KA Glass Bowl

The other day, I mixed a double batch of dough and used the large glass bowl for the first time.  It didn't want to lock into place and either the handle or the pour spout hit the pedestal of the mixer.  I held it in place until finished and afterwards noticed that the plastic lock ring on the bottom was loose.  I had assumed that the ring was bonded or crimped onto the glass.  Turns out that the ring is threaded onto the bowl and mine was loose.  I tightened it up and voila, it locked into position with nothing hitting the pedestal.  Just thought I'd pass this along.

I learned something today! The KA we have belongs to my daughter and I only use it to mill grain but she uses it for all kinds of things and she has the glass bowl as well. So your info is good to know.
