Frequently Asked Questions - Gourmet KPEXTA KITCHENAID

How to use the KitchenAid Gourmet KPEXTA stand mixer?

Make sure the bowl is locked and the head is lowered. Plug in the appliance, select the desired speed with the speed control. Always start at low speed to avoid splashes, then gradually increase.

How to clean the bowl and accessories?

The stainless steel bowl and accessories (whisk, hook, beater) can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with soapy water. Dry them thoroughly before storing. The motor unit should be wiped with a damp cloth, never immersed.

Can I use additional accessories with this model?

Yes, the accessory port on top of the mixer allows you to attach optional accessories like a meat grinder, grater, or citrus juicer. Make sure they are compatible with the Gourmet KPEXTA model.

What to do if the mixer stops during use?

The appliance has a safety automatic shut-off in case of overload. Unplug it, let it cool for a few minutes, reduce the amount of ingredients in the bowl, and try again. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to change speed while operating?

Use the speed slider located on the side of the appliance. Move it gently from position 1 (slow) to 10 (fast). It is advisable to reduce speed before adding dry ingredients to avoid splattering.

Can I knead bread with this mixer?

Yes, use the included dough hook. For bread dough, do not exceed speed 2 and respect the maximum quantities (about 500 g of flour). Kneading usually takes 5 to 10 minutes.

Is the mixer noisy?

The noise level is moderate for a stand mixer. At low speed, it is quiet; at high speed, the noise is comparable to a blender. If you hear an unusual noise (grinding), check that the accessories are properly attached.

How to attach the dough hook or whisk?

Make sure the appliance is unplugged. Lift the head, insert the accessory into the rotary outlet by turning slightly until it clicks. Lower the head and lock it. Never insert an accessory while the mixer is running.

Can I wash the motor unit with water?

No, the motor unit should never be immersed in water or put in the dishwasher. Clean it with a slightly damp soft cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Where to find spare parts for the KitchenAid Gourmet KPEXTA?

Spare parts (bowl, whisk, hook, etc.) are available on the official KitchenAid website, from authorized dealers, or through specialized platforms. Always use original parts to ensure safety and performance.

To Use Food Grinder Attachment

WARNING

Rotating Blade Hazard Always use food pusher. Keep fingers out of openings. Keep away from children. Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts.

1. Cut food into small strips or pieces and feed them into hopper. Meat should be cut into long narrow strips.
2. Turn mixer to Speed 4 and feed food into hopper using combination food pusher/wrench.

NOTE: Liquid may appear in hopper when processing large amounts of high moisture foods such as tomatoes or grapes. To drain liquid, continue to operate mixer. To avoid damage to mixer, do not process additional food until liquid has drained from hopper.

Coarse Plate – Use for grinding raw or cooked meats, firm vegetables, dried fruits and cheese.

Fine Plate – Use for grinding raw meat, cooked meats for spreads and breadcrumbs.

Grinding Meat – For better mix and more tender results, grind beef twice. Best texture results from grinding very cold or partially frozen meat. Fatty meats should be ground only once.

Grinding Bread – To grind bread for crumbs, be sure that bread is either oven dried thoroughly to remove all moisture, or not dried at all. Partially dried bread may jam the Food Grinder.

NOTE: Very hard, dense foods such as totally dried homemade bread should not be ground in the Food Grinder. Homemade bread should be ground fresh and then oven or air-dried.

To Loosen Ring – If ring is too tight to remove by hand, slip the combination food pusher/wrench over the grooves and turn counterclockwise.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the food grinder attachment, do not use combination food pusher/wrench to tighten ring to grinder body.

• Grinder body
• Grinder worm
• Ring
• Combination food pusher/wrench The following parts should be hand washed in warm, sudsy water and dried thoroughly:

NOTE: The combination food pusher/wrench (G) is used for removal of ring (F) only. Do not use it to tighten ring (F).

NOTE: Use Sausage Stuffer (model SSA) with Food Grinder (model FGA).

To Use Sausage Stuffer Attachment

WARNING

Rotating Blade Hazard Always use food pusher. Keep fingers out of openings. Keep away from children. Failure to do so can result in amputation or cuts.

Use the small Sausage Stuffer tube (E) to make breakfast sausage with casings and the large Sausage Stuffer tube (D) to prepare Bratwurst, Italian or Polish sausage with casings or breakfast sausage without casings.

1. If using natural casings, it's recommended to first soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess salt, then rinse several times by running cold water through the entire length of casing.
2. Grease stuffer tube with shortening and slide, 3 to 4 feet (91 to 122 cm) of casing onto stuffer tube.
3. Tie the end of the casing with string to seal.
4. Turn mixer to Speed 4 and slowly feed ground meat mixture into hopper using the combination food pusher/wrench.
5. Hold the tied end of the casing in one hand and guide meat mixture as it fills casing.

NOTE: Do not pack meat mixture too tightly into casing; allow enough room to twist sausage into smaller links and for expansion during cooking. If an air pocket develops, pierce with a toothpick or skewer. To complete a recipe using several pounds of meat, it may be necessary to repack the Sausage Stuffer with casing several times to use all of the ground meat mixture.
