KitchenAid 9708307C manual Speed Control Guide, Number of Speed Stir

Speed Control Guide

All speeds have the Soft Start® feature which 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	STIR	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. Use with
		Can Opener attachment.
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

8	FAST BEATING,	For whipping cream, egg whites, and

10	FAST WHIPPING	For whipping small amounts of cream,
		egg whites or for final whipping of

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.
