When making clearance adjustments to bowl lift models, it is important to make sure that your mixing bowl is secured into the bowl clip, located at the back of the neck of your mixer. When placing the bowl on the arms of your mixer, please press firmly on the rim of the bowl at the 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock position until you hear the bowl snap into the clip. Until your bowl is secured, proper adjustment to your mixer cannot be made.

To determine if the clearance is at the correct level, place a dime in the bottom of the mixer bowl, insert the FLAT beater, and turn the mixer to “Stir” speed. The beater should just graze the dime and move it approximately 3/4 “ each time it goes around the bowl. If the beater does not touch the dime, the clearance is too high. If the beater has great difficulty pushing the dime around the bottom of the bowl, the clearance is too low.

The clearance may be adjusted with the screw that is located under the head of the mixer. To lower the beater, turn the screw SLIGHTLY (1/4 turn) clockwise or right. To raise the beater, turn the screw SLIGHTLY (1/4 turn) counter clockwise or left.

Adjustment should be made only with the FLAT beater in place. If the clearance is correct for the flat beater, it will be correct for the dough hook and wire whip, as well. You may wish to refer to your Recipe & Instruction Book for specific instructions. This adjustment should correct the problem you are experiencing.
