PRODUCT USAGE

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 the Stand Mixer to "0" (OFF) and then
unplug.
IMPORTANT: When properly adjusted, the Flat Beater will not strike on the bottom
or sides 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 the whip may wear.

OPERATING THE SPEED CONTROL

1
Plug Stand Mixer into proper electrical
outlet. Always set Speed Control Lever
on lowest speed to start, then gradually
increase speed to avoid splashing
ingredients. See "Speed Control Guide"
chart.

For Bowl Lift: Lower the bowl to the
down position. Turn the screw slightly
counterclockwise (left) to raise the beater,
or clockwise (right) to lower it. Adjust the
beater so that it just clears the surface of
the bowl. Check again the clearance of the
beater to the bowl.
2
Do not scrape bowl while Stand Mixer
is operating. The bowl and beater are
designed to provide thorough mixing
without frequent scraping. Scraping the
bowl once or twice during mixing is usually
sufficient.
