and burnished flat beater in a dishwasher. Do not store beaters on shaft.

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 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	A
	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.
