USING THE STAND MIXER
USING THE STAND MIXER
Bowl, coated flat beater and coated
dough hook may be washed in an automatic
dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly
in hot sudsy water and rinse completely
before drying. Do not store beaters on
shaft.
NOTE: The wire whip is NOT
dishwasher-safe!
NOTE: Always be sure to unplug Stand
Mixer before cleaning. Wipe Stand Mixer
with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use
household/commercial cleaners. Do not
immerse in water. Wipe off beater shaft
frequently, removing any residue that may
accumulate.
Care and Cleaning of Your Stand Mixer
Planetary Mixing Action
Stand Mixer Use
The bowl and beater are designed to
provide thorough mixing without frequent
scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice
during mixing is usually sufficient.
The Stand Mixer may warm up during use.
Under heavy loads with extended mixing
time, you may not be able to comfortably
touch the top of the unit. This is normal.
NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while Stand
Mixer is operating.
Your KitchenAid Stand Mixer will mix
faster and more thoroughly than most
other electric mixers. Therefore, the
mixing time in most recipes must be
adjusted to avoid overbeating.
During operation, the flat
beater moves around the
stationary bowl, at the
same time turning in the
opposite direction on its
own axis. The diagram
shows the complete
coverage of the bowl
made by the path of
the beater.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
ALWAYS BE SURE TO UNPLUG
MIXER BEFORE CLEANING TO AVOID
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Wipe mixer with a damp cloth. DO
NOT IMMERSE IN WATER. Wipe off
beater shaft frequently, removing any
residue that may accumulate.
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
To avoid personal injury and damage
to the beater, do not attempt to scrape
bowl while mixer is operating; turn
mixer off. Should scraper or other
object drop into bowl, turn motor
OFF before removing.

Speed Control Guide
USING THE STAND MIXER
Number Speed Description
1 STIR For slow stirring, combining, mashing or
starting all mixing procedures. Use to
add flour and dry ingredients to batter, and
add liquids to dry ingredients. Do not use STIR
Speed to mix or knead yeast doughs.
2 SLOW MIXING For slow mixing, mashing or faster stirring.

USING THE STAND MIXER
USING THE STAND MIXER
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use
Speed 4 for medium speed and speed 6 for
high speed. For best results, mix for the
time stated on the package directions.
Adding Nuts, Raisins or Candied Fruits
Solid materials should be folded in the last
few sections of mixing on stir speed. The
batter should be thick enough to keep the
fruits and nuts from sinking to the bottom
of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should
be dusted with flour for better distribution
in the batter.
Liquid Mixture
Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid
ingredients should be mixed at lower
speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed
only after mixture has thickened.
Kneading Yeast Doughs
ALWAYS use the dough hook to mix and
knead yeast doughs. Use Speed 2 to mix or
knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed
creates high potential for unit failure. When
making dough with a 4.25 liter (4.5 qt.)
tilt-head Stand Mixer, NEVER use recipes
calling for more than 0.87 kg (7 cups)
all-purpose flour or 0.81 kg (6 cups) whole
wheat flour. When making dough with a
4.8 liter (5 qt.) tilt-head Stand Mixer,
NEVER use recipes calling for more than
1.00 kg (8 cups) all-purpose flour or 0.81 kg
(6 cups) whole wheat flour.
Converting Your Recipe for the
Stand Mixer
The mixing instructions found in this book
can be used to convert your favorite recipes
for use with your KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
To help determine a mixing procedure,
your own observations and experience will
be needed. Watch the batter or dough and
mix only until it has the desired appearance
described in your recipe, such as “smooth
and creamy.” Use the “Speed Control
Guide” to help determine proper mixing
speeds.
Adding Ingredients
The standard procedure to follow when
mixing most batters, especially cake and
cookie batters, is to add:
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients
Use stir speed until ingredients have been
blended. Then gradually increase to desired
speed.
Always add ingredients as close to side of
bowl as possible, not directly into moving
beater. The pouring shield can be used to
simplify adding ingredients.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom
of bowl are not thoroughly mixed, the
beater is not far enough into the bowl.
See “Beater-to-Bowl Clearance.”

USING THE STAND MIXER
Mixing and Kneading Yeast Dough
USING THE STAND MIXER
“Rapid Mix” describes a bread baking
method that calls for dry yeast to be mixed
with other dry ingredients before liquid is
added. In contrast, the traditional method
is to dissolve yeast in warm water.
1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast
into bowl, except last 125 to 250 g
(1 to 2 cups) flour.
2. Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers: Attach bowl
and dough hook. Raise Stand Mixer bowl.
Tilt-Head Stand Mixers: Attach bowl
and dough hook. Lock Stand Mixer head.
3. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about
15 seconds, or until ingredients
are combined.
4. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add
liquid ingredients to flour mixture and
mix 1 to 2 minutes longer.
NOTE: If liquid ingredients are added too
quickly, they will form a pool around the
dough hook and slow down mixing process.
5. Continuing on Speed 2, gently add
remaining flour, 60 g (1/2 cup) at a time,
as needed. Mix until dough starts to clean
sides of bowl, about 2 minutes.
6. When dough clings to hook, knead on
Speed 2 for 2 minutes, or until dough is
smooth and elastic.
NOTE: Dust flour on the inside of bowl and
dough hook to prevent dough from sticking.
7. Bowl-Lift Stand Mixers: Lower bowl
on Stand Mixer and remove dough from
the bowl and dough hook.
Tilt-Head Stand Mixers: Unlock and
tilt back Stand Mixer head and remove
dough from the bowl and dough hook.
8. Follow directions in recipe for rising,
shaping, and baking.
When using the traditional method to
prepare a favorite recipe, dissolve yeast
in warm water in warmed bowl. Add
remaining liquids and dry ingredients, except
last 125 to 250 g (1 to 2 cups) flour. Turn to
Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute, or until
ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Proceed
with Steps 4 through 6.
Both methods work equally well for bread
preparation. However, the “Rapid Mix”
method may be a bit faster and easier
for new bread bakers. It is slightly more
temperature tolerant because the yeast
is mixed with dry ingredients rather than
with warm liquid.

See chart below.
Amount Speed
1 egg white Gradually to 10
2-4 egg whites Gradually to 8
6 or more egg whites Gradually to 6
WHIPPING STAGES
With your KitchenAid Stand Mixer, egg
whites whip quickly. So, watch carefully
to avoid overwhipping. This list tells you
what to expect.
Frothy:
Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to hold shape:
Air bubbles are fine and compact; product
is white.
Soft peak:
Tips of peaks fall over when wire whip
is removed.
Almost stiff:
Sharp peaks form when wire whip is
removed, but whites are actually soft.
Stiff but not dry:
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip
is removed. Whites are uniform in color
and glisten.
Stiff and dry:
Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip
is removed. Whites are speckled and dull
in appearance.
