3. Setup Guide

3.1 Placing the Mixer

Place the stand mixer on a clean, dry, and stable surface. The mixer is equipped with anti-slip suction cups on its base to ensure stability during operation. Press down gently to secure it to the countertop.

3.2 Attaching and Removing the Mixing Bowl

1. To attach: Place the 8.5QT stainless steel mixing bowl onto the base, aligning the notches on the bowl with the slots on the mixer base. Turn the bowl clockwise until it locks securely into place.
2. To remove: Turn the bowl counter-clockwise to unlock it from the base, then lift it off.

3.3 Attaching and Removing Attachments (Beaters, Whisk, Dough Hook)

1. Ensure the mixer is unplugged before attaching or removing any accessories.
2. To raise the mixer head: Push the tilt-head release lever (located on the side of the mixer) downwards and gently lift the mixer head until it locks into the upright position.
3. To attach an accessory: Insert the top of the attachment into the shaft, aligning the pin on the shaft with the groove on the attachment. Twist the attachment counter-clockwise until it locks into place.
4. To remove an accessory: Twist the attachment clockwise to unlock it from the shaft, then pull it downwards.
5. To lower the mixer head: Push the tilt-head release lever downwards and gently lower the mixer head until it locks into the operating position.

3.4 Attaching the Splash Guard

The transparent splash guard helps prevent ingredients from splashing out during mixing. It features a convenient pouring chute for adding ingredients while the mixer is running.

1. With the mixer head in the upright position and an attachment installed, slide the splash guard onto the mixer head, ensuring it covers the top of the mixing bowl.
2. Lower the mixer head. The splash guard should sit snugly around the attachment and over the bowl.

4.1 Speed Control

The mixer has a rotary knob with 6 speed settings and a pulse function. Always start at a lower speed and gradually increase as needed to prevent splashing and ensure thorough mixing.

• Speed 1-2 (Low): Ideal for slow stirring, combining dry ingredients, and kneading dough.
• Speed 3-4 (Medium): Suitable for mixing batters, mashing potatoes, and preparing salads.
• Speed 5-6 (High): Best for whipping cream, egg whites, and light mixtures.
• Pulse (P): Provides short bursts of power for quick mixing or incorporating ingredients. Hold the knob at 'P' for continuous pulse action.

4.2 Using the Attachments

Select the appropriate attachment based on your recipe:

• Wire Whisk: For light, fluffy mixtures such as meringues, whipped cream, and egg whites. Use speeds 5-6.
• Flat Beater: For normal to heavy mixtures like cookies, cakes, brownies, and mashed potatoes. Use speeds 2-4.
• Dough Hook: For thicker yeast-based doughs such as bread, pizza dough, and homemade rolls. Use speeds 1-3.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

5.1 Cleaning the Mixing Bowl and Attachments

The stainless steel mixing bowl, wire whisk, flat beater, and dough hook are dishwasher safe. For best results, wash them immediately after use to prevent food residue from drying.

5.2 Cleaning the Mixer Base

Wipe the mixer base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the mixer base in water or any other liquid. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.

5.3 Storage

Store the mixer and its accessories in a dry place. Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your KICHOT Stand Mixer, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Uneven Mixing / Batter at Bottom: Ensure the attachment is correctly installed and reaches close enough to the bottom of the bowl. For very thick mixtures, occasionally stop the mixer and use the silicone spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
• Mixer Shuts Off / Overheats: The mixer is designed with an overload protection system. If the motor becomes too hot, it may shut off automatically. Allow the mixer to cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before resuming operation. Avoid continuous operation for more than 10 minutes, especially with heavy doughs (limit heavy dough mixing to 6 minutes). Reduce the load or speed if the mixer struggles.
• Excessive Noise or Vibration: Ensure the mixer is placed on a stable, flat surface and the suction cups are properly engaged. Verify that the mixing bowl and chosen attachment are securely locked in place.
• Attachments Not Locking: Check that the mixer head is fully locked in the upright or lowered position. Ensure the attachment's pin is correctly aligned with the shaft's groove before twisting to lock.

If the problem persists, please contact KICHOT customer support.
