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.

RESET
OFF/0 STIR
Turn the Stand Mixer to “0” (OFF) and then

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.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove an earth prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, re,
or electrical shock.
Problem Solution
If Stand Mixer warms up
during use:
Under heavy loads with extended mixing time periods, you
may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the unit.
This is normal.
If the Stand Mixer stops due
to overload:
Slide the Speed Control Lever to “0” (Off). After a few
minutes, the Stand Mixer will automatically reset. Slide the
Speed Control Lever to the desired speed and continue
mixing.
The Stand Mixer may emit a
pungent odor, especially when
new:
This is common with electric motors.
If the Flat Beater hits the
bowl:
Stop the Stand Mixer. See the “Product Assembly” section
and adjust the Beater to Bowl Clearance.
The Speed Control Lever does
not move smoothly or easily:
To move the Speed Control Lever with ease, lift slightly up
as you move it across the settings in either direction.
If your Stand Mixer should fail
to operate, please check the
following:
Is the Stand Mixer plugged in?
Is the fuse in the circuit to the Stand Mixer in working
order? If you have a circuit breaker box, be sure the circuit
is closed.
Turn off the Stand Mixer for 10-15 seconds, then turn it back
on. If the Stand Mixer still does not start, allow it to cool for
30 minutes before turning it back on.
If the problem cannot be
corrected:
See the “Warranty and Service” section.
Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer; retailers do
not provide service.
