ENGLISH SPEED CONTROL GUIDE All speeds features Soft Start® which allows the Stand Mixer to start at a lower speed to help avoid ingredient splash-out and "flour puff" at start-up, then increases to the selected speed. The speed control can be set between the speeds listed in the chart to obtain speeds 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 if a finer adjustment is required.
