1. The Stand Mixer may become
warm during use. Under heavy
loads with extended mixing time
periods, you may not be able to
comfortably touch the top of the
Stand Mixer. This is normal.
2. The Stand Mixer may emit a
pungent odor, especially when
new. This is common with electric
motors.
3. If the flat beater hits the bowl,
stop the Stand Mixer. See the
Beater to Bowl Clearancesection.
Keep a copy of the sales receipt showing
the date of purchase. Proof of purchase
will assure you of in-warranty service.
If your Stand Mixer should
malfunction or fail to operate,
please check the following:
- Is the Stand Mixer plugged in?
- Is the fuse in the circuit to the
Stand Mixer in working order?
If you have a circuit breaker box,
be sure the circuit is closed.
- Turn the Stand Mixer to the
0(Off) position for 10-15
seconds, then turn it back on.
If the mixer still does not start,
allow it to cool for 30 minutes
before turning it back on.

Using Your KitchenAid Attachments
Flat Beater for normal to heavy mixtures:
cakes biscuits
creamed frostings crumpets
candies meat loaf
cookies mashed potatoes
pie pastry
Wire Whip for mixtures that need air incorporated:
eggs sponge cakes
egg whites mayonnaise
heavy cream some candies
boiled frostings
Spiral Dough Hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs:
breads coffee cakes
rolls buns
Mixing 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.

Care and Cleaning
Bowl, stainless steel flat beater, wire
whip, and spiral dough hook may be
washed thoroughly with soap and hot
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.
Beater to Bowl Clearance
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 1/4 turn (90 degrees)
in either direction. (The full range
of adjustment is 1/2 turn, 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.

Speed Control Guide - 10 Speed Stand Mixers
All speeds have a feature that automatically
starts the Stand Mixer at a lower speed to
help avoid ingredient splash-out and flour
puffat start-up, then quickly increases to
the selected speed for optimal performance.
Speed Used for Accessories Description
1 Stirring 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 to mix or knead yeast
doughs.
2 Slow Mixing, For slow mixing, mashing, faster
Kneading 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.
4 Mixing, For mixing semi-heavy batters, such
Beating as cookies. Use to combine sugar
and shortening and to add sugar to
egg whites for meringues. Medium
speed for cake mixes.
6 Beating, For medium-fast beating (creaming)
Creaming or whipping. Use to finish mixing
cake, doughnut, and other batters.
High speed for cake mixes.
8-10 Fast Beating, For whipping cream, egg whites,
Whipping, and boiled frostings. For whipping
Fast Whipping small amounts of cream, egg
whites or for final whipping of
mashed potatoes.
NOTE: Use Speed 2 to mix or
knead yeast doughs. Use of any
other speed creates high potential
for Stand Mixer failure. The
PowerKnead Spiral Dough Hook
efficiently kneads most yeast
dough within 4 minutes.

Mixing Tips
Converting Your Recipes
for the Stand 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 as the dump
method) is ideal for simple cakes.
This method calls for combining dry
ingredients with most or all liquid
ingredients in one step.
More elaborate cakes 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 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.
To select the best mixing speeds, use the
Speed Control Guidesection.
Adding Ingredients
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, then the
beater is not far enough into the bowl.
See the Beater to Bowl Clearance
section.
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 Speed 1. The
batter should be thick enough to keep 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.

Egg Whites Whipped Cream
Place room temperature egg whites in
clean, dry bowl. Attach bowl and wire
whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn
to designated speed and whip to desired
stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT SPEED
1 egg white........GRADUALLY to 10
2-4 egg whites.......GRADUALLY to 8
6ormore
egg whites.......GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
With your KitchenAid Stand Mixer, egg
whites whip quickly. So watch 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
Pour cold whipping cream into chilled
bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip.
To avoid splashing, gradually turn to
designated speed and whip to desired
stage. See chart below.
AMOUNT SPEED
50 mL (1/4 cup) .....GRADUALLY to 10
125 mL (1/2 cup) ...GRADUALLY to 10
250 mL (1 cup) .......GRADUALLY to 8
500 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.
Stiff
Cream stands in stiff, sharp peaks
when wire whip is removed. Use
for topping on cakes or desserts,
or filling for cream puffs.

Bread Making Tips
Making bread with a mixer is quite
different from making bread by
hand. Therefore, it will take some
practice before you are completely
comfortable with the new process.
For your convenience, we offer these
tips to help you become accustomed to
bread-making the KitchenAid brand way.
Always use the PowerKnead
Spiral Dough Hook to mix and
knead yeast doughs.
Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast
dough. Use of any other speed with
heavy doughs may cause mixer to stop
rotating to limit mixer damage. This is
normal operation. If this occurs, turn
the speed selector to 0(Off), and
then turn back on to a lower speed.
Use a candy or other kitchen
thermometer to assure that liquids
are at temperature specified in the
recipe. Liquids at higher temperature
can kill yeast, while liquids at lower
temperatures will retard yeast growth.
Warm all ingredients to room
temperature to ensure proper rising
of dough. If yeast is to be dissolved
in bowl, always warm bowl first by
rinsing with warm water to avoid
cooling of liquids.
Allow bread to rise in a warm place,
80°F to 85°F, free from draft, unless
otherwise specified in recipe.
*For models with Pouring Shield.
