Beater To Bowl Clearance; Care And Cleaning - KitchenAid 5K45 Series Use And Care Manual

PRODUCT USAGE

BEATER TO BOWL CLEARANCE

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 clearance easily.
1
Turn Speed Control Lever to "0". Unplug
Stand Mixer.
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.

CARE AND CLEANING

parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
