PowerK ead™ Spiral Dough Hook for mixi g a d k eadi g

yeast doughs:

breads coffee cakes

rolls buns

pizza dough

Mixi g 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.

WARNING

Injury Hazard

Unplug mixer before touching

beaters.

Failure to do so can result in

broken bones, cuts or bruises.

Bowl, white flat beater and white

spiral 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 spiral dough

hook and burnished flat beater

should be hand washed and dried

immediately. Do not wash wire

whip, burnished spiral dough hook

Care a d Clea i g

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

(The full range of adjustment is

1⁄2turn, or 180 degrees.)

5. lace bowl-lift handle 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, coating may wear off the

beater or wires on whip may

wear.

Beater to Bowl Cleara ce

bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of the
