USING THE STAND MIXER
IMPORTANT: Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so that 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 easily correct the clearance.
NOTE:
When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike on the bottom or sides
of the bowl. If the flat beater or the wire whip is so close that it strikes the bottom of
the bowl, coating may wear off the beater or wires on the whip may wear.
(OPTIONAL) To adjust beater to
bowl clearance: Tilt the motor head
back; then turn the screw slightly
counterclockwise (left) to raise the
beater, or clockwise (right) to lower the
beater. Adjust the beater so that it just
clears the surface of the bowl. If you
over adjust the screw, the bowl lock
lever may not lock into place.
(OPTIONAL) Place the pouring shield*:
Slide the pouring shield* from the
front of the Stand Mixer over the
bowl until the pouring shield* is
centred. The bottom rim of the
pouring shield* fits inside of the
bowl. The pouring chute will be
just to the right of the attachment
hub as you face the Stand Mixer.

and guide the motor head down.

to the lock position. Before mixing,
test lock by attempting to raise the
motor head.
