MIXER TIPS

Agitator Clearance

Due to variations in bowls and agitators, it is RECOMMENDED that the agitator clearance be checked and
adjusted if necessary with every bowl or agitator change. The instructions below are a beginner's guide to doing
this adjustment and are not intended to be complete.

Lower the bowl lift to its bottom stop. Position the bowl square alignment bracket on the back; the alignment pins
in the bowl lift fit into the alignment holes of the bowl. Raise the bowl yoke until the bowl is seated. Lock the bowl
in place by rotating the bowl clamps over the ears of the bowl.

With the bowl in place and the lift at its bottom stop, push the agitator shank up on the shaft and turn clockwise
until the drive pin of the shaft latches in the L-shape slot of the agitator shank.

Mixer Speeds

SPeeD #1 (Low) is for heavy mixtures like dough, heavy batters and potatoes.
SPeeD #2 (Medium – Low) is for mixing cake batters, mashing potatoes and for developing dough.
SPeeD #3 (Medium – High) is for the maximum incorporation of air into light batches. The “D” whip is used for
whipping cream, beating egg whites, mixing; light icings, meringues and whipping.
SPeeD #4 (High) is for accelerated and maximum air incorporation into light batches.
