Your KitchenAid <"Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly
than most other electric Stand Mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in
most traditional and non-packaged recipes must be adjusted to avoid
overbeating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as
with other Stand Mixers.

Injury Hazard
Unplug mixer before touching
beaters.
Failure to do so can result in
broken bones, cuts or bruises.
NOTE: Do not scrape the bowl
while the Stand Mixer isoperating.
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 the unit off before scraping.
The Stand Mixer may warm up
during use. Under heavy load with
extended mixing time, you may not be able to comfortably touch the top of
the unit. This is normal.
/. l'.m];::{JILLi.i
Bowl, white flat beater and white dough hook may be washed in an
automatic dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly in hot sudsy water and
rinse completely before drying. Wire whip should be hand washed and
dried immediately. Do not wash the wire whip in a dishwasher. Do not store
the beaters on the shaft.
NOTE: Always be sure to unplug the Stand Mixer before cleaning. Wipe the
Stand Mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use household or commercial
cleaners. Do not immerse in water. Wipe off the beater shaft frequently,
removing any residue that may accumulate.

Converting Your Recipe
for the Mixer
The mixing instructions for recipes
in this book can guide you in
converting your own favorite
recipes for preparation with your
KitchenAid ®Stand Mixer. Look for
recipes similar to yours and then
adapt your recipes to use
the procedures in the similar
KitchenAid recipes.
For example, the "quick mix" method
(sometimes referred to asthe "dump"
method) is ideal for simple cakes,such
asthe Quick Yellow Cakeand Easy
White Cakeincluded in this book.
This method callsfor combining dry
ingredients with most or all liquid
ingredients in one step.
More elaborate cakes, such as
tortes, should be prepared using
the traditional cake mixing method.
With this method, sugar and the
shortening, butter, or margarine are
thoroughly mixed (creamed) before
other ingredients are added.
For all cakes, mixing times may
change because your KitchenAid _
Stand Mixer works more quickly
than other mixers. In general, mixing
a cake with the KitchenAid _ Stand
Mixer will take about half the time
called for in most traditional and
non-packaged cake recipes.
Tohelp 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."
Toselectthe best mixing speeds,use
the SpeedControl Guide on page 13.
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to
side of bowl as possible, not directly
into the moving beaten The Pouring
Shield can be used to simplify
adding ingredients.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom
of bowl are not thoroughly mixed,
then the beater is not far enough
into the bowl. See "Beater to Bowl
Clearance" on page 12.
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake
mixes, use Speed 2 for low speed,
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
Follow individual recipes for
guidelines on including these
ingredients. In general, solid
materials should be folded in the last
few seconds of mixing on Stir Speed.
The batter should be thick enough to
prevent 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 mixer speed only after the
mixture has thickened.

General information
KitchenAid _ attachments are designed to assure long life. The attachment
power shaft and hub socket are of a square design, to eliminate any possibility
of slipping during the transmission of power to the attachment. The hub and
shaft housing are tapered to assure a snug fit, even after prolonged use and
wear. KitchenAid ® attachments require no extra power unit to operate them;
the power unit is built in.
