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.
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 become warm during
use� Under heavy loads with extended
mixing time periods, you may not be able
to comfortably touch the top of the Stand
Mixer� This is normal�

MIXING TIPS
STAND MIXER USE
Mixing time
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�
To help determine the ideal mixing time,
observe the batter or dough and mix
only until it has the desired appearance
described in your recipe, such as “smooth
and creamy�” To select the best mixing
speeds, use the “Speed control guide”
section�
Adding ingredients
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� Use
Speed 1 until ingredients have been
blended� Then gradually increase to
desired speed�
Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits
Follow individual recipes for guidelines on
including these ingredients� In general,
solid materials should be folded in the last
few seconds of mixing on Speed 1� The
batter should be thick enough to keep the
fruit or 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 Mixtures
Mixtures containing large amounts of
liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower
speeds to avoid splashing� Increase speed
only after mixture has thickened�
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom
of bowl are not thoroughly mixed,
then the beater is not far enough into
the bowl� See the “Beater to bowl
clearance” section�
