Tips for Great Results

Planetary Mixing Action

During operation,
the Flat Beater
moves around the
stationary bowl,
at the same time
turning in the
opposite direction
on its own axis.
The diagram shows
the complete coverage
of the bowl made by the path of the beater.
The 5KSM7580 and 5KSM7591 models
are rated 500 Watts and use a Direct
Current motor. It is a quiet and highly
efficient motor, combined with a direct
drive transmission system : this enables
to drive 1.3 Horse Power at peak power
(output motor power), enabling fast and
outstanding mixing result even with
heavy dough.

Mixing Time

Your KitchenAid Mixer will mix faster
TM
and more thoroughly than most other
electric mixers. Therefore, the mixing time
in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid
overbeating.
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.

Mixer Use

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
To avoid personal injury and
damage to the beater, do not
attempt to scrape bowl while
mixer is operating; turn mixer
off. Should scraper or other
object drop into bowl, turn
motor OFF before removing.
The bowl and beater are designed to provide
thorough mixing without frequent scraping.
Scraping the bowl once or twice during
mixing is usually sufficient.
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.

Mixing Tips

Adding Ingredients
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. Use Speed 1
until ingredients have been blended. Then
gradually increase to desired speed.
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 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.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom
of bowl are not thoroughly mixed,
then the beater is not far enough into
the bowl. See the "Setting Up Your
Stand Mixer" section.
