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 “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 1015 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.

2.Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect power.

3.Attach Flat Beater, Dough Hook, or Wire Whip and bowl (see page 11).

4.From the front of the mixer, slide the Pouring Shield over the bowl until the shield is centered. The bottom rim of the shield should fit within the bowl.

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

ENGLISH

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 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.

ENGLISH

TILT-HEAD STAND MIXER USE

WARNING

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 without frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufﬁ cient. 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

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.

NOTE: 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.

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.Turn speed control to OFF.

2.Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect power.

3.Tilt motor head back.

4.Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY counterclockwise (left) to raise the Flat Beater or clockwise (right) to lower the Flat Beater.

5.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 when 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 bowl, the coating may wear off the beater, or the wires on the whip may wear.

	SPEED CONTROL GUIDE

8FAST BEATING, For whipping cream, egg whites, and boiled frostings.

WHIPPING

10 FAST WHIPPING For whipping small amounts of cream or egg whites. Use with Pasta Maker and Grain Mill attachments.

NOTE: Mixer may not maintain fast speeds under heavy load, such as when the Pasta Maker or Grain Mill attachments are used. This is normal.

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 ﬁ ner adjustment is required.

Use Speed 2 when preparing yeast dough. Using any other speed may damage the 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 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.

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 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.”

To select the best mixing speeds, see the “Speed Control Guide” section.

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” 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 ﬂ our 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 mixer speed only after the mixture has thickened.

EGG WHITES

Place room temperature egg whites in a clean, dry bowl. Attach bowl and Wire Whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to the desired stage. See chart below.

AMOUNT		SPEED
1	egg white ......	GRADUALLY to 10
2+	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 ﬁ ne 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 a chilled bowl. Attach bowl and Wire Whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to the desired stage. See chart below.

AMOUNT	SPEED
1⁄4 - 3⁄4 cup ...........	GRADUALLY to 10
(60 mL -175 mL)
1+ cup ..................	GRADUALLY to 8
(235 mL +)

Whipping Stages

Watch the 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 ﬁ lling for cream puffs.
