ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat
beater will not strike on the bottom or
side of the bowl. If the flat beater or the
wire whip is so close that it strikes the
bottom of the bowl, the coating may wear
off the flat beater (for coated beaters) or
wires on the wire whip may wear.
Scraping sides of bowl may be necessary
under certain conditions regardless of
beater adjustment. The Stand Mixer must
be stopped to scrape bowl or damage to
Stand Mixer may occur.
Adjusting beater to bowl clearance
Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so the flat beater just clears the bottom of the
bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of the bowl or is too far away from
the bowl, you can correct the clearance easily.
2
Lower the bowl to the down position.
3
Turn beater height adjustment screw (A)
slightly counterclockwise (left) to raise
the flat beater; or turn clockwise (right)
to lower the flat beater. Adjust so that
the flat beater just clears the surface of
the bowl. If you over adjust the screw,
the bowl lift lever may not lock in place.
1
Turn speed control to “0” (OFF), and
unplug Stand Mixer.
