M XNG E
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.

.... MXEtq/sE
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 is operating.
The bowl and beater are designed
to provide thorough mixing vvithout
frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl
once or twice during mixing is usually
sufficient. Turn the Stand Mixer 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 Stand
Mixer. This is normal.
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, burnished Dough Hook and
burnished Flat Beater should be hand
washed and dried immediately. Do
not wash the Wire Whip, burnished
Dough Hook and burnished Flat
Beater in a dishwasher. Do not store
the beaters on the shaft.
HOT[: 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.
BEA/Etq Q BOWL
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.
Turn speed control to OFF.
2 Unplug Stand Mixer or
disconnect povver.
Tilt motor head back.
4 Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY
counterclockwise (left)to raise the
Flat Beater or clockwise (right) to
Iovver the Flat Beater.
Make adjustment so that the Flat
Beater just clears the surface of the
bowl. If you over adjust the screw,
you may not be able to lock the
motor head vvhen it is lowered.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the
Flat Beater will not strike the bottom or
side of the bowl. If the Flat Beater or
the Wire Whip is adjusted so that it
strikes the bovvl, the coating may vvear
off the beater, or the wires on the whip
may wear.

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.
Forexample, the "quick mix" method
(sometimes referred to as the "dump"
method) is ideal for simple cakes,
such as the Quick Yellow Cake and
Easy White Cake included in this
book. This method calls for 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.
Forall cakes, mixing times may change
because your KitchenAid®Stand Mixer
works more quickly than other mixers.
Ingeneral, mixing a cake with the
KitchenAid®Stand Mixer will take about
half the time called for in most traditional
and non-packaged cake recipes.
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."
Toselectthe bestmixing speeds,use
theSpeed Control Guide on page 15.
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side
of bowl as possible, not directly into the
moving beater. 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 14.
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
thebatter.
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.
