USING THE STAND MIXER
ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER
Lower the motor head: Slide the
locking lever to the unlock position
and guide the motor head down.
Make sure motor head is completely
5
down, then slide the locking lever
to the lock position. Before mixing,
test lock by attempting to raise
motor head.
(OPTIONAL) To adjust beater to bowl
clearance: Tilt the motor head back;
then, using a flat-head screwdriver, turn
the screw slightly counterclockwise (left)
to raise the beater, or clockwise (right)
to lower the beater. Adjust the beater so
that it just clears the surface of the bowl.
If you over adjust the screw, the bowl
lock lever may not lock into place.
IMPORTANT: Your Stand 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, you can easily correct the clearance.
NOTE: 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.

Slide the pouring shield* from the
front of the Stand Mixer over the

The pouring chute will be just to the
right of the attachment hub as you face
the Stand Mixer.
