Operation
You can use the processor/hand mixer
to mix, knead and whisk food. The
mixer and mixing bowl are each driven
separately by their own motors, and
the speeds of the mixer and mixing
bowl can be individually adjusted.
However the mixer/processor has a sin-
gle ON/OFF switch.
The mixer can be easily removed from
the processor stand in a moment and
used as a standard hand mixer. When
used in this way, move the hand mixer
in a smooth circular motion around the
inside of the bowl containing the
ingredients.

The dough hooks (Figure 1/M) are used
for heavy doughs, such as yeast dough,
short crust pastry, potato batters and
cake mixes.
The whisk (Figure 1/L) is suitable for
light cake mixes, egg white, cream,
mayonnaise, purées and for stirring
sauces and dessert powders.
• KM 400 models are supplied with a
plastic mixing bowl.
• KM 450 models are supplied with a
stainless steel mixing bowl with lid.
