Mixing Time
Your KitchenAid
®
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 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.
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.
