TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

STAND 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.
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
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�
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�
**Included with select models only� Also available as an optional accessory�

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�
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 "Beater to bowl
clearance" section�
