Tool Adjustment

Refer to Illustrations O

K-beater & Whisk
The tools are set to the correct height for the bowl supplied in the factory and should not require adjustment. However, if you wish to adjust the tool use a suitable sized spanner:

• TYPE KVC65 = 15mm
• TYPE KVL65 = 19mm

Then follow the instructions below:

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.
4. Using a suitable spanner loosen the nut sufficiently to allow adjustment of the shaft. 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.

Note: Spanner shown is for illustration purpose only.

Dough Tool
This tool is set at the factory and should require no adjustment.

To Fit and Remove Head

Cover
Refer to Illustrations P – U

1. Remove the slow speed and high speed outlet covers.
2. With the retention clip pressed in, lift up the head cover and slide forward.

4. Whilst pressing the retention clip, push the head cover down into place on the mixer head.
5. Replace slow speed and high speed outlet covers.
