Commercial Stand Mixer Speed Control and Lever Guard

The Soft Start feature minimises 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 the “Speed Control Guide�”

Auto-Reset Motor Protection

If the Stand Mixer stops due to overload, slide the speed control lever to "0" (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�”

*Included with select models� Picture may vary from product depending on model�

Removable Pouring Chute* The removable pouring chute is easily attached to the front of the guard as shown in the illustration below� It provides a convenient way to add ingredients to the Stand Mixer bowl�

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

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�

be adjusted to avoid overbeating� With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other stand mixers�

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” in the “Assembling Your Bowl Lift Stand Mixer” section�

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�

USING THE BOWL GUARD

If your Stand Mixer comes with a bowl guard, make sure that the guard is returned to the down position before beginning to use the Stand Mixer� The Stand Mixer will not run if the bowl guard is not in the proper position�

A

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 the “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 the “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

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�
