FAQs
What is the capacity of the main stainless steel bowl?
The main stainless steel bowl has a capacity of 4.8 liters, suitable for most home baking needs.
Can I use other KitchenAid attachments with this mixer?
Yes, the multi-purpose attachment hub on the Artisan mixer is designed to work with a wide variety of KitchenAid attachments sold separately, such as pasta makers, grinders, and ice cream makers.
How do I clean the silver-coated accessories?
The silver-coated dough hook, flex-edge beater, and pastry beater are typically top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to prolong their finish and lifespan.
What is the 'planetary action'?
Planetary action refers to the mixer's beater spinning clockwise while the shaft spins counter-clockwise, moving in 67 different points around the bowl to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed without requiring manual scraping.
Is the spearmint green finish easy to clean?
The mixer body should be wiped clean with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or immersing the motor housing in water. The sandy finish adds a unique texture, so gentle cleaning is best.
What is the warranty period for this mixer?
The KitchenAid Artisan Mixer 195 Spearmint Green comes with a 5-year warranty from KitchenAid for your peace of mind.
Does it come with a whisk attachment?
Yes, the mixer includes a wire whisk attachment, ideal for whipping cream, egg whites, and other light ingredients.
Troubleshooting
Mixer does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet and the mixer. Check that the speed control lever is not set to '0' or 'Off'. Verify the bowl and beater assembly are correctly locked in place.
Beater is not reaching the bottom of the bowl.
Adjust the beater height. Most KitchenAid mixers have a mechanism to raise or lower the beater slightly. Refer to your user manual for specific instructions on adjusting the beater-to-bowl clearance.
Motor seems to be struggling or overheating.
Do not overload the mixer. Reduce the batch size or the speed. Ensure the motor vents are not blocked and allow the mixer to cool down if it feels excessively hot.
Excessive noise during operation.
Check that all parts are securely attached, including the bowl, beater, and any accessories. Ensure the mixer is placed on a flat, stable surface.
Ingredients are not fully incorporated.
Use the flex-edge beater which scrapes the bowl sides. If using other attachments, stop the mixer periodically and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
