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®Mixer will mix faster

and more thoroughly than most

other electric 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 mixers.

Mixer Use

NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while

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 unit off before

scraping.

The 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

unit. This is normal.
