Beater To Bowl Clearance

Your 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, clearance can be corrected
as follows:
Model 5K45SS, 5KSM90:
• Lift motor head.
• Turn screw (A) slightly to the left to raise
flat beater and to the right to lower flat
beater.
• Make adjustment with flat beater, so it
just clears surface of bowl.
