OPERATING THE STAND MIXER

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.
