Mixing Time
Your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric stand 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 stand mixers.
Mixer Use
NOTE: Do not scrape bowl while Stand 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 Stand Mixer off before scraping.
The Stand 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 Stand Mixer. This is normal.
If the Stand Mixer becomes overloaded, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. See
