How To: Adjust the Beater to Bowl Clearance on KitchenAid® Stand Mixers
If your KitchenAid® stand mixer isn’t reaching all the ingredients in the bottom of the bowl, or your flat beater is scraping the bottom, these are clues that the beater to bowl clearance needs to be adjusted. To get the correct clearance, use this time-honored method we call “The Dime Test.”
A dime is one sixteenth of an inch in thickness: the ideal clearance height from beater to bowl. This provides us a visual aid. Attach a flat beater to your mixer and drop the dime into a bowl.
If the dime does not move, then the beater is too high. If the dime moves around continuously, the beater is too low. If the dime is traveling around the bowl, moving about a quarter to a half an inch with each pass of the beater, that means the beater to bowl clearance is correct.
To make the adjustment, raise your stand mixer’s tilt-head. In the hinge where the head and the body of the mixer connect, there will be a large screw. Turn it a quarter turn to the right to lower the beater, or to the left to raise it. On bowl-lift stand mixer models, this screw can be found on the stand mixer’s body behind where the bowl sits, in between the locking arms.

Turn the screw it will set it up or down
Thank you! Mine is too low and is leaving a dark streak in batter. I’ll make the adjustments 😊
This same video was posted by several kitchenaid channels. This one appears to be missing the voice over instructions. Perhaps uploading again with the proper instructions would help.
sooo....which is the good setting?! and which is the bad ones?!
Dumb video. What should the dime be doing? Touched or not touched?

This video is pointless. 1) It doesn't tell you which of the 3 "dimes" you want. 2) it doesn't tell you what screw does what. This video is a complete waste of time.
