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.
Raise Guard.
4.
Lower the bowl to the down position.
5.
Turn Beater Height Adjustment Screw slightly counter clockwise (left)
to raise Flat Beater or clockwise (right) to lower Flat Beater.
6.
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.
