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.

1. Turn the speed control to “O”.
2. Unplug stand mixer or disconnect power.
3. Lift motor head.
4. Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY counter clockwise (left) to raise flat beater or clockwise (right) to lower flat beater.
5. Make adjustments with flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl. If you over adjust the screw, the bowl lock lever may not lock into place.

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, the coating may wear off the beater or wires on whip may wear.

Care and Cleaning

• The bowl, white flat beater, and white dough hook may be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly in hot sudsy water and rinse completely before drying. Do not store beaters on the shaft.
• NOTE: Always be sure to unplug the Stand Mixer before cleaning. Wipe the Stand Mixer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use household/commercial cleaners. Do not immerse in water. Wipe off the beater shaft frequently, removing any residue that may accumulate.

Planetary Mixing Action

• During operation, the flat beater moves around the stationary bowl, at the same time turning in the opposite direction on its axis. The diagram shows the complete coverage of the bowl made by the path of the beater.
• 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 overbeating.

Stand Mixer Use

• WARNING: Injury Hazard Unplug mixer before touching beaters. Failure to do so can result in broken bones, cuts or bruises.
• 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 unit 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 unit. This is normal.

Speed Control

Speed Control Guide – 10 Speed Mixers

All speeds have the Soft Start feature which automatically starts the Stand Mixer at a lower speed to help prevent ingredient splash-out and “flour puff” at startup then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.

Number of Speed

Stir Speed| STIR| 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| 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. Use with Can Opener attachment.
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 speed for cake mixes. Use with: Food Grinder, Rotor Slicer/Shredder, Pasta Roller, and Fruit/Vegetable Strainer.
6| BEATING, CREAMING| For medium-fast beating (creaming) or whipping. Use to finish mixing cake, doughnuts, and other batters. High speed for cake mixes. Use with Citrus Juicer attachment.
8| FAST BEATING, WHIPPING| For whipping cream, egg whites, and boiled frostings.
10| FAST WHIPPING| For whipping small amounts of cream, egg whites or for final whipping of mashed potatoes. Use with Pasta Maker and Grain Mill attachments.
NOTE: Will not maintain fast speeds under heavy loads, such as when using Pasta Maker or Grain Mill attachments.

NOTE: Do not exceed Speed 2 when preparing yeast doughs as this may cause damage to the mixer.

Mixing Tips

• Converting Your Recipe for the Stand Mixer
  • The mixing instructions found in this book can be used to convert your favorite recipes for use with your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer.
  • To help determine a mixing procedure, your own observations and experience will be needed. Watch the batter or dough and mix only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe such as “smooth and creamy.” Use the “Speed Control Guide,” Page 9, to help determine proper mixing speeds.
• 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 STIR Speed until ingredients have been blended. Then gradually increase to the desired speed.
  • Always add ingredients as close to side of the bowl as possible, not directly into the moving beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to simplify adding ingredients.
  • NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of the bowl are not thoroughly mixed, the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See “Beater to Bowl Clearance,” page 7.
• 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 STIR Speed. The batter should be thick enough to prevent 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 dough. Use of any other speed creates high potential for unit failure.
  • NEVER use recipes calling for more than 0.87 kg (7 cups) all-purpose flour or 0.81 kg (6 cups) whole wheat flour when making dough with a 4,25 liter (4.5 qrt) tilt-head mixer.
  • NEVER use recipes calling for more than 1.00 kg (8 cups) all-purpose flour or 0.81 kg (6 cups) whole wheat flour when making dough with a 4,8 liter (5 qrt) tilt-head mixer.

Mixing and Kneading Yeast Dough

“Rapid Mix” describes a bread-baking method that calls for dry yeast to be mixed with other dry ingredients before liquid is added. In contrast, the traditional method is to dissolve yeast in warm water.

1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast into bowl, except last 125 to 250 gr (1 to 2 cups) flour.
2. Attach bowl and dough hook. Lock mixer head. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 15 seconds, or until the ingredients are combined.
3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add liquid ingredients to flour mixture and mix 1 to 2 minutes longer.
   • NOTE: If liquid ingredients are added too quickly, they will form a pool around the dough hook and slow down mixing process.
4. Continuing on Speed 2, gently add remaining flour, 60 gr (1⁄2 cup) at a time. Mix until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl, about 2 minutes.
5. When dough clings to hook, knead on Speed 2 for 2 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.
6. Unlock and tilt back head and remove dough from hook. Follow directions in recipe for rising, shaping, and baking. When using the traditional method to prepare a favorite recipe, dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed bowl. Add remaining liquids and dry ingredients, except last 125 to 250 gr (1 to 2 cups) flour. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute, or until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Proceed with Steps 4 through 6. Both methods work equally well for bread preparation. However, the “Rapid Mix” method may be a bit faster and easier for new bread bakers. It is slightly more temperature tolerant because the yeast is mixed with dry ingredients rather than with warm liquid.

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. See chart below.

Whipping Stages

• With your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer, egg whites whip quickly. So, watch carefully to avoid overwhipping. This list tells you what to expect.

Frothy

• Large, uneven air bubbles.

Begins to Hold Shape

• Air bubbles are fine 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 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.

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

• 59 ml (1⁄4 cup) ……..GRADUALLY to 10
• 118 ml (1⁄2 cup) ……GRADUALLY to 10
• 236 ml (1 cup) ……..GRADUALLY to 8
• 472 ml (1 pint )…….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 wire 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 filling for cream puffs.

Attachments and Accessories
