TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, INJURY TO PERSONS, OR DAMAGE
WHEN USING THE MIXER, FOLLOW BASIC
PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical
shock, never immerse mixer in water or
other liquid.
3. Be sure that the prongs on the plug of
the unit mate with the electrical wall
receptacle into which it will be plugged.
Observation of proper grounding
techniques and local electrical codes is
required.
4. Do not let children operate or play with
mixer.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children. Do
not leave mixer unattended while it is
operating.
6. Unplug mixer from outlet when not in
use, before inserting or removing parts,
and before cleaning.
7. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep
hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas
and other utensils away from beater
during operation to prevent injury, and/
or damage to the mixer.
8. Do not operate mixer unattended or
near edge of work surface. When used
for heavy loads or at high speeds, mixer
may move on work surface.
9. Remove flat beater, wire whip or dough
hook from mixer before washing.
10. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord set or after the appliance
has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
11. The use of attachments not
recommended by KitchenAid may cause
fire, electrical shock or injury.
12. Do not use outdoors.
13. Do not let cord hang over edge
of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
14. When using a mixer model with a tilt
head, the head must be completely
down before locking. Before mixing,
make sure lock is in position by
attempting to raise head.
15. Do not use an extension cord.
16. When making dough with the
mixer, never use recipes calling for
more than the following maximum
measurements: Model 5K45SS – 1.12
kg (8 cups) of all-purpose flour or
840 g (6 cups) of whole wheat flour.
Models 5K5SS, 5KPM5, and 5KSM5 –
1.4 kg (10 cups) of all-purpose flour or
1120 g (8 cups) of whole wheat flour.
17. When making dough with the mixer,
never operate mixer continuously for
more than 10 minutes.
18. Be careful when lifting mixer as it is
heavy.
19. Use the mixer only for its intended
function.
20. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: Your
KitchenAid
®
Mixer operates on a regular
220-240 volt A.C., 50-60 hertz house
current. The wattage rating for your
KitchenAid
®
Mixer is printed on the
trim band. This wattage is determined by
using the attachment which draws the
greatest power. Other recommended
attachments may draw significantly less
power.
21. Be certain the attachment hub is
secure (tighten attachment knob) prior
to using mixer to avoid any possibility
of the attachment hub falling into the
bowl during mixing.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
– staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
– farm houses;
– by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
– bed and breakfast type environments

that it strikes bottom of bowl, coating may
wear off of beaters or wires may wear through
on wire whip.
Scraping sides of bowl may be necessary
under certain conditions regardless of beater
adjustment. Mixer must be stopped to scrape
bowl or damage to mixer may occur.
Bowl, flat beater and dough hook may
be washed in an automatic dishwasher.
The wire whip and these other basic
accessories can be cleaned thoroughly in
hot sudsy water and rinsed completely
before drying.
Lubrication: Motor bearings are self-
lubricating and should require no further
attention under normal use.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
ALWAYS BE SURE TO UNPLUG
MIXER BEFORE CLEANING TO AVOID
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Wipe mixer with a damp cloth. DO
NOT IMMERSE IN WATER. Wipe off
beater shaft frequently, removing any
residue that may accumulate.
WARNING
Care and Cleaning of Your Mixer
B
Your mixer is adjusted at the factory so
that the flat beater just clears the bottom
of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat
beater strikes the bottom of the bowl, or
is too far away from the bowl, clearance
can be corrected as follows:
See the Stand Mixer Attachments Use and Care Guide for speed settings and operating
times.

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
To avoid personal injury and damage
to the beater, do not attempt to scrape
bowl while mixer is operating; turn
mixer off. Should scraper or other
object drop into bowl, turn motor OFF
before removing.
WARNING
The bowl and beater are designed to
provide thorough mixing without frequent
scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice
during mixing is usually sufficient.
The 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 unit. This is normal.
Your KitchenAid
®
Mixer will mix faster
and more thoroughly than most other
electric mixers. Therefore, the mixing
time in most recipes must be adjusted to
avoid overbeating.
NUMBER OF SPEED
1 STIR For slow stirring, combining, mashing, starting all mixing
procedures. Use to add flour and dry ingredients to batter, add
liquids to dry ingredients, and combine heavy mixtures.
2 SLOW MIXING For slow beating, mashing, faster stirring. Use to beat heavy
batters and candies, start mashing potatoes or other vegetables,
cut shortening into flour, beat thin or splashy batters, and mix
and knead yeast dough. Use with Can Opener attachment.
4 MIXING, BEATING For mixing semi-heavy batters such as cookies. Use to cream
sugar and shortening and add sugar to egg whites for meringues.
Medium speed for cake mixes. Use with attachments: Food
Grinder, Rotor Slicer/Shredder and Fruit/Vegetable Strainer.
6 BEATING, For beating or creaming, medium fast whipping. Use to finish
CREAMING mixing cakes, doughnut and other batters. High speed for cake
mixes. Use with Citrus Juice attachment.
8 FAST BEATING, For whipping cream, egg whites, and boiled frostings.
WHIPPING
10 FAST For whipping small amounts of cream and egg whites. Use with
WHIPPING Pasta Maker and Grain Mill attachments.
NOTE: The Speed Control Lever can be set between the above speeds if a finer adjustment is required.
During operation, the
flat beater moves around
the stationary bowl, at
the same time turning in
the opposite direction
on its own axis. The
diagram shows the
complete coverage of
the bowl made by the
path of the beater.

9706978B_02_EN_v04.indd 9 12/17/14 2:10 PM
English
NOTE: If liquid ingredients are added too
quickly, they will form a pool around the
dough hook and slow down mixing process.
4. Continuing on speed 2, gently tap
remaining flour around sides of bowl,
1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time, as needed.
Mix until dough clings to hook and cleans
sides of bowl, about 2 minutes.

beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to
simplify adding ingredients.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom
of bowl are not thoroughly mixed, the
beater is not far enough into the bowl.
See “Beater to Bowl Clearance.”
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes,
use Speed 4 for medium speed and Speed
6 for high speed. For best results, mix for
the time stated on the package directions.
Adding Nuts, Raisins or
Candied Fruits
Solid materials should be folded in the last
few sections of mixing on Stir Speed. The
batter should be thick enough to keep the
fruits and nuts from sinking to the bottom
of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits
should be dusted with flour for better
distribution in the batter.
Liquid Mixture
Mixtures containing large amounts of
liquid ingredients should be mixed at
lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase
speed only after mixture has thickened.
Converting Your Recipe to the Mixer
The mixing instructions found in this book
can be used to convert your favorite
recipes for use with your KitchenAid
®
Mixer.
To help determine a mixing procedure,
your own observations and experience will
be needed. Watch the batter or dough and
mix only until it has the desired appearance
described in your recipe, such as “smooth
and creamy.” Use the “Speed Control
Guide” to help determine proper mixing
speeds.
Adding Ingredients
The standard procedure to follow when
mixing most batters, especially cake and
cookie batters, is to add:
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients
Use Stir Speed until ingredients have
been blended. Then gradually increase to
desired speed.
Always add ingredients as close to side of
bowl as possible, not directly into moving
1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast into
bowl, except last 1 to 2 cups (250 mL to
500 mL) flour.
2. Attach bowl and dough hook. Lock
5K45SS head or raise 5K5SS/5KPM5
bowl. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about
15 seconds or until ingredients are
combined.
3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add liquid
ingredients to flour mixture, about 30
seconds to 1 minute. Mix 1 minute longer.
