PLACING/REMOVING THE POURING SHIELD*
1
To place pouring shield: Turn speed
control to “0”. Unplug Stand Mixer.
Attach your chosen accessory. See the
“Attaching/removing the flat beater,
wire whip, or dough hook” section.
2
From the front of the Stand Mixer,
slide the pouring shield over the
bowl until the shield is centred. The
bottom rim of the shield should fit
within the bowl.
*Included with select models only. Also available as an optional accessory.
BEATER TO BOWL CLEARANCE
1Turn speed control to “0”. Unplug
Stand Mixer. 2
Lift motor head. Turn screw slightly
counterclockwise (left) to raise flat
beater or clockwise (right) to lower
flat beater. Make adjustment with
flat beater, so it just clears surface
of bowl. If you over adjust the screw,
the bowl lock lever may not lock
into place.
Your Stand Mixer is adjusted at the factory so the at beater just clears the bottom of the
bowl. If, for any reason, the at beater hits the bottom of the bowl or is too far away from
the bowl, you can correct clearance easily.
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, coating may wear off the beater or wires on whip may wear.

USING THE POURING SHIELD*

For best results, rotate the shield
so the motor head covers the
U-shaped gap in the shield. The
pouring chute will be just to the
right of the attachment hub as
you face the Stand Mixer.
2Pour the ingredients into the bowl
through the pouring chute.
Use the pouring shield to avoid having ingredients splashing out of the bowl when
mixing, as well as to easily pour ingredients in the bowl while mixing.
*Included with select models only. Also available as an optional accessory.

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
KitchenAid offers a wide range of optional attachments such as food grinders or
pasta makers. They may be attached to the Stand Mixer attachment power shaft,
as shown here.
1To attach: Turn speed control
to “0”. Unplug Stand Mixer. 2Loosen attachment knob by turning
it counterclockwise. Remove
attachment hub cover.
OPERATING THE SPEED CONTROL
1
Plug Stand Mixer into proper
electrical outlet. Always set speed
control lever on lowest speed to
start, then gradually increase speed
to avoid splashing ingredients. See
“Speed control guide” chart.
2
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.
NOTE: The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended
mixing time, the top of the unit may become hot. This is normal.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS | 19
EGG WHITES
WHIPPED CREAM
Place room temperature egg whites in clean, dry bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip.
To avoid splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to desired stage.
AMOUNT SPEED
1 egg white GRADUALLY to 10
2 or more egg whites GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping stages
With your KitchenAid Stand Mixer, egg whites whip quickly. Avoid over whipping.
Pour cold whipping cream into chilled bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip. To avoid
splashing, gradually turn to designated speed and whip to desired stage.
AMOUNT SPEED
less than 200 ml (3/4 cup) GRADUALLY to 10
more than 200 ml (3/4 cup) GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping stages
Watch cream closely during whipping. Because your KitchenAid Stand Mixer whips so
quickly, there are just a few seconds between whipping stages.
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
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 over beating.
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
The standard procedure to follow when
mixing most batters, especially cake and
cookie batters, is to add:
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients
Use Speed 1 until ingredients have been
blended. Then gradually increase to
desired speed.
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, the
beater is not far enough into the bowl.
See the “Beater to bowl clearance”
section.
Cake mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use
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
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 our 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.
Kneading yeast doughs
Always use the dough hook to mix and
knead yeast doughs. Use Speed 2 to mix
or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other
speed creates high potential for unit
failure.
Do not use recipes calling for more than
900 g (7 cups) all-purpose our or 800 g
(6 cups) whole-wheat our when making
dough in a 4.3 L bowl.
Do not use recipes calling for more than
1 kg (8 cups) all-purpose our or 800 g
(6 cups) whole-wheat our when making
dough in a 4.8 L bowl.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Please read the following before calling
your service centre.
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 unit. 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 the “Beater to bowl
clearance” section.
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 off the Stand Mixer for 10-15
seconds, then turn it back on. If
the Stand 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 “Warranty and
