yeast doughs:
breads coffee cakes

Mixi g Time
Your KitchenAid®stand mixer will
mix faster and more thoroughly
than most other electric stand
mixers. Therefore, the mixing time
in most recipes must be adjusted to
avoid overbeating. With cakes, for
example, beating time may be half
as long as with other stand mixers.
Mixer Use
NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while
stand mixer is operating.
The bowl and beater are designed
to provide thorough mixing
without frequent scraping. Scraping
the bowl once or twice during
mixing is usually sufficient. Turn
stand mixer off before scraping.
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 stand mixer. This is
normal.
WARNING
Injury Hazard
Unplug mixer before touching
beaters.
Failure to do so can result in
broken bones, cuts or bruises.

flat beater will not strike on the

close that it strikes the bottom of
the bowl, coating may wear off the
beater or wires on whip may
wear.
