Beater To Bowl Clearance
Your 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 strikes the bottom of the bowl, or
is too far away from the bowl, clearance
can be corrected as follows:
Model 5K45SS:
• Lift motor head.
• Turn screw (A) slightly to the left to
raise flat beater and to the right to
lower flat beater.
• Make adjustment with flat beater, so it
just clears surface of bowl.

• Place bowl lift handle in
down position.
• Turn screw (B) slightly
to the left to raise flat
beater and to the right
to lower flat beater.
• Make adjustments with
flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl.
NOTE: Flat beater must not strike on bottom
or side of bowl when properly adjusted. If
beater or wire whip is adjusted too close so
that it strikes bottom of bowl, coating may
wear off of beaters or wires may wear through
on wire whip.
Scraping sides of bowl may be necessary
under certain conditions regardless of beater
adjustment. Mixer must be stopped to scrape
bowl or damage to mixer may occur.
Bowl, flat beater and dough hook may
be washed in an automatic dishwasher.
The wire whip and these other basic
accessories can be cleaned thoroughly in
hot sudsy water and rinsed completely
before drying.
Lubrication: Motor bearings are self-
lubricating and should require no further
attention under normal use.
