INTRODUCTION
The models K-45 and K5A KitchenAid mixers are well designed and carefully built units.
Normally they will
give
continual use year after year without requiring service attention.
Careful records have been maintained over a period
of
years
to
determine any troubles
that
might possibly develop.
An
effort has been made in preparation
of
this manual to cover all
possible trouble.
Parts and authorized service are available through your nearest Hobart outlet. Consult the
yellow pages
of
the local telephone directory under the heading
"Restaurant Equipment
."
Why
only
one beater?
Long
ago
,
KitchenAid
engineers
discovered
that the secret to
really
efficient mixing was to
travel
a
single
beater
clockwise
around
the
bowl
while
rotating
it
counterclockwise.
Ap-
propriately,
we
call
it
planetary
action.
The
same
action
used
in
commercial
bakery
mixers.
It
assures
you
faster
,
more
thorough
blending
of ingredients,
perfect
results
with fast
cleanup, too. And
only
KitchenAid has it.

a

.
This
is
how
KitchenAid
achieves
the most uniform mix-
ing action without turn-
ing the bowl.
