1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Tool Adjustment
Refer to Illustrations
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 KVC85 = 15mm TYPE KVL85 = 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 purposes only.
