TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Adding Ingredients
Always add ingredients as close to side of
bowl as possible, not directly into moving
beater. The pouring chute 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.
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.
Your KitchenAid 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.
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.
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 time
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.

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.
