Mixing; Bowl; Agitator - Berkel FMS10 Owner's/Operator's Manual

This section explains operation of the mixer and how to install bowls and agitators.

BOWL

New mixer bowls and agitators (beaters, whips, spiral dough hook,
ingredient chute and splash cover) should be thoroughly washed with
hot water and a mild soap solution, rinsed with either a mild soda or
vinegar solution, and thoroughly rinsed with clear water before being
put into service. This cleaning procedure should also be followed for
bowls and agitators before whipping egg whites or whole eggs.
The bowl must be installed before the agitator. To install the bowl, fully lower the bowl support (Fig. 3).
Position the bowl so two large holes on bowl tabs are above the bowl pins on the bowl support, then turn
the bowl until the bowl pins stop in two small holes.
10 quart Mixer - Lower the bowl onto the bowl pins then turn clockwise until stopped in locked position.
20 quart Mixer with Twist-Lock Feature- Lower the bowl onto the bowl pins then turn counter-clockwise
until stopped in locked position.
20 quart Mixer with Auto-Lock Feature - Position the bowl so two holes on bowl tabs are above the
bowl pins on the bowl support. Lower the bowl onto the bowl pins. Then lower the bowl lift arm to raise
the bowl. Bowl will be locked when it is raised to mix position.
