KitchenAid 5KSM7591X User Manual

Your KitchenAid Stand Mixer will mix  

faster and more thoroughly than most  

other electric mixers. Therefore, the  

mixing time in most recipes must be  

adjusted to avoid overbeating. 

To help 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.” 

To select the best mixing speeds, use the 

“Speed control guide” section.

NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom  

of bowl are not thoroughly mixed,  

then the beater is not far enough into  

the bowl. See the “Setting up your  

Stand Mixer” section.

Always add ingredients as close to side of 

bowl as possible, not directly into moving 

beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to 

simplify adding ingredients. Use Speed 1 

until ingredients have been blended. Then 

gradually increase to desired speed.
Adding Nuts, Raisins, or Candied Fruits

Follow individual recipes for guidelines on 

including these ingredients. In general, solid 

materials should be folded in the last few 

seconds of mixing on Speed 1. The batter 

should be thick enough to keep 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.

Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid 

ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds 

to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after 

mixture has thickened.

KitchenAid optional attachments are designed to assure long life. The attachment power 

shaft and attachment hub socket are of a square design, to eliminate any possibility of slipping 

during the transmission of power to the attachment. The hub and shaft housings are tapered 

to assure a snug fit, even after prolonged use and wear. KitchenAid attachments require no 

extra power unit to operate them; the power unit is built-in.
