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:

Bowl-Lift models
• Unplug mixer.
• Place bowl-lift handle in down position.
• Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY
counterclockwise (left) to raise flat
beater and clockwise (right) to lower
flat beater.
• Make adjustments with flat beater, so it	A
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.
