FAQs KitchenAid® Pro 600 Deluxe 6-Quart Bowl-Lift with Glass Bowl Stand Mixer

What is a bowl-lift stand mixer? KitchenAid® Bowl-Lift stand mixers are designed with a lever that raises the mixing bowl into position for efficient mixing and lowers it with an easy turn of the lever. Heavy metal arms securely embrace the mixing bowl. The Bowl-Lift design provides sturdy bowl support for stability when mixing heavy ingredients or large batches.

Is the Glass Bowl on the Pro 600 Deluxe stand mixer microwave, freezer & dishwasher safe? The Glass Bowl is freezer and dishwasher safe. However, it is not microwave safe.

Does the Pro 600 Deluxe stand mixer come with instructions or recipes? Yes, a Use and Care Guide is included. Also included are 25 KitchenAid® Recipe Cards and each recipe includes a photo!

Why is the Spiral Dough Hook so special? The PowerKnead™ Spiral Dough Hook has been designed to punch and roll dough like a pro. The unique spiral design and downward rolling action of this dough hook replicates hand-kneading with a powerful force and is dishwasher safe.

I notice the flat beater & dough hook are coated. Yes, the coating is a food grade nylon coating that is dishwasher safe and makes cleanup a breeze.

Are the accessories dishwasher safe? The Flat Beater, Dough Hook and Flex Edge beater are dishwasher safe. Hand-washing is recommended for the Stainless Steel Pro Whisk.

What is the KitchenAid® Flex Edge Beater and what does it do? The Flex Edge beater is a coated metal beater with a flexible edge. It provides thorough and fast ingredient incorporation. It is perfect for those recipes that require you to “stop and scrape the mixing bowl”. The flex edge does a great job on foods that tend to stick and/or collect to the sides of the mixing bowl, like cream cheese, butter, nut butters and honey. Use the flex edge for end products that would be described as "creamy" and "silky". It also makes an excellent tool to wipe the bowl clean when pouring finished batters and is dishwasher safe.

Can I use the Glass Bowl and Accessories on other KitchenAid® 6-Quart mixers? Yes. However, the F Series beaters which are included with the Pro600 mixer are designed to work exclusively with the 6-Quart Glass Bowl and the 6-Quart Stainless Steel Flanged Bowl, KitchenAid Model KSMF6PEH. If using a traditional KitchenAid 6-Quart Stainless Steel bowl you must use the beaters that came with that stainless steel bowl.

Can the various stand mixer attachments such as the food grinder, ice cream maker, pasta rollers, etc. on the Pro 600 Deluxe stand mixer? Yes. All KitchenAid® stand mixer attachments are universal and fit any KitchenAid® stand mixer. All feature a multipurpose attachment hub that powers the attachments. Using attachments expands the capabilities of your stand mixer. Simply flip-up the hub cover, insert an attachment, and convert the stand mixer into a food grinder, a spiralizer, a food processor, fruit and vegetable slicer, shredder, strainer or juicer, a pasta sheet roller, cutter, or shaper, a sausage stuffer and more. You can even enjoy delicious homemade ice cream and sorbets with the ice cream maker attachment. While not powered through the hub, this attachment comes with an adapter that enables it to be used on all KitchenAid® stand mixers. Attachments come with a Use & Care guide.
