ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER

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.

1

Turn speed control to “0” (OFF), and

unplug Stand Mixer.

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.

2 Lower the bowl to the down position.

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.
