• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Troubleshooting Problems

Please read the following before calling your service center.

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 Stand Mixer. 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 “Beater to Bowl Clearance”.

If your Stand Mixer should malfunction or 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 the Stand Mixer off for 10-15 seconds, then turn it back on. If the mixer still does not start, allow it to cool for 30 minutes before turning it back on.

If the problem is not due to one of the above items, see the KitchenAid Warranty. Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer, as they do not provide service.

*Motor horsepower for our mixer motors was measured using a dynamometer, a machine laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 1.3 horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower rating of the motor itself and not the mixer’s horsepower output to the mixer bowl. This robust motor, the backbone of our new mixer, delivers .44 HP to the bowl, enabling your mixer to deliver consistent power to small and large loads with less heat build-up; resulting in years of dependable mixing. When combined with and guided by our new advanced motor control board, this is our longest lasting and most efficient motor yet. Simply put, our new, highly efficient, special purpose motor delivers the power you need when you need it.

Mixing Time

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 overbeating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other stand mixers.

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 Stand Mixer 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 Stand Mixer. This is normal.

If the Stand Mixer becomes overloaded, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. See “Auto-Reset Motor Protection” in “Assembling Your Bowl Lift Stand Mixer” section.

Speed Control Guide – 10 Speed Stand Mixers

All speeds feature Soft start operation, which minimizes splash-out and flour puff. The mixer will start slowly before increasing to the selected speed.

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, and 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 speed for cake mixes.

6| BEATING, CREAMING| For medium-fast beating (creaming) or whipping.

Use to finish mixing cake, doughnut, and other batters. High speed for cake mixes.

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.

NOTE: Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast dough or fondants. Use of any other speed with heavy doughs may cause mixer to stop rotating to limit mixer damage. This is normal operation. If this occurs, turn the speed selector to off, and then turn back on to a lower speed.

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 the clearance easily.

1. Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect power.
2. Place bowl lift lever in down position.
3. Attach flat beater.
4. Adjust so flat beater just clears bottom surface of bowl when in lifted position by turning screw (A) counterclockwise to raise the bowl and clockwise to lower the bowl. Just a slight turn is all that is required: the screw will not rotate more than 1/4 turn (90 degrees) in either direction. (The full range of adjustment is 1/2 turn, or 180 degrees.)
5. Place bowl lift lever in up position to check clearance.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.

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 beater or whip may wear.

Using the Bowl Guard*

If your Stand Mixer comes with a bowl guard, make sure that the guard is returned to the down position before beginning to use the Stand Mixer. The Stand Mixer will not run if the bowl guard is not in the proper position.

*Included with select models. Picture may vary from product depending on model.

Mixing Tips

Using Your Recipes with the Mixer

There are a number of methods that can be used for making cake with your KitchenAid Stand Mixer.

For example, the “quick mix” method (sometimes referred to as the “dump” method) is ideal for simple cakes, such as yellow cake and white cake. This method calls for combining dry ingredients with most or all liquid ingredients in one step. More elaborate cakes, such as a torte, should be prepared using the traditional cake mixing method. With this method, sugar and the shortening, butter, or margarine are thoroughly mixed (creamed) before other ingredients are added. For all cakes, mixing times may change because your KitchenAid Stand Mixer works more quickly than other mixers. In general, mixing a cake with the KitchenAid Stand Mixer will take about half the time called for in most cake recipes.

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, see “Speed Control Guide.”

Adding Ingredients

Always add ingredients as close to side of bowl as possible, not directly into moving beater.

NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of  bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See “Beater to Bowl Clearance.”

Cake Mixes

When preparing packaged cake mixes, use Speed 2 for low speed, 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

In general, 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.

Basic White Bread

1/3 cup (80 mL) low-fat milk

2 tbs (30 mL) sugar
2 tsp (10 mL) salt
2 tbs (30 mL) butter or margarine

11/2 packages active dry yeast

1 cup (240 mL) warm water (105°F to 115°F) [40°C to 46° C] 4 cups (950 mL) all-purpose flour

Place milk, sugar, salt, and butter in small saucepan. Heat over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.

Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 4½ cups (1 L) flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute.

Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup (120 mL) at a time, and mix about 1-1/2 minutes, or until dough starts to clean sides of bowl. Knead on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch.

Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a loaf, and place in greased 8½ x 4½ x 2½” (21.25 x 11.25 x 6.25 cm) baking pans. Cover. Let rise in warm place, free from draft, about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.

Yield: 32 servings (16 slices per loaf).

Care and Cleaning

• Unplug the Stand Mixer before cleaning or disconnect power.
• Stainless steel bowl, flat beater, wire whip, and spiral 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 shaft.
• The bowl is dishwasher-safe. It can also be hand-washed in hot sudsy water, rinsed thoroughly, and dried.
• Wipe the Stand Mixer with a clean damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads and do not immerse the Stand Mixer in water.
• Wipe the beater shaft frequently, removing any residue that may accumulate.

To Remove the Bowl Support for Cleaning

1. Unplug Stand Mixer or disconnect power.

2. Remove the Stand Mixer base by removing the 3 screws located on the bottom of the mixer. Remove the vent screen and the mixer base.
