Assembling the Stand Mixer

Check to be sure that the Stand Mixer is unplugged and the speed control is turned to “0”.

Raise the motor head: Slide the locking lever to the unlock position and lift the motor head. Once lifted, slide the locking lever to the lock position to keep the motor head up.

Attach the bowl: Place the bowl on the bowl clamping plate and gently turn it in a clockwise direction to lock it into place.

Attach any accessory: Slip the accessory onto the beater shaft and press upward as far as possible. Turn the accessory counterclockwise to hook the accessory over the pin on the shaft.

Lower the motor head: Slide the locking lever to the unlock position and guide the motor head down. Ensure the motor head is completely down, then slide the locking lever to the lock position. Before mixing, test the lock by attempting to raise the motor head.

(OPTIONAL) To adjust the 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.

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 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, the coating may wear off the beater, or the wires on the whip may wear.

(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 the bowl. The pouring chute will be just to the right of the attachment hub as you face the Stand Mixer.
