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. Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect power. 2. Place bowl lift lever in down position. 3. Attach flat beater. 4. Adjust so flat beater just clears bottom surface of bowl when in lifted position by turning screw (A) counterclockwise to raise the bowl and clockwise to lower the bowl. Just a slight turn is all that is required: the screw will not rotate more than 1/4 turn (90 degrees) in either direction. (The full range of adjustment is 1/2 turn, or 180 degrees.) 5. P lace bowl lift lever in up position to check clearance. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary. 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 beater or whip may wear. Raise Bowl Lower Bowl A 12
