USING THE STAND MIXER
OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
KitchenAid offers a wide range of optional attachments such as the spiralizer, pasta cutters, or food grinder that may be attached to the Stand Mixer attachm\
ent power  hub as shown here.

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 3/4 cup (200 ml)    GRADUALLY to 10
more than 3/4 cup (200 ml)   GRADUALLY to 8
Whipping stages
Watch cream closely during whipping. Because your KitchenAid Stand Mixer whips s\
o quickly, there are just a few seconds between whipping stages.

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 “Assembling the Stand Mixer” 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 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.
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 7 cups (900 g) all-purpose flour or 6 cups (800 g) whole-wheat flour when making dough in a 4.28-L bowl.
Do not use recipes calling for more  than 8 cups (1 kg) all-purpose flour or 6 cups (800 g) whole-wheat flour when making dough in a 4.8-L bowl.

							TROUBLESHOOTING  |  15
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your Stand Mixer should malfunction, please check the following:
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 “Assembling the Stand Mixer” section and adjust the beater to bowl clearance.
4. The speed control lever does not move smoothly or easily. To move the speed control lever with ease, lift slightly up  as you move it across the settings in either direction.
5. If your Stand Mixer should 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 cannot be corrected: See the “Warranty and service” section.  Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer; retailers do not provide service.
