Hello and thank you for your message. In preparation of the units travel across the ocean via container ship, a bit of oil is placed on the mixer base hub where the bowl sits. This is the protect the metal on metal connection for travel. A wet cloth should be used to wipe everything down and you will be good to go. There is no oil inside the mixer so no fear of leaking or anything like that. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our US office at: info-us@ankarsrum.com
