Cleaning your Stir Tower
Remove the Stir Tower from the Multi-Cooker
before cleaning.
• Allow Stir Tower and accessories
to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal
scouring pads. They could scratch
the surface.
• Stir Tower arm features a nonstick ceramic
coating for easy cleaning.
• Wipe the outside of the Stir Tower with a
clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
NOTE: The ip-and-stir wand and
side scraper are dishwasher durable,
but handwashing in hot, soapy water is
recommended.
Tips and tricks
• For most food preparation, use the ip-
and-stir wand only for best performance.
When preparing larger quantities (near the
MAX FILL line), or for foods like soups and
stews, add the side scraper to help mix and
circulate foods.
• For stirring risotto (Arborio) rice, it is
recommended to stir at least 2–4 cups
(380–760 g) of rice to get the best ipping
and stirring performance
• Flip-and-stir wand is designed to stir/ip/
incorporate 3–4 cups (0.75–1.0 L) of
ingredients at a time.
• Use of the Stir Tower is not recommended
when preparing smaller quantities of lighter
or delicate ingredients such as mushrooms.
• The ip-and-stir wand is ideal for preparing
foods ingredients such as onions, carrots,
broccoli, potatoes (cubed), meatballs (2-3
oz./40-60 g each), small to medium shrimp,
and sliced or cubed meats and poultry.
CARE AND CLEANING

10
• Stir Tower not turning on:
The Stir Tower is powered by the Multi-
Cooker. Be sure that the Multi-Cooker is
plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet
and seated properly on the easy-connect
power port.
• Food not being stirred, or sticking to
side of pot:
For most cooking, use only the ip-and-stir
wand.
For larger quantities or for foods like soups
and stews, use both stirring attachments
together.
• Motor shutting off:
The stirring motor has built-in thermal
overload protection. If food is too thick
or heavy, try selecting a slower speed, or
prepare a smaller quantity.
• Stir arm won’t lock into place:
If the stir arm does not go all the way
down, rotate the attachments slightly
before lowering the arm.
Be sure that the stir arm is aligned with
the pouring spout.
• If the problem cannot be corrected:
See the “KitchenAid Warranty and Service”
sections. Do not return the Multi-Cooker
to the retailer – retailers do not provide
service.
