1. Unplug the appliance.
2. Raise the mixer head and insert the whisk or beater.
3. Lower the mixer head. If the clearance needs to be adjusted, raise the mixer head and remove the tool. Ideally the whisk and K-beater should be almost touching the bottom of the bowl 1.
4. Using the spanner provided loosen the nut 2 sufficiently to allow adjustment of the shaft 3. To lower the tool closer to the bottom of the bowl, turn the shaft anti-clockwise. To raise the tool away from the bottom of the bowl turn the shaft clockwise.
5. Re-tighten the nut.
6. Fit the tool to the mixer and lower the mixer head. (Check its position see points above).
7. Repeat the above steps as necessary until the tool is set correctly. Once this is achieved tighten the nut securely.

Problem
The mixer stops during operation.

Your mixer is fitted with an overload protection device and will stop if overloaded to protect the machine. If this happens, switch off and unplug the mixer. Remove some of the ingredients to reduce the load, and allow the mixer to stand for a few minutes. Plug in and reselect the speed. If the mixer does not restart immediately allow to stand for additional time.
