Planetary Mixing Action; Mixer Use; Speed Control Guide - KitchenAid 5K45SS Mode D'emploi

Planetary Mixing Action

During operation, the flat
beater moves around the
stationary bowl, at the
same time turning in the
opposite direction on its
own axis. The diagram
shows the complete
coverage of the bowl made
by the path of the beater.

Mixer Use

The bowl and beater are designed to provide
thorough mixing without frequent scraping.
Scraping the bowl once or twice during
mixing is usually sufficient.
The mixer may warm up during use. Under
heavy loads with extended mixing time, you
may not be able to comfortably touch the
top of the unit. This is normal.

Your KitchenAid Mixer will mix faster and
®
more thoroughly than most other electric
mixers. Therefore, the mixing time in most
recipes must be adjusted to avoid
overbeating.
