How do you get the bowl to stay in place? I went from a bowl-lift stand mixer to this one and the bowl flew off when I started to mix it. HELP!

I believe it secures with a small turn/rotation. One direction secures the bowl and the other releases it. It's basically a thread but only rotates about 5 degrees.

It should have notches at the bottom of the bowl, they twist into place at the base.

There is a nob on the bowl that fits into the stand & when all else fails,read instructions.

Hello Cindy,The bowl locks into the base by giving it a quarter clockwise turn.

Sit the bowl on the platform and turn it to the left and it locks in place. You were kidding with this question weren't you?

I had the same problem....theyre 2 different kinds of ends. So they have to be placed in the correct hole or they continue to fall out....not a very good diagram on the bottom of the mixer itself, but it is there....hope this helps

It is a bit tricky to get the bowl in place but it needs to clip/slide into the two mounting holes in the opening. If you look you will see them. Once you get the bowl position so that the clips can slide in it will work. It did for me.

I do not. If your bowl is adjusted for the metal blade, the silicone is flippy enough to run over the surface and clean. When they say "adjust the bowl" they are talking about getting the bowl positioned so that the blade is close to the bowl but does not rub. http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-adjust-the-bowl-height-139029

I bought this bowl for my ancient machine...it works perfectly but I agree with the other answer....you have to give the bowl a firm push to get it into place or the top won't lock in properly...not a problem at all but you have to be aware!

The bowl does not turn at all. The action of the mixer is that the beater is not straight down, it makes a rotation inside the bowl.

I have no idea what you are asking... Do you have this bowl in your cart and want to remove it? If so go to your Amazon cart and click "remove". Otherwise the bowl itself is its own bowl. So if you don't want to use it, you have to pick it up and put down another bowl. Sorry if that's not the answer you're looking for but your question was pretty vague.

I don't know. Sorry. I know that when I use the beater that comes with it, I have to hold the bowl in place while it beats. It doesn't fit my professional mixer as it comes off the hooks when I use it. I am thinking that bread dough would be tough for holding the bowl into place, but I am just guessing.

The only time I had a problem with overflowing was once when the bowl wasn't completely level on the floor. If you place your bowl on carpet or other soft flooring, you might need to use something underneath it to balance it out.

I just hold the top lightly until it stops moving to the point it could 'walk' or tip over. This was the only drawback I could find when I researched blenders. Supposedly they are not supposed to tip over, even though it sure seems like it could; but I haven't had that much faith in it that I would walk away from it.

Make sure you have all the mechanisms locked into place. The bowl must be locked in as well as the lid. If you think you have correctly addressed this problem, refer to customer service for further assistance.

I have the same mixer & love this bowl. The handle is so convenient for taking it off the mixer & pouring the contents into a pan. Suggestion-get the extra cover that you can add ingredients while the mixer is going. Works great. And plastic storage lid (not sure if this came with the bowl). Enjoy.

The metal bracket closest to the bowl does NOT turn on mine. I was able to make it work on horizontal bars by putting a large metal washer behind that bracket and in front of the inside bars and then attached the other bracket piece and wing nut on the outside. Hope that helps!!

I also have had some trouble getting the splashguard back on after removing it.....I wasn't pushing it in place properly, I guess....once I got it firmly on again, it did not fall off, nor did it wobble. I am older, and have noticed that I'm losing my strength in my arms and hands....after fiddling with it a few times, I was able to get it to stay in place. Addendum: The splashguard does wobble when the arm is up or the arm is down without the bowl underneath it. The guard does not wobble when the arm is down and the bowl is underneath it. I used my mixer the other day and realized that it does wobble....when not in use!

I have the same bowl and mine did fall off and chipped . My husband used Gorilla glue and it did the job. Do not lift it by the bowl after gluing .

This happened to me also. I believe that the metal piece that supports the stem is not quite straight but I'm not sure about that. I did notice, before that happened, that I had difficulty getting the pieces to separate...could be the reason. I have not had any more trouble with breakage but the tightness is still there. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. I have ordered a new processor, same model, but wanted the same size so that I could still use all my various blades & bowls. Time will tell if that fixes the problem.

Set the bowl aside and look at the spot on the mixer where the bowl should sit. There is a ring held on by 3 screws. Remove those screws and rotate the ring, which will re-position the notches. Re-insert the screws.
