SPEED CONTROL GUIDE
ATTACHMENTS AND THEIR USES
MIXING TIME
Your Bowl Lift Stand Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric Mixers. It
is designed so that all the motion takes place in the Beaters / Attachments with the bowl staying
stationary. Therefore, the mixing time in most traditional and non-packaged recipes should be
adjusted to avoid overbeating. Cakes, for example, may need only half as much beating time as
with other mixers.
MIXING HUB
Your Bowl Lift Stand Mixer comes with a built-in multipurpose Attachment Hub located in the
front of the Motor Head. There are many attachments available for use with your Bowl Lift Stand
Mixer. For more details, see ‘Attachments and Accessories’.
FLAT BEATER - For normal to heavy mixtures:
• cakes • cookies • quick breads
• creamed frostings • pie pastry • meat loaf
• candies • biscuits • mashed potatoes
WIRE WHIP - For mixtures that need to have air incorporated:
• eggs • sponge cakes
• egg whites • angel food cakes
• heavy cream • mayonnaise
• boiled frostings • some candies
DOUGH HOOK - For mixing and kneading yeast doughs:
• breads
• coffee cakes
• rolls
• buns
NOTE
Do not scrape frequently the Bowl while the 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 Off the Mixer before thoroughly
scraping the bowl.
