If the 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.
4. Make adjustment so that the 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.
Congratulations. Your Stand Mixer is now set up and ready for use.
Step 9: To Remove Beaters, Wire Whip, or Dough Hook
Turn speed control to OFF and unplug Stand Mixer. Tilt motor head back. Press beater upward
as far as possible and turn left. Pull beater from beater shaft.

Tips for Great Results
Mixing Tips
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. 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
quickly than other mixers. In general, mixing
a cake with the KitchenAid
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, use the
“Speed Control Guide” section.

Stand Mixer will
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.
English
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side
of bowl as possible, not directly into the
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” 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 prevent the fruit
or nuts from sinking to the bottom of the pan
during baking. Sticky fruits should be dusted
with 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.
NOTE: Please refer to the cookbook
that came with your Stand Mixer for
recommended recipes.

Tips for Great Results
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
whites whip quickly. So watch closely to
avoid over whipping. This list tells you
what to expect.
Frothy
Large, uneven air bubbles.
Begins to Hold Shape
Air bubbles are 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.

Stand Mixer, egg
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
(60 - 175 ml) ....................GRADUALLY to 10
1+ cup
(235 mL+) .......................GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping Stages
Watch the cream closely during whipping.
Because your KitchenAid
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.
