The KitchenAid 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 the Stand Mixer.
2. Place the bowl lift handle in the down position.
3. Attach the flat beater.
4. Adjust so the flat beater just clears the bottom
surface of the bowl when in the lifted position
by turning the bowl adjustment screw (A – see
Fig. 30) 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 ¼ turn (90 degrees) in either
direction. (The full range of adjustment is ½
turn, or 180 degrees.
5. Place the bowl lift handle in the up position to
check clearance.
6.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.

NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat
beater will not strike 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 flat
beater or whip may wear.
