Check out our other video on how to adjust stand mixer! great alternative! kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaWIuMtyqZfLf6Q.html Always remember to press down on the screwdriver as you turn. The use of pliers to help turn screw can help. W40 overnight or heating the screw can help

I cannot thank you enough for this! Why they don't put this critical info in the users manual is an issue itself. My Cuisinart went from being useless to a key tool in my kitchen. It took a full 1-1/4 turns to get it calibrated properly. It was a tight twist, but rather than a second tool, I used both hands and firmly twisted with the wrist. Thank you again and please keep these informative videos coming!

Same here!!!!! ❤❤

For Cuisinart users who have thr attachment too high/bowl too low: I tried for days to get that screw to turn but I ended up just stripping it. Eventually I realized there is a metal plate the bowl screws into on the bottom. Taking that off and placing small strips of paper stack up inside and screwing the plate back on solved my problems instantly and was much easier and faster.

​@mitchelllevine2023 yeah it does but the screw is easier to turn way easier

Must have to be Superman to move that screw, I didn't want to strip the screw but the screw was so tight i broke my drill bits in the process. I then went on reading comments and noticed one of you were suggesting removing the bottom plate so I did. I added some washers leveled the plate and it worked perfectly! So simple and no damage.

Good to know, thanks. On Amazon people were saying there is no way to adjust the height. But I'm glad I've found your video.

My goodness thank you 🙏. I just purchased my new Cuisinart Mixer and used it for the first time. After unsuccessful results I went to o the Cuisinart reviews and discovered this video on how to adjust it. My husband watched your video and now my mixer has been adjusted perfectly. Thanks so much 😃

I tried everything to turn the screw clockwise, but it wouldn't budge. Then, I turned it counterclockwise and it was surprisingly easy. So, the screw was already turned all the way in, but there was still a gap! I unscrewed the bowl plate, placed 3 nickels with double-sided tape in there, screwed back the plate, and that did the trick.

We couldn't get the screw to budge either. Thanks for the idea to remove the plate below the bowl. Easily removed that plate, added washers & working great! Thank you!

Thanks so much for doing this you are a lifesaver!

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much.

Well, after a bit of frustration I got it adjusted. The first step was to heat the screw with a blow dryer, then I used vise grips on my stubby screw driver and it moved! As it moved some sticky red stuff came out. I assume this is meant to hold the screw firmly (locktite?).

Same I was so frustrated creaming butter and sugar for simple cookies hope this works.

Tried this today and I could not get the screw to budge, even with a ratchet screwdriver. I'm worrying about the slot starting to get stripped. So, instead I tried approaching it another way. Rather than lower the head, I decided to lift the bowl. I removed the metal plate that holds the bowl, put three quarters below it (one in between each screw), and then put the plate back on. It helped. By my calculation, if I tape together a quarter and a nickel it should raise the height so that whisk attachment will scrape a dime in the bowl. The pressure from the plate seems to hold the coins in place.

Using some pliers and screw driver is what did the trick for us, or if you are able to get ratchet with a screw tip. You have to pressure down the screw ( so you wont strip the screw) and turn with force . It appears that it has some thread locker ( if you see on the video the red thing that comes out from around the screw) . Once loose , its easy to turn at any moment, but yes the first turn is the hardest. It wont hurt to use w40 and maybe letting it set in for for a couple of minutes as well. good luck.

Thanks for sharing this important information! Cuisinart is shortsighted for not including this in the instructions.

My mixer head won't lock/stay up when I lift it,how can I fix it?

I think there is a difference with the colors and it’s ease of adjustment. I have both the white and the silver one and the white one was super easy to adjust but the silver one no matter how much I tried it wouldn’t turn

Do you adjust the paddle using a dime as well? but if you do this the whisk will touch the bowl because it’s longer and why is it bad for the whisk to touch the bowl? when you whisk something by hand you touch the bowl, what’s the big deal?

Couldn’t get screw to turn in either direction so I removed the bottom plate I raised it until the screws no longer would reach

Thank you so much! The company hotline said “this is not an issue” - ie put eggs in the bowl and the whisk doesn’t even touch them. All fixed now!
