Care and Cleaning Bowl, white flat beater and white dough hook may be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly in hot sudsy water and rinse completely before drying. Wire whip, burnished dough hook and burnished flat beater should be hand washed and dried immediately. Do not wash wire whip, burnished dough hook and burnished flat beater in a dishwasher. Do not store beaters on shaft. NOTE: Always be sure to unplug stand mixer before cleaning. Wipe stand mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use household/ commercial cleaners. Do not immerse in water. Wipe off beater shaft frequently, removing any residue that may accumulate. Beater to Bowl Clearance Your stand mixer is adjusted at the factory so that 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, clearance can be corrected as follows: Tilt-Head models • Unplug stand mixer. • Lift motor head. • Turn screw (A) slightly counterclockwise (left) to raise flat beater or clockwise (right) A to lower flat beater. • Make adjustment with flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl. If you overadjust the screw, the bowl lock lever may not lock into place. Bowl-Lift models • Unplug stand mixer. • Place bowl lift handle in down position. • Turn screw (B) slightly counterclockwise (left) to lower the bowl (increased beater clearance) or clockwise (right) to raise the B bowl (reduced beater clearance). • Make adjustments with flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl. NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike on bottom or side of bowl. If beater or wire whip is adjusted too close so that it strikes bottom of bowl, coating may wear off beater or wires may wear through on wire whip. 13
