Frequently Asked Questions - 5KSM6521XEER KITCHENAID

How do I attach the bowl and beater?

Ensure the speed control is set to '0' and unplug the mixer. Lower the bowl lift lever, place the bowl on the locating pins, and press down until it snaps. Slide the beater onto the shaft and push upward, then turn right to hook it over the pin.

How do I adjust the beater-to-bowl clearance?

With the mixer unplugged and bowl lowered, turn the adjustment screw slightly counterclockwise to raise the beater or clockwise to lower it. Adjust so the flat beater just clears the bowl bottom.

Can I wash the parts in the dishwasher?

The bowl, flat beater, and dough hook are dishwasher safe. The wire whip, pouring shield, and lid must be hand washed in hot sudsy water.

Why does the mixer stop during use?

The mixer has an overload protector. If it stops, turn it off, unplug it, allow it to cool for 30 minutes, then try again. Ensure you are not exceeding the capacity.

What is the Soft Start feature?

Soft Start automatically starts the mixer at a lower speed to reduce ingredient splashing and flour dust, then quickly increases to the selected speed.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, do not use an extension cord. If the cord is too short, have an electrician install a grounded outlet near the appliance.

What attachments are compatible?

KitchenAid optional attachments such as food grinders, pasta makers, and vegetable slicers can be used via the attachment hub on the mixer head.

How do I remove the beater?

Turn speed to '0', unplug, lower the bowl. Press the beater upward, turn it left, then pull it off the shaft.

Is the mixer noisy?

Some noise is normal, especially under heavy loads. A pungent odor may also occur when new; this is typical for electric motors.

Where can I get service in the UK?

Contact KitchenAid UK toll-free at 0800 988 1266 or email via www.kitchenaid.co.uk. Service must be done by an Authorized Service Center.

4 Slip a beater (flat, wire whip, or dough hook) onto the beater shaft and press upward as far as possible. Turn beater to the right, hooking it over the pin on the beater shaft.

5 If using the pouring shield*, from the front of the Stand Mixer, slide the pouring shield over the bowl until it is centered. The bottom rim of the pouring shield should fit within the bowl.

6 Raise the bowl into mixing position by rotating the bowl lift lever counterclockwise to the straight up position. The bowl must always be in the raised position when mixing.
NOTE: Rotate the pouring 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.

ASSEMBLING THE STAND MIXER

Adjusting 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.

Turn speed control to "0" (OFF), and unplug Stand Mixer.

2 Lower the bowl to the down position.

3 Turn beater height adjustment screw (A) slightly counterclockwise (left) to raise the flat beater; or turn clockwise (right) to lower the flat beater. Adjust so that the flat beater just clears the surface of the bowl. If you over adjust the screw, the bowl lift lever may not lock in place.

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, the coating may wear off the flat beater (for coated beaters) or wires on the wire whip may wear.

Scraping sides of bowl may be necessary under certain conditions regardless of beater adjustment. The Stand Mixer must be stopped to scrape bowl or damage to Stand Mixer may occur.

All speeds have the Soft Start feature that automatically starts the Stand Mixer at a lower speed to help avoid ingredient splash-out and "flour puff" at start-up, then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Stand Mixer use

WARNING

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.

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.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

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.

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.

Mixing tips

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. Use Speed I 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.

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.

ATTACHMENTS

KitchenAid optional attachments are designed to assure long life. The attachment power shaft and attachment hub socket are of a square design, to eliminate any possibility of slipping during the transmission of power to the attachment. The hub and shaft housings are tapered to assure a snug fit, even after prolonged use and wear. KitchenAid attachments require no extra power unit to operate them; the power unit is built-in.

* Optional attachment, not part of the mixer.
** Style may vary depending on model.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD ALWAYS BE SURE TO UNPLUG MIXER BEFORE CLEANING TO AVOID POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Wipe mixer with a damp cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER. Wipe off beater shaft frequently, removing any residue that may accumulate.
