(OPTIONAL) To adjust Beater to Bowl Clearance: Lower the Bowl to the down position.
Locate the screw revealed when the Bowl is lowered.
NOTE: Do not adjust the screw located on the spring latch.
Turn the screw slightly counterclockwise (left) to raise the beater, or clockwise (right) to
lower it. Adjust the beater so that it just clears the surface of the Bowl. Check again the
clearance of the beater to the Bowl.
IMPORTANT: When properly adjusted, the Stainless Steel Flat Beater will not strike on the
bottom or sides 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 the whip may wear.
