USE AND CARE TIPS
Adjusting Beater to Bowl: The Food Preparer is adjusted at the fac-
tory so that the Beater just clears the bottom of the Bowl. Dough
Hook on the K-45 and K5-A is shorter than the Flat Beater. If for any
reason the Beater strikes the bottom of the Bowl or is too far away
from the Bowl, clearance can be corrected as follows:
Model 4-C—To raise Beater, turn top screw at rear of mixer pedestal
(arrow) to right. To lower the Beater, turn screw to left. Adjust
Beater level so it will just clear lower inner surface of Bowl.
Model K-45—Lift Motor Head—Turn the screw (arrow) slightly to the
left to raise, and to the right to lower the Beater. Adjustment should
be made with Flat Beater so it will just clear lower inner surface of
Bowl.
Model K5-A—Adjustment seldom required but when necessary
should be done by an authorized KitchenAid servicing outlet.
