Troubleshooting Problems
Please read the following before
calling your service center.
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”.
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 10-15
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.
If the problem is not due to one of the
above items, see the KitchenAid
®
Warranty. Do not return the Stand Mixer
to the retailer, as they do not provide
service.

Commercial Stand Mixer SPEED
Control and Lever Guard
The Soft Start™ feature minimizes
splash-out by starting the mixer slowly
before increasing to the selected
speed. To further reduce the potential
for splash-out, always begin mixing
using the STIR speed, then gradually
move to higher speeds as needed. See
“Speed Control Guide”.
Auto-Reset Motor Protection
If the Stand Mixer stops due to overload,
slide the speed control lever to OFF.
After a few minutes, the stand mixer
will automatically reset. Slide the Speed
Control Lever to the desired speed
and continue mixing. If the Stand Mixer
does not restart, see “Troubleshooting
Problems”.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire or electrical shock.

Using Your KitchenAid® Attachments
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
Mixing Time
Your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer will mix
faster and more thoroughly than most
other electric stand mixers. Therefore,
the mixing time in most recipes must
be adjusted to avoid overbeating. With
cakes, for example, beating time may be
half as long as with other stand mixers.
Mixer Use
NOTE: 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.
Turn Stand Mixer off before scraping.
The Stand 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 Stand
Mixer. This is normal.
If the Stand Mixer becomes overloaded,
it will automatically shut off to prevent
damage. See “Auto-Reset Motor
Protection”.
11
Speed Control Guide – 10 Speed Stand Mixers
All speeds feature Soft Start™ operation, which minimizes splash-out and flour puff.
The mixer will start slowly before increasing to the selected speed.
Number of Speed
Speed
Stir 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.
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.
6 BEATING, For medium-fast beating (creaming) or
CREAMING whipping. Use to finish mixing cake,
doughnut, and other batters. High speed
for cake mixes.
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.
NOTE: Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high
potential for Stand Mixer failure.
12
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. Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect
power.
2. Place bowl lift lever in down position.
3. Attach flat beater.
4. Adjust so flat beater just clears bottom
surface of bowl when in lifted position
by turning screw (A) counterclockwise
to raise the bowl and clockwise to
lower the bowl. Just a slight turn is all
that is required: the screw will not
rotate more than 1⁄4 turn (90 degrees)
in either direction. (The full range of
adjustment is 1⁄ 2 turn, or 180 degrees.)
5. Place bowl lift lever in up position to
check clearance.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
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, the beater or whip
may wear.

Mixing Tips
Using Your Recipes with the Mixer
There are a number of methods that
can be used for making cake with your
KitchenAid
®
Stand Mixer.
For example, the “quick mix” method
(sometimes referred to as the “dump”
method) is ideal for simple cakes, such as
yellow cake and white cake. This method
calls for combining dry ingredients with
most or all liquid ingredients in one step.
More elaborate cakes, such as a 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
®
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
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
“Speed Control Guide”.
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side of
bowl as possible, not directly into moving
beater.
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”.
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
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.

Care and Cleaning
• Unplug the Stand Mixer before
cleaning or disconnect power.
• Stainless steel bowl, at beater,
wire whip, and spiral dough hook
may be washed in an automatic
dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly
in hot sudsy water and rinse completely
before drying. Do not store beaters on
shaft.
• The bowl is dishwasher-safe. It can
also be hand-washed in hot sudsy
water, rinsed thoroughly, and dried.
• Wipe the Stand Mixer with a clean
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleansers or scouring pads and do
not immerse the Stand Mixer in
water.
• Wipe the beater shaft frequently,
removing any residue that may
accumulate.
To remove the Bowl Support
for cleaning
1. Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect
power.
2. Remove the Stand Mixer base by
removing the 3 screws located on
the bottom of the mixer. Remove
the vent screen and the mixer base.
3. Remove the nut from the lifter rod
located inside the column, then remove
the washer and spring.
NOTE: Note the order that they were
assembled (the washer goes between
the spring and nut), for reassembly.
4. Loosen the screw holding the
bowl clip to the front of the bowl
support – it is not necessary to
remove the screw all of the way.
This allows the bowl support to
slide down.
