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.

1. Turn Speed Control Lever to off (0). Unplug Stand Mixer.
2. Lift Motor Head. Turn screw slightly counterclockwise [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 overadjust the screw, the locking 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.

*Also available as an optional accessory.
