USING THE STAND MIXER

SPEED CONTROL GUIDE

All speeds have the Soft Start feature which automatically starts the Stand Mixer
at a lower speed to help avoid ingredient splash-out and "flour puff" at start-up,
then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.
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.
