ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER

Check to be sure that the Stand

1 Mixer is unplugged, and the speed control is turned to “0”.

NOTE: To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.

Attach the bowl: Place the bowl on

3 the bowl clamping plate and gently turn it in a clockwise direction to lock it into place.

Raise the motor head: Slide the locking lever to the unlock position

2 and lift the motor head. Once lifted, slide the locking lever to the lock position to keep the motor head up.

Attach any accessory: Slip the accessory onto the beater shaft and

4 press upward as far as possible. Turn the accessory counterclockwise to hook the accessory over the pin on the shaft.

USING THE STAND MIXER

ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER

Lower the motor head: Slide the locking lever to the unlock position and guide the motor head down.

5 Make sure motor head is completely down, then slide the locking lever to the lock position. Before mixing, test lock by attempting to raise motor head.

(OPTIONAL) To adjust beater to bowl clearance: Tilt the motor head back; then, using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the screw slightly counterclockwise (left) to raise the beater, or clockwise (right) to lower the beater. Adjust the beater so that it just clears the surface of the bowl. If you over adjust the screw, the bowl lock lever may not lock into place.

(OPTIONAL) Place the pouring shield*:

Slide the pouring shield* from the front of the Stand Mixer over the bowl until the pouring shield* is centered. The bottom rim of the pouring shield* fits inside of the bowl. The pouring chute will be just to the

right of the attachment hub as you face the Stand Mixer.

IMPORTANT: 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, you can easily correct the clearance.

NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike on the bottom or sides 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 the whip may wear.

8 | USING THE STAND MIXER

USING THE STAND MIXER

OPERATING THE STAND MIXER

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 the Stand Mixer into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Always set the speed control lever on

1 lowest speed to start, then gradually increase speed to avoid splashing ingredients. See the “Speed control guide” to select the best speed for your recipe.

NOTE: To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.

Do not scrape the bowl while the Stand Mixer is operating. The bowl and beaters are designed to provide

2 thorough mixing without frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

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.

AMOUNT	SPEED
1 egg white	GRADUALLY to 10
2 or more egg whites	GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping stages

With your KitchenAid Stand Mixer, egg whites whip quickly. Avoid over whipping.

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.

AMOUNT	SPEED
less than 3/4 cup (200 ml)	GRADUALLY to 10
more than 3/4 cup (200 ml)	GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping stages

Watch cream closely during whipping. Because your KitchenAid Stand Mixer whips so quickly, there are just a few seconds between whipping stages.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

MIXING TIPS

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 over beating.

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” section.

Adding ingredients

The standard procedure to follow when mixing most batters, especially cake and cookie batters, is to add:

1/3 dry ingredients 1/2 liquid ingredients 1/3 dry ingredients 1/2 liquid ingredients 1/3 dry ingredients

Use Speed 1 until ingredients have been blended. Then gradually increase to desired speed.

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, the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See the “Beater to bowl clearance” section.

Cake mixes

When preparing packaged cake mixes, use 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

Solid materials should be folded in the last few seconds of mixing on Speed 1. 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.

Kneading yeast doughs

ALWAYS use the dough hook to mix and knead yeast doughs. Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for unit failure.

Do not use recipes calling for more than 7 cups (900 g) all-purpose flour or 6 cups (800 g) whole-wheat flour when making dough in a 4.28 L bowl.

Do not use recipes calling for more than 8 cups (1 kg) all-purpose flour or 6 cups (800 g) whole-wheat flour when making dough in a 4.8 L bowl.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE STAND MIXER

1 Do not use household/commercial cleaners. Wipe off the beater shaft frequently to remove any accumulation of residue. Do not immerse in water.

Bowl, pouring shield*, white flat beater, and white dough hook may

2 be washed in a dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly in hot sudsy water and rinse completely before drying. Do not store beaters on shaft.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Stand Mixer should malfunction, please check the following:

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 unit. 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 “Assembling the Stand Mixer” section and adjust the beater to bowl clearance.

4. The speed control lever does not move smoothly or easily. To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.

5. If your Stand Mixer should 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 off the Stand Mixer for 10-15 seconds, then turn it back

on. If the Stand Mixer still does not start, allow it to cool for 30 minutes before turning it back on.

If the problem cannot be corrected: See the “Warranty and service” section. Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
