A dough hook puts a huge load on the motor. Do not run it above low speed.
As to how long to run it, I hate to say it this way, but it depends!
It depends on what you're making. It depends on the humidity in the room. It depends on room temperature. For starters, assume you're making a basic bread dough (flour, water, a dash of shortening, salt and yeast). You may want to start out by assumming a ten minute knead. However, you need to also watch the dough to see how it is reacting. Does it stick to the bowl? Does it gather on the dough hook and not actually knead? Is it getting a broken look or is it silky?
Try going on the 'net and look for recipes. A good place to start might be Kitchenaid's own web site.
Good luck!
