STAND MIXER SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always

be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not put Stand Mixer in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

4. Unplug Stand Mixer from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking

off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, and clothing, as well as

spatulas and other utensils away from beater during operation to reduce

the risk of injury to persons and/or damage to the Stand Mixer.

6. Do not operate Stand Mixer with a damaged cord or plug or after the Stand

Mixer malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call the

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Volts: 120 A.C.

Hertz: 60 Hz

NOTE: The power rating for your Stand

Mixer is printed on the serial plate.

Do not use an extension cord. If the

power supply cord is too short, have a

qualied electrician or serviceman install

an outlet near the appliance.

The maximum rating is based on the

attachment that draws the greatest

load (power). Other recommended

attachments may draw signicantly

less power.

USING THE STAND MIXER | 5

All speeds have the Soft Start®feature

that automatically starts the Stand Mixer

at a lower speed to help avoid ingredient

splash-out and “our puff” at start-up, then

quickly increases to the selected speed for

optimal performance.

SPEED CONTROL GUIDE - 10 SPEED STAND MIXERS

USING THE STAND MIXER

SPEED USED FOR ATTACHMENT DESCRIPTION

Stir Stirring For slow stirring, combining, mashing, starting

all mixing procedures. Use to add ﬂour and dry

ingredients to batter, and add liquids to dry

ingredients. Do not use STIR speed to mix

or knead yeast doughs.

2 Slow Mixing,

Kneading

For slow mixing, mashing, faster stirring. Use

to mix and knead yeast doughs, heavy batters,

and candies; start mashing potatoes or other

vegetables; cut shortening into ﬂour; mix thin

or splashy batters.

4 Mixing, Beating

For mixing semi-heavy batters, such as cookies.

Use to combine sugar and shortening and to

add sugar to egg whites for meringues. Medium

USING THE STAND MIXER | 7

USING THE STAND MIXER

Test Beater to Bowl Clearance.

Check the proximity of the Flat

Beater to the bowl. The beater

should just clear the bottom of the

bowl but should not touch it. Plug

Stand Mixer into a grounded 3

prong outlet. Turn Stand Mixer ON

and test each speed making sure

the beater does not touch the bowl

during operation. If the beater is

too far away from the bottom, or is

hitting the bowl, proceed to step 6

to make the necessary adjustments.

Adjusting your Beater to Bowl

Clearance. Unplug Stand Mixer.

Lower the bowl to the down

position. Adjust the Beater Height

Adjustment Screw to lower or raise

the bowl. Repeat Steps 2-5

with the Wire Whip and Spiral

Dough Hook. Your Stand Mixer is

now set up and ready for use. Ce

mélangeur sur socle est désormais

installé et prêt à être utilisé.

Raise Bowl Lower Bowl

IMPORTANT: The Stand Mixer may

become warm during use. Under heavy

loads with extended mixing time periods,

you may not be able to comfortably

touch the top of the Stand Mixer. This is

normal. The Stand Mixer motor may emit

a pungent odor during initial operation.

This is common with electric motors.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS | 9

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

MIXING TIME

MIXER USE

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 over beating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with

other stand mixers.

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.

NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while Stand

Mixer is operating.

Adding Ingredients

Always add ingredients as close to side of

bowl as possible, not directly into moving

beater.

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 keep 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

speed only after mixture has thickened.

NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of

bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the

beater is not far enough into the bowl.

See the “Using the Stand Mixer” section.

W10410027D_EN_v07.indd 9 7/9/15 2:27 PM

10 | TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Place room temperature egg whites in

clean, dry bowl. Attach Bowl and Wire

Whip. To avoid splashing, gradually turn

to designated speed and whip to desired

stage. See chart below.

AMOUNT SPEED

1 egg white ................GRADUALLY to 10

2-4 egg whites...............GRADUALLY to 8

6 or more egg whites......GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping Stages

With your KitchenAid®Stand Mixer, egg

whites whip quickly. So watch 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.

Stiff but not Dry

Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire whip

is removed. Whites are uniform in color

and glisten.

Stiff and Dry

Sharp, stiff peaks form when wire

whip is removed. Whites are speckled

and dull in appearance.

WHIPPING TIPS FOR EGG WHITES

WHIPPING TIPS FOR WHIPPED CREAM

Pour cold whipping cream into chilled

bowl. Attach Bowl and Wire Whip.

To avoid splashing, gradually turn to

designated speed and whip to desired

stage. See chart below.

AMOUNT SPEED

1/4 cup (50 mL) ............... GRADUALLY to 10

1/2 cup (125 mL) ............. GRADUALLY to 10

1 cup (250 mL)................. GRADUALLY to 8

1 pint (500 mL) ................ GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping Stages

Watch cream closely during whipping.

Because your KitchenAid®Stand Mixer

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 Stainless

Steel Whip is removed. Can be folded

into other ingredients when making

desserts and sauces.

Stiff

Cream stands in stiff, sharp

peaks when Wire Whip is

removed. Use for topping on

cakes or desserts, or lling

for cream puffs.
