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

PRODUCT ASSEMBLY

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 clearance easily.
1
Turn Speed Control Lever to off (O).
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.

2
Lift Motor Head. Turn screw slightly
counterclockwise (left) to raise Flat Beater
or clockwise (right) to lower Flat Beater.
Make adjustment with Flat Beater, so it
just clears surface of Bowl. If you
over-adjust the screw, the Bowl lock lever
may not lock into place.
2
From the front of the Stand Mixer,
slide the Pouring Shield* over the
bowl until the shield is centred.
The bottom rim of the shield
should fit within the bowl.
