Add attachments

Turn the mixer off and remove the bowl. Unscrew the hub cover to remove it. You can then insert optional attachments into the hub and tighten.

Speed ahead and reach perfection

You have a wide range of speeds to choose from on your stand mixer. This puts you in control, from slow stirring to kneading, beating and whipping.

Speed 1

For slow stirring, combining, mashing and starting all mixing procedures. Use to add flour and dry ingredients to batter, and to add liquids to dry ingredients. Do not use speed 1 to mix or knead yeast dough.

STIRRING

Speed 2

For slow mixing, mashing and faster stirring. Mix and knead yeast doughs, heavy batters and candies, start mashing potatoes or other vegetables, cut shortening into flour and mix thin or splashy batters (do not exceed speed 2 when kneading yeast doughs or you may damage the mixture).

SLOW MIXING

Speed 4

For mixing semi-heavy batters, such as cookies. Use to combine sugar and shortening and to add sugar to egg whites for meringues. Medium speeds for cake mixes. You can also shred cooked meats with the beater.

MIXING, BEATING
