.
- Wipe down the main body of the mixer with a damp cloth – never submerge the unit in water.
- Periodically check that the locking mechanisms are clean and free from food debris to ensure they engage properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this mixer suitable for kneading bread dough?
A: Yes, it's designed for small-batch doughs. Its powerful motor can handle denser mixes, making it ideal for artisan bread, pizza bases, and scones.
Q: How noisy is the Santos DN989 stand mixer during operation?
A: It's designed with a 'Silent Coupling System', making it significantly quieter than many comparable commercial mixers, which is a big plus in open or smaller kitchens.
Q: Is the 4-litre bowl dishwasher safe?
A: The bowl is made from tough polycarbonate, which is generally suitable for commercial dishwashers. However, we always recommend checking the user manual for specific temperature guidelines to prolong its life.
Q: Can I add ingredients while the machine is running?
A: Absolutely. The removable lid has a small opening specifically for adding ingredients like oil, water, or flour mid-mix without having to stop the machine.
Q: How do you operate the variable speed?
A: There is a simple dial on the front of the unit. You can adjust the speed smoothly from low to high, even while the mixer is running, for complete control.
Q: What attachments are included?
A: Standard models typically come with the essential tools for mixing and whipping. Please check the 'What's in the Box' section for the exact contents of this package.
Q: Is the polycarbonate bowl likely to crack or stain?
A: Co-Polyester / Polycarbonate is chosen for its high impact resistance and durability, making it far less likely to crack than standard plastic. It's also non-porous and resistant to staining from common food ingredients.
Q: How heavy is the unit to move for cleaning?
A: The unit is designed to be stable but manageable. While the listed weight is for the bowl, the entire machine is built to be a sturdy, yet not immovable, countertop appliance.

Ever had a mixer start accidentally, sending ingredients flying? The Santosafe® Locking System is designed to make that a thing of the past. It’s not just a lid that sits on top; it's a clever, integrated safety feature. The machine simply will not power on unless both the bowl is twisted and locked securely into the base, and the lid is correctly fitted and locked in place. Think of it like the safety lock on a car door – the engine won't go until you're safely buckled in. This simple, foolproof system protects your staff, prevents accidents, and stops costly, time-consuming messes before they can even happen. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference in a fast-paced professional kitchen.
