USING THE STAND MIXER
IMPORTANT: 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, you can easily correct the
clearance.
NOTE: 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.
ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER
(OPTIONAL) To adjust beater to
bowl clearance: Tilt the motor head
back; then turn the screw slightly
counterclockwise (left) to raise the
beater, or clockwise (right) to lower the
beater. Adjust the beater so that it just
clears the surface of the bowl. If you
over-adjust the screw, the bowl lock
lever may not lock into place.
(OPTIONAL) Place the pouring shield*:
Slide the pouring shield* from the
front of the Stand Mixer over the bowl
until the pouring shield* is centered.
The bottom rim of the pouring shield*
fits inside of the bowl. The pouring
chute will be just to the right of the
attachment hub as you face the
Stand Mixer.
5
Lower the motor head: Slide the
locking lever to the unlock position
and guide the motor head down.
Make sure motor head is completely
down, then slide the locking lever
to the lock position. Before mixing,
test lock by attempting to raise
motor head.

NOTE: The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended
mixing time, the top of the unit may become hot. This is normal.

Plug the Stand Mixer into a
grounded 3 prong outlet. Always
set the speed control lever on
lowest speed to start, then gradually
increase speed to avoid splashing
ingredients. See the “Speed control
guide” to select the best speed for
your recipe.

to provide thorough mixing without
frequent scraping. Scraping the
bowl once or twice during mixing
is usually sufficient.

with ease, lift slightly up as you move it
across the settings in either direction.
