Product Usage - KitchenAid 5KSM55 Owner's Manual

PRODUCT ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
6.
Test the Beater to Bowl Clearance: Turn Stand Mixer ON and test each speed, making
sure the beater does not touch the Bowl during operation. If the Beater is too far away from
the bottom or is hitting the Bowl, proceed to next step to make adjustments.
7.
(OPTIONAL) To adjust Beater to Bowl Clearance: Lower the Bowl to the down position.
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 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.

PRODUCT USAGE

Plug the Stand Mixer into an earthed outlet. Start with lower speed to avoid splashing and
increase it gradually. Refer to the "Speed Control Guide".

Turn the Stand Mixer to "0" (OFF) and unplug.
2.
Attach Bowl and Flat Beater, Dough Hook, or Wire Whip to the mixer. Attach Bowl and
raise into locked position.

face the Mixer. Press lightly so that the tabs snap the shield onto the Bowl.
