IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put the Stand Mixer in water or other liquids.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Turn the appliance to “0” (OFF), then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
- Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils, away from the beater during operation to reduce the risk of injury to persons or damage to the mixer.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
- The use of accessories or attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Do not use the Stand Mixer outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
- Allow the appliance to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Remove the Flat Beater, Wire Whip, Pastry Beater, Flex Edge Beater, Double Flex Edge Beater, or Spiral Dough Hook from the Stand Mixer before washing. Important Security Measures required for compliance with regulations in Mexico:
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent, or qualified personnel, to avoid any risk.

ACCESSORY/SPEED GUIDE
NOTE: Use Speed 2 to mix or knead yeast doughs. Use of a higher speed creates a high potential for Stand Mixer failure. The PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook efficiently kneads most yeast dough within 4 minutes. The use of a lower speed might slow down the unit and not thoroughly knead the dough.
- Available as an accessory purchase with selected models only.
PRODUCT ASSEMBLY

IMPORTANT: If the Bowl is not securely snapped into place, it will be unstable and wobble during use.

IMPORTANT: When properly adjusted, the Flat Beater will not strike the bottom or sides of the Bowl. If the Flat Beater or the Wire Whip is so close that it strikes the bottom of the Bowl, the coating may wear off the beater, or the wires on the whip may wear.
USING THE POURING SHIELD*
PRODUCT USAGE
- Turn the Stand Mixer to “0” (OFF) and then unplug.
- Attach Bowl and Flat Beater, Dough Hook, or Wire Whip to the mixer. Attach Bowl and raise into locked position.
- Place the shield onto the Bowl so that the Motor Head covers the U-shaped gap in the shield. This will position the pouring chute just to the right of the Attachment Hub as you face the Mixer. Press lightly so that the tabs snap the shield onto the Bowl.
- Pour ingredients into the Bowl through the Pouring Chute.
DISASSEMBLING THE PRODUCT
- Turn the Stand Mixer to “0” (OFF) and then unplug.
- Lift the front of the Pouring Shield* clear of the rim of the Bowl. Pull away from the Stand Mixer. Lower the Bowl and scrape.
PRODUCT USAGE
- Plug the Stand Mixer into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Start with a lower speed to avoid splashing and increase it gradually. Refer to the “Speed Control Guide”.
- Do not scrape the Bowl while operating. Scraping the Bowl once or twice during mixing is usually sufficient.
OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS
KitchenAid offers a wide range of optional attachments, such as the Spiralizer, Pasta Cutters, or Food Grinder, that may be attached to the Stand Mixer attachment power hub.
CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the Stand Mixer body in water or other liquids. Allow the appliance to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Turn the Stand Mixer to “0” (OFF) and then unplug.
- Wipe the Stand Mixer body with a soft, damp cloth.

KitchenAid 7 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer-FAQs
Is the KitchenAid bowl-lift mixer worth it?
Yes. The bowl-lift design is ideal if you frequently make large batches, thick doughs, or heavy mixtures. It offers more power, stability, and capacity than tilt-head models.
What is the advantage of a bowl-lift stand mixer?
Bowl-lift mixers provide higher power, a larger 5–7 quart capacity, and better handling of dense doughs. They’re built for heavy-duty, long mixing sessions.
Why are KitchenAid mixers more expensive?
KitchenAid mixers cost more because they use durable all-metal construction, powerful motors, and long-lasting internal gears. They’re built to last many years and often work reliably for over a decade.
What is the purpose of the bowl-lift mechanism?
The bowl-lift system raises and lowers the bowl for better stability and consistent mixing, especially with heavy or large batches.
What is the best 7-quart stand mixer?
The KitchenAid 7-Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer is widely rated as one of the best for power, capacity, and versatility.
What common problems do KitchenAid mixers have?
Over time, some users experience rattling, loud noise, or stiff gears—usually caused by old, dry grease that needs replacing.
How long does a KitchenAid mixer typically last?
A well-maintained KitchenAid mixer generally lasts 10–15 years, and many last even longer with proper care.
Is there a mixer better than KitchenAid?
KitchenAid is a top choice, but brands like Hamilton Beach, Breville, and Bosch also make strong alternatives depending on your needs and budget.
Is KitchenAid considered a high-end brand?
KitchenAid is not a luxury brand, but it is considered premium because of its quality, power, and durable materials.
Why is my KitchenAid bowl-lift mixer hard to lock in?
Difficulty securing the bowl is usually due to misalignment. Ensuring the bowl arms are clear and properly seated typically fixes the issue.
