2. Attach the desired beater or whisk to your mixer.
3. Place your stainless steel mixing bowl onto the mixer base.
4. Carefully position the KN1PS Pouring Shield over the rim of the mixing bowl, ensuring the opening aligns with the front of the mixer for easy ingredient access. The shield is designed to rest on the bowl's rim.
5. Lower the mixer head (for tilt-head models) or raise the bowl (for bowl-lift models) into the operating position.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the pouring shield is installed, you can begin mixing and adding ingredients:

1. Plug in your mixer and select the desired speed.
2. Add ingredients through the designated opening on the pouring shield. This helps prevent splashes and keeps your countertop clean.
3. For best results, add dry ingredients slowly to avoid clumping and ensure even mixing.

6. Cleaning & Maintenance

The KitchenAid KN1PS Pouring Shield is designed for easy cleaning:

• After each use, remove the pouring shield from the mixing bowl.
• The pouring shield is dishwasher safe. Place it on the top rack of your dishwasher for cleaning.
• Alternatively, you can hand wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.

7. Troubleshooting

Issue: Pouring Shield does not fit or is loose.

Possible Cause: The pouring shield is designed for specific KitchenAid stainless steel bowls and may not fit all models or types (e.g., glass or ceramic bowls).

Solution: Verify your mixer's model number (found on the bottom of the mixer) against the compatibility list in Section 3. Ensure you are using a compatible stainless steel mixing bowl. The shield is designed to rest on the rim, not snap on tightly, which allows for easy removal and addition of ingredients.

Issue: Ingredients still splash out.

Possible Cause: Very high mixing speeds with thin mixtures or rapid addition of ingredients.

Solution: Reduce mixer speed when working with very liquid or fine ingredients. Add ingredients slowly and steadily through the pouring chute. While the shield significantly reduces splatter, extreme conditions may still result in minimal escape.
