Beater To Bowl Clearance; Placing/Removing The Pouring Shield - KitchenAid 5K45 Series Manual

USING THE STAND MIXER

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.
Turn speed control to "0". Unplug

Stand Mixer.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike on the bottom or side
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 whip may wear.

PLACING/REMOVING THE POURING SHIELD*

To place pouring shield: Turn speed
control to "0". Unplug Stand Mixer.
Attach your chosen accessory. See
1
the "Attaching/removing the flat
beater, Flex Edge beater, wire whip,
or dough hook" section.
*Included with select models only. Also available as an optional accessory.
Lift motor head. Turn screw slightly
counterclockwise (left) to raise flat
beater or clockwise (right) to lower
flat beater. Make adjustment with
2
flat beater, so it just clears surface
of bowl. If you overadjust the screw,
the bowl lock lever may not lock
into place.
From the front of the Stand Mixer,
slide the pouring shield over the
2
bowl until the shield is centred. The
bottom rim of the shield should fit
within the bowl.
