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 clearance easily.

Tilt Head Stand Mixers:

1.Turn speed control to “O”.

2.Unplug Stand Mixer.

3.Lift motor head.

4.Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY counter clockwise (left) to raise flat beater or clockwise (right) to lower flat beater.

5.Make adjustment with flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl. 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 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.

Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers:

1.Turn speed control to “O”.

2.Unplug Stand Mixer.

3.Place bowl-lift handle in down position.

4.Attach flat beater.

5.Turn screw (B) SLIGHTLY counter clockwise (left) to raise flat beater or clockwise (right) to lower flat beater.

6.Place bowl-lift handle in up position to check clearance.

7.Repeat steps 5 and 6 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.
