Adjusting Your Beater To Bowl Clearance - KitchenAid 5KSM7580 Instructions Manual

Setting up your Stand Mixer

Adjusting your 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 the clearance easily.
1. T urn speed control to "0" (OFF).
2. Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect power.
3. Lower the bowl to the down position.
4. Turn Beater Height Adjustment Screw (A) slightly counter clockwise (left)
to raise Flat Beater or clockwise (right) to lower Flat Beater.
5. Make adjustment with Flat Beater, so it just clears surface of the bowl.
If you over adjust the screw, the Bowl Lift 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 Stainless Steel Whip is so close that it
strikes the bottom of the bowl, coating
may wear off the Flat Beater (for coated
beaters) or wires on Stainless Steel Whip
may wear.
Scraping sides of bowl may be necessary
under certain conditions regardless of
beater adjustment. The Stand Mixer must
be stopped to scrape bowl or damage to
mixer may occur.
