What materials are the dough hook, whisk, and flat beater made of?
The dough hook and flat beater are made from die-cast aluminum with a Teflon non-stick coating.
The whisk is made of stainless steel, except for the top section where the wires attach — this part is also die-cast aluminum for stability.
Is there additional accessory equipment available for Karla?
Yes.
In addition to the standard attachments (whisk, dough hook, and flat beater), Karla can be equipped with a range of optional accessories.
Through the side accessory port, you can attach:
- 3 pasta-making attachments
- 1 meat-grinder attachment with various discs and fittings
These expand Karla’s functionality and turn it into a true multi-purpose kitchen machine.
What advantages does Karla offer over a hand mixer?
Karla’s 800-watt motor and planetary mixing system provide several key benefits.
While a hand mixer only moves around two fixed rotation axes, Karla’s planetary system ensures that the attachments rotate around their own axis and simultaneously along the bowl’s edge.
This motion ensures a perfectly even dough consistency without leftover ingredients on the sides.
Your benefits:
- Smooth, homogeneous doughs
- No manual effort — Karla works fully automatically
- Built-in timer lets you multitask while your dough mixes itself
Can I use Karla for heavy yeast or bread doughs?
Yes.
Karla is powerful enough to knead dense doughs such as bread or pizza dough.
Use the dough hook on speed level 2 for best results.
Important:
Avoid higher speeds, as they could strain the motor head and create imbalance.
Also ensure that the maximum capacity of 1.5 kg of ingredients is not exceeded.
Error codes
Error code | Description |
E01 | Tilt-arm not properly locked in place |
If this occurs, make sure the tilt head clicks firmly into its locked position before operating the mixer.
Karla’s tilt head opens during operation
When working with dense or heavy doughs, the tilt head may lift if not properly locked.
Make sure no dough rests under the dough hook when closing the motor arm.
If dough prevents the head from fully locking, it might click without actually being secure.
What is the maximum filling capacity?
Karla can handle up to 1.5 kg of dough mixture, making it ideal for large baking sessions.
This allows you to prepare generous portions of bread, cake, or pastry dough effortlessly.
Which parts are dishwasher-safe?
The stainless-steel bowl, splash guard, and all attachments are technically dishwasher-safe.
However, we recommend hand-washing the Teflon-coated dough hook and flat beater to preserve their coating for long-term use.
The bowl and whisk can be safely cleaned in the dishwasher.
What are the attachments used for?
Each attachment serves a specific purpose:
Attachment | Best used for |
Dough hook | Bread, pasta, and yeast doughs |
Flat beater | Shortcrust pastry, cake batter, fillings, mashed potatoes |
Whisk | Whipped cream, eggs, meringue, creams, and dips |
