PRODUCT USAGE

OPERATING THE SPEED CONTROL

Press the Ejector Button to release the
accessories from the Hand Mixer, then
remove them.

This KitchenAid® Hand Mixer will beat faster
and more thoroughly than most other electric
Hand Mixers. Therefore, the beating time in
most recipes must be adjusted to avoid over
beating. Beating time is faster due to larger
Beater sizes.

To help determine the ideal beating time,
observe the batter or dough and beat only
until it has the desired appearance described
in your recipe, such as “smooth and creamy”.
To select the best beating speeds, see the
“Speed Control Guide” section.
