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:

Tilt-Head models

•Unplug mixer.

•Lift motor head.

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

•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.

Bowl-Lift models

•Unplug mixer.

•Place bowl lift handle in down position.

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

•Make adjustments with flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl.

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.
