USING THE STAND MIXER

PLACING/REMOVING THE POURING SHIELD*

*Included with select models only. Also available as an optional accessory.

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 clearance easily.

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.

Turn speed control to “0”. Unplug Stand

Mixer.

To place pouring shield: Turn speed

control to “0”. Unplug Stand Mixer.

Attach your chosen accessory. See the

“Attaching/removing the flat beater, wire

whip, or dough hook” section.

Lift motor head. Turn screw slightly

counterclockwise (left) to raise flat beater

or clockwise (right) to lower flat beater.

Make adjustment with flat beater, so

it just clears surface of bowl. If you

overadjust the screw, the bowl lock lever

may not lock into place.

From the front of the Stand Mixer, slide

the pouring shield over the bowl until the

shield is centred. The bottom rim of the

shield should fit within the bowl.

USING THE STAND MIXER

USING THE POURING SHIELD*

mixing, as well as to easily pour ingredients in the bowl while mixing.

To remove pouring shield: Turn speed

control to “0”. Unplug Stand Mixer.

Lift the front of the pouring shield clear

of the bowl rim and pull forward. Remove

the shield. The pouring chute will be just

to the right of the attachment hub asyou

through the pouring chute.

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS

KitchenAid offers a wide range of optional attachments such as food grinders or

pasta makers. They may be attached to the Stand Mixer attachment power shaft,

as shown here.

OPERATING THE SPEED CONTROL

NOTE: The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended

mixing time, the top of the unit may become hot. This is normal.

Plug Stand Mixer into proper electrical

outlet. Always set speed control lever

on lowest speed to start, then gradually

increase speed to avoid splashing

ingredients. See “Speed control guide”

chart.

To attach: Turn speed control to “0”.

Unplug Stand Mixer.

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.

Loosen attachment knob by turning it

counterclockwise. Remove attachment

hub cover.
