Using Your KitchenAid®Accessories
Flat Beater for normal to heavy mixtures:
cakes biscuits
creamed frostings quick breads
candies meat loaf
cookies mashed potatoes
pie pastry
Wire Whip for mixtures that need air incorporated:
eggs sponge cakes
egg whites angel food cakes
heavy cream mayonnaise
boiled frostings some candies
Dough Hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs:
breads coffee cakes
rolls buns
pizza dough
Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the
factory so the flat beater just clears
the bottom of the bowl. If, for any
reason, the flat beater hits the bottom
of the bowl or is too far away from
the bowl, you can correct the
clearance easily.
1. Unplug Stand Mixer.
2. Place bowl-lift handle in down
position.
3. Attach flat beater.
4. Adjust so flat beater just clears
bottom surface of bowl when in
lifted position by turning screw (A)
counterclockwise to raise the bowl
and clockwise to lower the bowl.
Just a slight turn is all that is
required: the screw will not rotate
more than 1⁄4turn (90 degrees) in
either direction. (The full range of
adjustment is 1⁄2turn, or 180
degrees.)
5. Place bowl-lift handle in up
position to check clearance.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the
flat beater will not strike on the
bottom or side of the bowl. If the flat
beater or the wire whip is so close
that it strikes the bottom of the bowl,
coating may wear off the beater or
wires on whip may wear.

English
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. Do not
store beaters on shaft.
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
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.
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.
Planetary Mixing Action
Stand 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 unit 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 unit.
This is normal.
WARNING
Injury Hazard
Unplug mixer before touching
beaters.
Failure to do so can result in
broken bones, cuts or bruises.

Speed Control Guide – 10 Speed Mixers
All speeds have the Soft Start™ feature which automatically starts the Stand
Mixer at a lower speed to help prevent ingredient splash-out and “flour puff” at
startup then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.
Number of Speed
1STIR For slow stirring, combining, mashing,
starting all mixing procedures. Use to
add flour and dry ingredients to batter,
and add liquids to dry ingredients. Do
not use Speed 1 (STIR) to mix or knead
yeast doughs.
2SLOW MIXING For slow mixing, mashing, faster
stirring. Use to mix and knead yeast
doughs, heavy batters and candies,
start mashing potatoes or other
vegetables, cut shortening into flour,
mix thin or splashy batters. Use with
Can Opener attachment.
4MIXING, For mixing semi-heavy batters, such as
BEATING cookies. Use to combine sugar and
shortening and to add sugar to egg
whites for meringues. Medium speed for
cake mixes. Use with: Food Grinder,
Rotor Slicer/Shredder, Pasta Roller, and
Fruit/Vegetable Strainer.
6BEATING, For medium fast beating (creaming) or
CREAMING whipping. Use to finish mixing cake,
doughnut, and other batters. High speed
for cake mixes. Use with Citrus Juicer
attachment.
8FAST BEATING, For whipping cream, egg whites, and
WHIPPING boiled frostings.
10 FAST WHIPPING For whipping small amounts of cream,
egg whites or for final whipping of
mashed potatoes.
NOTE: Will not maintain fast speeds
under heavy loads, such as when using
Pasta Maker or Grain Mill attachments.
Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates
high potential for unit failure. The PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook efficiently
kneads most yeast dough within 4 minutes.

Mixing Tips
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,” Page 7, 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:
1⁄3dry ingredients
1⁄2liquid ingredients
1⁄3dry ingredients
1⁄2liquid ingredients
1⁄3dry ingredients
Use Speed 1 (STIR) 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,”
page 5.
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 seconds of mixing on
Speed 1 (STIR). 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 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.
NEVER use recipes calling for more
than 1.96 kg (14 cups) all-purpose
flour or 1.12 kg (8 cups) whole wheat
flour when making dough with a
5.8 L (6 qrt) Stand Mixer.
NEVER use recipes calling for more
than 1.68 kg (12 cups) all-purpose
flour or 840 g (6 cups) whole wheat
flour when making dough with a
4.8 L (5-qrt) Stand Mixer.

Kneading Yeast Doughs Using the
PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook
1. Place all dry ingredients including
yeast into bowl, except last 1 to
2 cups (125 to 250 gr) flour.
2. Attach bowl and PowerKnead™
Spiral Dough Hook. Raise mixer
bowl. Turn to Speed 2 and mix
about 15 seconds, or until
ingredients are combined.
3. 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 PowerKnead™ Spiral
Dough Hook and slow down mixing
process.
4. Continuing on Speed 2, gently add
remaining flour, 1⁄2cup (60 gr) at a
time, as needed. Mix until dough
starts to clean sides of bowl, about
2 minutes.
5. Knead on Speed 2 for 2 more
minutes, or until dough is smooth
and elastic.
6. Lower bowl on Stand Mixer and
remove dough from the bowl and
PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook.
NOTE: These instructions illustrate
bread making with the Rapid Mix
method. When using the conventional
method, dissolve yeast in warm water
in warmed bowl. Add remaining
liquids and dry ingredients - except
last 1 to 2 cups (125 to 250 gr) flour.
Turn to Speed 2 for about
1 minute, or until ingredients are
thoroughly mixed. Proceed with
Steps 4 through 6.

2-4 egg whites........GRADUALLY to 8
6 or more
egg whites........GRADUALLY to 8
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.
Whipped Cream
Pour cold whipping cream into chilled
bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip. To

118 ml (1⁄2cup) ......GRADUALLY to 10
236 ml (1 cup) ........GRADUALLY to 8
472 ml (1 pint ).......GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
Watch cream closely during whipping.
Because your KitchenAid®Stand Mixer
whips so quickly, there are just a few
seconds between whipping stages.
Look for these characteristics:
Begins to Thicken
Cream is thick and custard-like.
Holds its Shape
Cream forms soft peaks when wire
whip is removed. Can be folded into
other ingredients when making
desserts and sauces.
