USING THE STAND MIXER
IMPORTANT: Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so that the flat beater jus\
t 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, using a flat-head screwdriver, 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 overadjust 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 until it is all the way down, then slide the locking lever to the lock position. Before mixing, test lock by attempting to raise motor head.

USING THE STAND MIXER
OPERATING THE STAND MIXER
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.
1
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.
2
Do not scrape the bowl while the Stand Mixer is operating. The bowl and beaters are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient.
NOTE: To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.
