Your KitchenAid®Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most recipes must be adjusted

Mixing Time

Mixer Use

NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while 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.
to avoid overbeating
. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other mixers.
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
Using Your KitchenAid®Attachments
The 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 unit. This is normal.

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.

Care And Cleaning

• Unplug mixer.
• Place bowl lift handle in down position.
• Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY clockwise to raise the bowl, counterclockwise to lower the bowl.
• 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.

Beater To Bowl Clearance

Your 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:
A
NOTE: Always be sure to unplug mixer before cleaning. Wipe 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.

All speeds have the Soft Start™feature which automatically starts the mixer at a lower speed to help prevent ingredient splash-out and “flour puff” at startup then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.
Number of Speed
Stir Speed STIR 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 stir speed to mix or knead yeast doughs.
2 SLOW MIXING For slow mixing, mashing, faster
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. 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, Pasta Roller, 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,
egg whites or for final whipping of mashed potatoes. 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.
Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for unit failure.

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
®
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
®
mixer works more quickly than other mixers. In general, mixing a cake with the KitchenAid
®
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 on pages 13 and 15.
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,” page 12.
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 prevent 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.
15
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
®
mixer, egg whites whip quickly. So, watch carefully 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. Mixture 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.
Egg Whites 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
1
4 cup.....................GRADUALLY to 10
1
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.
