Care and Cleaning

WARNING

Injury Hazard

Unplug mixer before touching beaters.

Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts or bruises.

Bowl, flat beater and dough hook may be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Or, clean them

thoroughly in hot sudsy water and rinse completely before drying. Wire whip should be hand washed and dried immediately. Do not wash wire whip in a dishwasher.

NOTE: Always be sure to unplug Stand Mixer before cleaning. Wipe Stand Mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use household/commercial cleaners. Do not immerse in water. Wipe off beater shaft frequently, removing any residue that may accumulate.

Beater To Bowl Clearance

Your 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, clearance can be corrected as follows:

1. Turn speed control to OFF.

2. Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect power.

3. Unlock motor head.

4. Tilt motor head back and lock.

5.Remove bowl, beater, dough hook, or wire whip if attached.

6. Turn screw (A) slightly

 

A

counterclockwise (left) to raise the

 

 

flat beater, or clockwise (right) to

 

 

lower flat beater.

 

 

7. Attach flat beater and bowl.

 

 

8. Unlock motor head and lower.

 

 

9. Beater should just clear surface of

 

 

bowl. If it does not, repeat steps

 

 

4-7.

 

 

NOTE: If you over adjust the screw,

 

 

the bowl lock lever may not lock into

 

 

place.

 

 

NOTE: When properly adjusted, the

 

 

flat beater will not strike on bottom

 

 

or side of bowl. If beater or wire whip

 

 

is adjusted too close so that it strikes

 

 

bottom of bowl, coating may wear

 

 

off beater or wires may wear through

 

 

on wire whip.
