Using Your KitchenAid?? Attachments
Flat Beater for normal to heavy mixtures:
Wire Whip for mixtures that need air incorporated:
Dough Hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs:
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. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other mixers.
Mixer Use
NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while 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 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.
If the mixer becomes overloaded, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. See

Speed
Stir STIRRINGFor 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.
Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for unit failure.

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.
2. Place bowl lift handle in down position.
3. Attach flat beater.
4. Adjust so flat beater just clears
A
bottom surface of bowl when in lifted position by turning screw (A) clockwise to raise the bowl and counterclockwise 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 handle in up position to check clearance.
6.Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.
NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike 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.

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?? mixer works more quickly than other mixers. In general, mixing a cake with the KitchenAid?? 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, use the Speed Control Guide on page 9.
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.
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??? on page 10.
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.
