Hi TCMARTIN. This should be pretty easy to do by yourself
the instructions for adjusting your beater to bowl clearance is in your Owners Manual. I you don’t have the original manual you can
easily download a PDF version of your Owners Manual from the KA website: (http://www.kitchenaid.com/flash.cmd?/#/page/home).
Click
on Customer Care>Locate Manuals&
Guides> and enter the 6 character model number, in your case K$45SSW and
select the file listed for your model that
appears under Owners Manuals (2): K45SSWH-0.pdf (2730.37 KB)
and save that file to your PC. Turn to
Page 13 and you will find the instructions for adjusting the mixer head
height. I have extracted the
instructions below:
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 hits the bottom of the
bowl or is too far away from the bowl, clearance
Tilt-Head
models
• Unplug mixer.
• Lift motor head.
• Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY counter clockwise (left) to raise flat beater or
clockwise (right) to lower flat beater.
• Make adjustment with flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl.
If you over adjust the screw, the bowl lock lever may not lock into place.
I hope this helps! – Howard,
