 Stand Mixer will mix 

faster and more thoroughly than most 

other electric stand mixers. Therefore, 

the mixing time in most recipes must 

be adjusted to avoid overbeating. With 

cakes, for example, beating time may be 

half as long as with other stand mixers.

NOTE: 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. Turn Stand Mixer off before 

scraping. The Stand Mixer may warm 

up during use. Under heavy loads with 

extended mixing time, you may not  

be able to comfortably touch the top  

of the Stand Mixer. This is normal.

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.
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. Place 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, coating may wear  

off the beater or wires on whip may wear.
