Assemble and Adjust a Bowl-Lift Mixer

How to Assemble and Adjust a KitchenAid Bowl-Lift Mixer

Attach the Bowl

  1. Be sure the speed control is OFF, and the stand mixer is unplugged.
  2. Place the bowl-lift handle in the down position.
  3. Fit bowl supports over the locating pins.
  4. Press down on the back of the bowl until the bowl pin snaps into the spring latch. You should hear it "snap" into place. If you do not hear the snap, the bowl may appear level, but it will not be locked into place, and the beater will hit the sides of the bowl.

Raise the bowl before mixing.
