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.
1. Unplug Stand Mixer.
2. Place bowl-lift handle in down
position.
3. Attach flat beater.
4. Adjust so flat beater just clears
bottom surface of bowl when in
lifted position by turning screw (A)
counterclockwise to raise the bowl
and clockwise to lower the bowl.
Just a slight turn is all that is
required: the screw will not rotate
more than
1
⁄
4
turn (90 degrees) in
either direction. (The full range of
adjustment is
1
⁄
2
turn, or 180
degrees.)
5. Place bowl-lift handle in up
position to check clearance.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
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,
coating may wear off the beater or
wires on whip may wear.
