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 the 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 any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessories not recommended or sold by KitchenAid may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
8. Do not use the Stand Mixer outdoors.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of table or counter.
10. Do not let the cord contact hot surfaces, including the stove.
11. Remove the flat beater, wire whip, or spiral dough hook from the Stand Mixer before washing.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Voltage: 120 V
• Frequency: 60 Hz
• Wattage: 275 Watts MAX for models K45, KSM45-KSM80 300 Watts MAX for models KSM85-KSM110 325 Watts MAX for models KSM120-KSM200
  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 qualified 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 significantly less power.

USING THE STAND MIXER

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ACCESSORY

SPEED CONTROL GUIDE

NOTE: The speed control can be set between the speeds listed in the chart to obtain speeds 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 if a finer adjustment is required. Do not exceed Speed 2 when preparing yeast doughs as this may cause damage to the Stand Mixer

NOTE: To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.

ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER

NOTE: To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction

IMPORTANT: Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so that 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 easily correct the clearance.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike on the bottom or sides 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 the whip may wear.

OPERATING THE STAND MIXER

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.

NOTE: To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction

NOTE: The pouring shield* can be used to avoid ingredients splashing out of the bowl when mixing as well as to easily pour ingredients in the bowl while mixing.

DISASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS

KitchenAid offers a wide range of optional attachments such as the spiralizer, pasta cutters, or food grinder that may be attached to the Stand Mixer attachment power hub as shown here.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

EGG WHITES

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.
AMOUNT SPEED

• 1 egg white GRADUALLY to 10
• 2 or more egg whites GRADUALLY to 8

Whipping stages
With your KitchenAid Stand Mixer, egg whites whip quickly. Avoid over- whipping.

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.
AMOUNT SPEED

• less than 3/4 cup (200 ml) GRADUALLY to 10
• more than 3/4 cup (200 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.

MIXING TIPS
Mixing time
Your KitchenAid Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid over-beating.
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.

Adding ingredients
The standard procedure to follow when mixing most batters, especially cake and cookie batters, is to add:

• 1/3 dry ingredients
• 1/2 liquid ingredients
• 1/3 dry ingredients
• 1/2 liquid ingredients
• 1/3 dry ingredients

Use Speed 1 until ingredients have been blended. Then gradually increase to desired speed.
Always add ingredients as close to side of bowl as possible, not directly into moving beater. The pouring shield can be used to simplify adding ingredients.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of bowl are not thoroughly mixed, the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See the “Assembling the Stand Mixer” section.

Cake mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use 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
Solid materials should be folded in the last few seconds of mixing on Speed 1. 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 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.

Kneading yeast doughs
ALWAYS use the dough hook to mix and knead yeast doughs. Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for unit failure.
Do not use recipes calling for more than 7 cups (900 g) all-purpose flour or 6 cups (800 g) whole-wheat flour when making dough in a 4.28-L bowl.
Do not use recipes calling for more than 8 cups (1 kg) all-purpose flour or 6 cups (800 g) whole-wheat flour when making dough in a 4.8-L bowl.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE STAND MIXER
IMPORTANT: Do not wash the wire whip in the dishwasher. Do not immerse the Stand Mixer body in water or other liquids. These parts should be hand-washed.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Stand Mixer should malfunction, please check the following:

1. The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended mixing time periods, you may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the unit. This is normal.
2. The Stand Mixer may emit a pungent odor, especially when new. This is common with electric motors.
3. If the flat beater hits the bowl, stop the Stand Mixer. See the “Assembling the Stand Mixer” section and adjust the beater to bowl clearance.
4. The speed control lever does not move smoothly or easily. To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up as you move it across the settings in either direction.
5. If your Stand Mixer should fail to operate, please check the following:
   • Is the Stand Mixer plugged in?
   • Is the fuse in the circuit to the Stand Mixer in working order? If you have a circuit breaker box, be sure the circuit is closed.
   • Turn off the Stand Mixer for 10-15 seconds, then turn it back on. If the Stand Mixer still does not start, allow it to cool for 30 minutes before turning it back on.

If the problem cannot be corrected: See the “Warranty and service” section. Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
