Electrical Requirements

Volts: 120 A.C. only. Hertz: 60 The wattage rating for your stand mixer is printed on the trim band or on the serial plate.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

The maximum rating is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load (power). Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.

Please read the following before calling your service center.

1. The stand mixer may warm up 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 off 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.

- If the problem is not due to one of the above items, see the “Arranging for Service” section.

- Do not return the stand mixer to the retailer as they do not provide service.

Using Your KitchenAid®Attachments

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

Mixing Time

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. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other 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.

Injury Hazard

Unplug mixer before touching beaters.

Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts or bruises.

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 wire whip, burnished dough hook and burnished flat beater in a dishwasher. Do not store beaters on shaft.

Care and Cleaning

Beater to Bowl Clearance

Your stand mixer is adjusted at the factory so that 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, clearance can be corrected as follows:

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.

Tilt-Head models

• Unplug stand mixer.

• Lift motor head.

• Turn screw (A) slightly counterclockwise

(left) to raise flat beater or clockwise (right) to lower flat beater.

• Make adjustment with flat beater, so it just

clears surface of bowl. If you overadjust the screw, the bowl lock lever may not lock into place.

Bowl-Lift models

• Unplug stand mixer.

• Place bowl lift handle in down position.

• Turn screw (B) slightly counterclockwise

(left) to lower the bowl (increased beater

clearance) or clockwise (right) to raise the

bowl (reduced beater clearance).

• Make adjustments with flat beater, so it

just clears surface of bowl. NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike on bottom or

side of bowl. If beater or wire whip is adjusted too close so that it strikes bottom of bowl, coating may wear off beater or wires may wear through on wire whip.

Speed Control Guide

Number of Speed

Stir Speed STIR For slow stirring, combining, mashing,

starting all mixing procedures. Use to add flour and dry ingredients to batter, add liquids to dry ingredients, and combine heavy mixtures.

2 SLOW MIXING For slow mixing, mashing, faster

stirring. Use to mix heavy batters and candies, start mashing potatoes or other vegetables, cut shortening into flour, mix thin or splashy batters, and mix and knead yeast dough. Use with Can Opener attachment.

4 MIXING, 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, and Fruit/Vegetable Strainer.

6 BEATING, 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.

8 FAST BEATING, For whipping cream, egg whites, and

WHIPPING boiled frostings.

10 FAST WHIPPING For whipping small amounts of cream

or egg whites. Use with Pasta Maker and Grain Mill attachments. NOTE: Will not maintain fast speeds under heavy loads, such as when using Pasta Maker or Grain Mill attachments.

NOTE: The Speed Control Lever can be set between the speeds listed in the above chart to obtain speeds 3, 5, 7 and 9 if a finer adjustment is required. Do not exceed Speed 2 when preparing yeast doughs as this may cause damage to the stand mixer.

Mixing Tips

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 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 Caramel Walnut Banana Torte, 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.

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 “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 Stir Speed. 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

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

6 or more

egg whites......GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping Stages

With your KitchenAid®stand mixer, egg whites whip quickly. So, watch closely 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 avoid splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to desired stage. See chart below.

AMOUNT SPEED

⁄4 cup .................GRADUALLY to 10

⁄2 cup .................GRADUALLY to 10

1 cup ....................GRADUALLY to 8

1 pint ...................GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping Stages

Watch cream closely during whipping. Because your KitchenAid®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.

Attachments and Accessories

To Attach

1. Turn stand mixer off and unplug.
