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 the “Setting Up Your Stand Mixer” section. 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 STIR Speed. 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. Mixing Time Your KitchenAid

Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric stand mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid over beating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other stand mixers. 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. Mixer Use NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while Stand Mixer is operating. All wire whips are stainless steel and should be hand washed only.

Therefore, it will take some practice before you are completely comfortable with the new process. For your convenience, we offer these tips to help you become accustomed to bread-making the KitchenAid

• Always use the PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook to mix and knead yeast doughs.

• Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast dough. Use of any other speed with heavy doughs may cause mixer to stop rotating to limit mixer damage. This is normal operation. If this occurs, turn the speed selector to off, and then turn back on to a lower speed.

• Use a candy or other kitchen thermometer to assure that liquids are at temperature specied in the recipe. Liquids at higher temperature can kill yeast, while liquids at lower temperatures will retard yeast growth.

• Warm all ingredients to room temperature to ensure proper rising of dough. If yeast is to be dissolved in bowl, always warm bowl rst by rinsing with warm water to avoid cooling of liquids.

• Allow bread to rise in a warm place, 80°F to 85°F, free from draft, unless otherwise specied in recipe. *For models with Pouring Shield. W10410027A_.indd 13 12/15/11 11:40 AM14 Warranty KitchenAid
