This might be due to the height of your beater to your bowl!

If the beater is too high, it cannot reach and incorporate the ingredients.

If the beater is too low, it can hit the bottom of the bowl and the white coating can chip off the bottom of your beater.

The clearance between your beater and bowl is adjusted at our factory, but can change over time with use and in transit, but can easily be raised or lowered!

To adjust your beater height, tilt the mixer head down, slide an envelope or folded piece of paper between the beater and the bowl. The beater should not be touching the bottom of the bowl. The correct clearance is the thickness of the two pieces of paper. Lift the head up, you should see a rectangle hole with a flat head screw. Turn the screw counter clockwise or left to raise the beater. Turn the screw clockwise or right to lower the beater. Each time only turn the screw about a ¼ turn at a time and test again with the paper. Throughout the life of the mixer, the height may need to be adjusted as it may alter with normal use of the mixer.

All the bowls are dishwasher safe. All of the attachments are too, except for the wire whisk. The wire whisk must be hand washed to avoid damage to the wires, and so that the alloy base does not blacken, pit or go powdery.

The Plant Based Milk Cycle from KitchenAid is programmed to understand the differences between Plant Based beverages and traditional Dairy milk, adjusting the amount of air and steam to different milks fat & protein contents, to provide a creamy, stable milk foam. Plant based beverages typically have less fat and protein than traditional dairy milk. Therefore, more air is needed at the start of the steam process to produce a creamy, stable foam. KitchenAid’s unique Alternative Milk Option has the the ability to produce a foamy milk from common plant based milks - like Oat, Almond, Soy and Coconut - at the touch of a button

Yes, you can place our food processor bowls into the dishwasher, making cleaning up easier than ever!

A food processor has a feed tube, multiple blades or discs and a larger bowl capacity than a food chopper. When slicing and shredding, food is pushed through the feed tube into discs just below. Food can also be chopped, mixed or puréed with blades in the bowl of the food processor.

Food processors can handle larger recipes and offer more versatility due to the multiple blades for specific tasks such as chopping, shredding, slicing and julienning. KitchenAid food processors are available with a variety of bowl capacities and feed tube sizes for accommodating bigger batches and larger ingredients like whole sweet potatoes.

A food chopper is a compact appliance or manually operated kitchen tool that’s perfect for quick, simple food prep tasks and smaller recipes. An electric food chopper usually has a smaller bowl containing a single, multi-purpose blade that can chop, purée or mix. Food choppers do not have a feed tube but do often feature a drizzle basin to help emulsify liquids.

You can use a food chopper to make salad dressing, chop nuts to sprinkle on a dessert or purée your signature hummus recipe. Select KitchenAid® food choppers include a whisk accessory so you can also whisk, whip and stir because every dessert is better with fresh whipped cream on top.
