PERSONAL INJURY HAZARDTo avoid personal injury and damageto the beater, do not attempt to scrapebowl while mixer is operating; turnmixer off. Should scraper or otherobject drop into bowl, turn motorOFF before removing.

wWARNINGThe bowl and beater are designed to providethorough mixing without frequent scraping.Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixingis usually sufficient.

The mixer may warm up during use. Underheavy loads with extended mixing time, youmay not be able to comfortably touch the topof the unit. This is normal.

Your KitchenAid® Mixer will mix faster andmore thoroughly than most other electricmixers. Therefore, the mixing time in mostrecipes must be adjusted to avoid overbeating.

During operation, the flatbeater moves around thestationary bowl, at thesame time turning in theopposite direction on itsown axis. The diagramshows the completecoverage of the bowl madeby the path of the beater.
