USING THE STAND MIXER

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 clearance easily.

Turn speed control to “0”. Unplug Stand Mixer.

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.

Lift motor head. Turn screw 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.

PLACING/REMOVING THE POURING SHIELD*

To place pouring shield: Turn speed

control to “0”. Unplug Stand Mixer. Attach your chosen accessory. See the “Attaching/removing the flat beater, wire whip, or dough hook” section.

*Included with select models only. Also available as an optional accessory.

From the front of the Stand Mixer, slide the pouring shield over the bowl until the shield is centred. The bottom rim of the shield should fit within the bowl.

ENGLISH

USING THE STAND MIXER

To remove pouring shield: Turn speed

control to “0”. Unplug Stand Mixer.

Lift the front of the pouring shield clear of the bowl rim and pull forward. Remove attachment and bowl.

USING THE POURING SHIELD*

Use the pouring shield to avoid having ingredients splashing out of the bowl when mixing, as well as to easily pour ingredients in the bowl while mixing.

For best results, rotate the shield so the motor head covers the U-shaped gap in the shield. The pouring chute will be just to the right of the attachment hub asyou face the Stand Mixer.

*Included with select models only. Also available as an optional accessory.

USING THE STAND MIXER

OPERATING THE SPEED CONTROL

NOTE: The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended mixing time, the top of the unit may become hot. This is normal.

Plug Stand Mixer into proper electrical outlet. Always set speed control lever on lowest speed to start, then gradually increase speed to avoid splashing ingredients. See “Speed control guide” chart.

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.

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS

KitchenAid offers a wide range of optional attachments such as food grinders or pasta makers. They may be attached to the Stand Mixer attachment power shaft, as shown here.

To attach: Turn speed control to “0”.

Unplug Stand Mixer.
