Speed Control Guide - 10 Speed Mixers All speeds feature Soft Start™ operation, which minimizes splash-out and flourpuff. The mixer will start slowly before increasing to the selected speed. Speed Stir STIRRING 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. 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. 6 BEATING, CREAMING For medium-fast beating (creaming) or whipping. Use to finish mixing cake, doughnut, and other batters. High speed for cake mixes. 8 FAST BEATING, WHIPPING For whipping cream, egg whites, and boiled frostings. 10 FAST WHIPPING For whipping small amounts of cream or egg whites, or for final whipping of mashed potatoes. Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of any other speed creates high potential for unit failure. 9
