Speed Control Guide - 10 Speed Stand Mixers

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.

Number of Speed

STIR
Speed	STIRRING	for slow stirring, combining, mashing,
		starting all mixing procedures. Use to add
		flour and dry ingredients to batter, and add
		liquids to dry ingredients. Do not use STIR
		speed to mix or knead yeast doughs.
2	SLOW MIXING	for slow mixing, mashing, faster stirring.
		Use to mix and knead yeast doughs, heavy
		batters, and candies; start mashing potatoes
		or other vegetables; cut shortening into
		flour; mix thin or splashy batters.
4	MIXING,	for mixing semi-heavy batters, such as
	BEATING	cookies. Use to combine sugar and
		shortening and to add sugar to egg whites
		for meringues. Medium speed for cake
		mixes. Use with: Food Grinder, Rotor Slicer/
		Shredder, Pasta Roller, and Fruit/Vegetable
		Strainer.
6	BEATING,	for medium-fast beating (creaming) or
	CREAMING	whipping. Use to finish mixing cake,
		doughnut, and other batters. High speed
		for cake mixes. Use with Citrus Juicer
		attachment.
8	FAST BEATING,	for whipping cream, egg whites, and
	WHIPPING	boiled frostings.
10	FAST WHIPPING	for whipping small amounts of cream,
		egg whites or for final whipping of mashed

potatoes. Use with Pasta Maker and Grain Mill attachments. NOTE: Will not maintain fast speeds under heavy loads, such as when using Pasta Maker or Grain Mill attachments.

NOTE: Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for Stand Mixer failure. The PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook efficiently kneads most yeast dough within 4 minutes.
