NOTES:

• Mixer capacity depends on the moisture content of the dough. When mixing dough, check the Absorption Ratio percentage (AR%) Absorption Ratio % (AR%) = Water Weight divided by Flour Weight.
• The capacities listed above are based on flour at room temperature and 70°F (21°C) water temperature.
• If high gluten flour is used, reduce batch by 10%
• If using chilled flour, water below 70°F (21°C) or ice, reduce batch by 10%
• Do not use 2nd speed with mixtures below 50% AR
• Do not use hub attachments while mixing
