Speed Control Guide
Speed 1 - Stir
Always start with speed 1 when mixing ingredients as this will prevent your ingredients from spattering out of the bowl. Speed 1 is best used for a slow start when mixing liquid ingredients, or for combining dry and wet ingredients that do not require heavy mixing
Speed 2 - Mix
Use when a recipe calls for combining ingredients together. Use for corn bread, muffins, and light cream cheese spreads.
Speed 3 - Blend
Used for combining heavier cream cheese spreads, cake mixes, or creaming butter and sugar.
Speed 4 – Beat
Used for cake frostings, packaged puddings, whipping heavy cream.
Speed 5 – Whip
Emulsifying egg whites, mashing potatoes.
Power Burst
Use this feature when if you hear your mixer slowing or straining during tough mixing jobs.
