PRODUCT ASSEMBLY
ADJUSTING 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 Beater Height Adjustment Screw
slightly counterclockwise (left) to raise the
Flat Beater; or turn clockwise (right) to
lower the Flat Beater. Adjust so that the
Flat Beater just clears the surface of the
Bowl. If you over adjust the screw, the
Bowl Lift Lever may not lock in 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 Wire Whip is so close that it strikes the bottom of the
bowl, the coating may wear off the Flat Beater (for coated beaters) or wires on the Wire
Whip may wear.
