Troubleshooting Problems
Please read the following before
calling your service center.
If your Stand Mixer should
m alfunction or fail to operate,
please check the following:
1. The Stand Mixer may warm up
during use. Under heavy loads with - Is the Stand Mixer plugged in?
extended mixing time periods, you
may not be able to comfortably
touch the top of the unit. This is
normal.
- 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 the Stand Mixer off for 10-15
seconds, then turn it back on. If the
mixer still does not start, allow it to
cool for 30 minutes before turning it
back on.
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 “Beater
to Bowl Clearance,” page 10.
If the problem cannot be corrected
with the above steps, see the
KitchenAid Warranty on page 3.
Do not return the Stand Mixer to the
retailer – they do not provide service.

Using Your KitchenAid® Attachments
Flat Beater for norm al to heavy m ixtures:
cakes
creamed frostings
candies
biscuits
quick breads
meat loaf
cookies
mashed potatoes
pie pastry
Wire Whip for m ixtures that need air incorporated:
eggs
sponge cakes
angel food cakes
mayonnaise
egg whites
heavy cream
boiled frostings
some candies
Dough Hook for m ixing and kneading yeast doughs:
breads
rolls
coffee cakes
buns
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.
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 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.
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.
If the mixer becomes overloaded, it
will automatically shut off to prevent
damage. See "Auto-Reset Motor
Protection" on page 7.

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
1
more than ⁄
4
turn (90 degrees) in
either direction. The full range of
adjustment is 1⁄
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Adding Nuts, Raisins or
Candied Fruits
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.
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.
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,
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.
such as “smooth and creamy.”
To select the best mixing speeds, use
the Speed Control Guide on page 9.
