Do not return the Stand Mixer to the retailer, as they do not provide service.

Yes, there are a few things to note about the normal operation of your KITCHENAID KSM7990 Commercial Mixer:

1. The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended mixing time periods, you may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the Stand Mixer. This is normal.

2. The Stand Mixer may emit a pungent odor, especially when new. This is common with electric motors.

3. If the flat beater hits the bowl, stop the Stand Mixer and see the section on “Beater to Bowl Clearance”.

Soft Start™ Feature: This feature minimizes splash-out by starting the KITCHENAID KSM7990 Commercial Mixer slowly before increasing to the selected speed. To further reduce the potential for splash-out, always begin mixing using the STIR speed, then gradually move to higher speeds as needed.

Auto-Reset Motor Protection: If the Stand Mixer stops due to overload, slide the speed control lever to OFF. After a few minutes, the stand mixer will automatically reset. Slide the Speed Control Lever to the desired speed and continue mixing. If the Stand Mixer does not restart, see the “Troubleshooting Problems” section.

Flat Beater for normal to heavy mixtures:

cakes, creamed frostings, candies, cookies, pie pastry, biscuits, quick breads, meat loaf, mashed potatoes.

Wire Whip for mixtures that need air incorporated:

eggs, egg whites, heavy cream, boiled frostings, sponge cakes, angel food cakes, mayonnaise, some candies.

Dough Hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs:

breads, rolls, coffee cakes, buns.

Mixing Time: Your KITCHENAID KSM7990 Commercial Mixer will mix faster and more thoroughly than most other electric stand mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most recipes must be adjusted to avoid overbeating. With cakes, for example, beating time may be half as long as with other stand mixers.

Mixer Use:

NOTE: Do not scrape the bowl while the Stand Mixer is operating. The bowl and beater are designed to provide thorough mixing without frequent scraping. Scraping the bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient. Turn the Stand Mixer off before scraping.

The Stand Mixer may warm up during use. Under heavy loads with extended mixing time, you may not be able to comfortably touch the top of the Stand Mixer. This is normal.

If the Stand Mixer becomes overloaded, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. See “Auto-Reset Motor Protection”.

All speeds on the KITCHENAID KSM7990 Commercial Mixer feature Soft Start™ operation, which minimizes splash-out and flour puff. The mixer will start slowly before increasing to the selected speed.

NOTE: Use speed 2 to mix or knead yeast dough or fondants. Use of any other speed with heavy doughs may cause the mixer to stop rotating to limit mixer damage. This is normal operation. If this occurs, turn the speed selector to off, and then turn back on to a lower speed.

Your KITCHENAID KSM7990 Commercial Mixer is adjusted at the factory so the flat beater just clears the bottom of the bowl. If, for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of the bowl or is too far away from the bowl, you can correct the clearance easily.

1. Unplug the Stand Mixer or disconnect power.

2. Place the bowl lift lever in the down position.

3. Attach the flat beater.

4. Adjust so the flat beater just clears the bottom surface of the bowl when in the lifted position by turning the adjustment screw (A) counterclockwise to raise the bowl and clockwise to lower the bowl. Just a slight turn is all that is required: the screw will not rotate more than 1/4 turn (90 degrees) in either direction. (The full range of adjustment is 1/2 turn, or 180 degrees.)

5. Place the bowl lift lever in the up position to check clearance.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary.

NOTE: When properly adjusted, the flat beater will not strike the bottom or side of the bowl. If the flat beater or the wire whip is so close that it strikes the bottom of the bowl, the beater or whip may wear.

Using Your Recipes with the Mixer: Mixing times may change because your KITCHENAID KSM7990 Commercial Mixer works more quickly than other mixers. In general, mixing a cake with this mixer will take about half the time called for in most cake recipes. To determine the ideal mixing time, observe the batter or dough and mix only until it has the desired appearance described in your recipe, such as “smooth and creamy.”

Adding Ingredients: Always add ingredients as close to the side of the bowl as possible, not directly into the moving beater. NOTE: If ingredients in the very bottom of the bowl are not thoroughly mixed, then the beater is not far enough into the bowl. See “Beater to Bowl Clearance”.

Cake Mixes: When preparing packaged cake mixes, use Speed 2 for low speed, Speed 4 for medium speed, and Speed 6 for high speed. For best results, mix for the time stated on the package directions.

Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits: In general, solid materials should be folded in during the last few seconds of mixing on Stir Speed. The batter should be thick enough to prevent the fruit or nuts from sinking to the bottom of the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be dusted with flour for better distribution in the batter.

Liquid Mixtures: Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after the mixture has thickened.

Ingredients:

– 1/2 cup (120 mL) low-fat milk

– 3 tbs (45 mL) sugar

– 2 tsp (10 mL) salt

– 3 tbs (45 mL) butter or margarine

– 2 packages active dry yeast

– 1-1/2 cups (355 mL) warm water (105°F to 115°F)

– 5-6 cups (1.2 to 1.5 L) all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Place milk, sugar, salt, and butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.

2. Dissolve yeast in warm water in the warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 4 1/2 cups (1 L) flour. Attach the bowl and dough hook to the KITCHENAID KSM7990 Commercial Mixer. Turn to Speed 2 and mix for about 1 minute.

3. Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup (120 mL) at a time, and mix for about 1-1/2 minutes, or until the dough starts to clean the sides of the bowl. Knead on Speed 2 for about 2 minutes longer, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. The dough will be slightly sticky to the touch.

4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover. Let rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

5. Punch the dough down and divide it in half. Shape each half into a loaf, and place in greased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2″ baking pans. Cover. Let rise in a warm place, free from draft, for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately and cool on wire racks.

Yield: 32 servings (16 slices per loaf).

– Unplug the Stand Mixer before cleaning or disconnect power.

– The stainless steel bowl, flat beater, wire whip, and spiral dough hook may be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Or, clean them thoroughly in hot sudsy water and rinse completely before drying. Do not store beaters on the shaft.

– The bowl is dishwasher-safe. It can also be hand-washed in hot sudsy water, rinsed thoroughly, and dried.
