Speed Control Guide All speeds have the Soft Start® feature which automatically starts the stand mixer at a lower speed to help avoid ingredient splash-out and "flour puff" at start-up then quickly increases to the selected speed for optimal performance. Number of Speed Stir Speed STIR For slow stirring, combining, mashing, starting all mixing procedures. Use to add flour and dry ingredients to batter, and add liquids to dry ingredients. Do not use STIR speed to mix or knead yeast doughs. 2 SLOW MIXING For slow mixing, mashing, faster stirring. Use to mix and knead yeast doughs, heavy batters and candies; start mashing potatoes or other vegetables; cut shortening into flour; mix thin or splashy batters. Use with Can Opener attachment. 4 MIXING, BEATING For mixing semi-heavy batters, such as cookies. Use to combine sugar and shortening and to add sugar to egg whites for meringues. Medium speed for cake mixes. Use with: Food Grinder, Rotor Slicer/Shredder, Pasta Roller, and Fruit/Vegetable Strainer. 6 BEATING, CREAMING For medium-fast beating (creaming) or whipping. Use to finish mixing cake, doughnut, and other batters. High speed for cake mixes. Use with Citrus Juicer attachment. 8 FAST BEATING, WHIPPING For whipping cream, egg whites, and boiled frostings. 10 FAST WHIPPING For whipping small amounts of cream, egg whites or for final whipping of mashed potatoes. Use with Pasta Maker and Grain Mill attachments. NOTE: Will not maintain fast speeds under heavy loads, such as when using Pasta Maker or Grain Mill attachments. Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for stand mixer failure. The PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook efficiently kneads most yeast dough within 4 minutes. 13
