Care And Cleaning; Beater To Bowl Clearance - KitchenAid KSM7581 Instructions Manual

Bowl, stainless steel flat beater, wire
whip, and spiral dough hook may be
washed thoroughly with soap and hot
water and rinse completely before drying.
Do not store beaters on shaft.
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. Unplug Stand Mixer.
2. Place bowl lift handle in down
position.
3. Attach flat beater.
4. Adjust so flat beater just clears
bottom surface of bowl when in
lifted position by turning screw (A)
counterclockwise to raise the bowl
and clockwise to lower the bowl.
Just a slight turn is all that is
required: the screw will not rotate
more than 1/4 turn (90 degrees)
in either direction. (The full range
of adjustment is 1/2 turn, or
180 degrees.)
5. Place bowl lift handle in up
position to check clearance.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
