Using the Product

Speed Control Guide

NOTE: The speed control lever can be set between the speed values indicated in the table above to obtain speeds 3, 5, 7, and 9 if finer adjustment is needed. To move the speed control lever easily, lift it slightly when moving it in either direction.

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed speed 2 when preparing yeast dough, as this could damage the stand mixer.

*Included only with select models. Also available as an optional accessory.

Beater to Bowl Clearance

Your stand mixer is factory-set so that the flat beater is just above the bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater touches the bottom of the bowl or is too far from it, you can easily adjust the clearance.

1. Turn the speed control knob to the "0" position. Unplug the stand mixer.
2. Lift the motor head. To raise the flat beater, turn the screw slightly counterclockwise (left). To lower the flat beater, turn the screw clockwise (right). Adjust the flat beater so that it is just above the bowl surface. If the screw is overtightened, the bowl lock lever may not lock into place.

NOTE: With proper adjustment, the flat beater will not hit the bottom or sides of the bowl. If the flat beater or whisk hits the bottom of the bowl, the coating on the beater or the wires of the whisk may wear.

Maintenance and Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Wait for the appliance to cool completely before attaching or removing parts, and before cleaning.

1. Before cleaning, always unplug the stand mixer. Wipe the stand mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use household or commercial cleaning agents. Wipe the beater shaft frequently, removing any accumulated residue. Do not immerse in water.
2. Bowls, pouring shield*, flat beater*, FLEX beater with scraper*, dough beater*, scraper**, and dough hook can be washed on the top rack of a dishwasher. Alternatively, wash them thoroughly in hot soapy water and rinse well before drying. Do not store beaters on the shaft.
3. The whisk can be washed in the dishwasher only for models 5KSM200, 5KSM180, 5KSM185, and 5KSM193. For all other models: wash thoroughly in hot soapy water and rinse well before drying. Do not store whisks on the shaft.
