Model HCM450 Pizza Cutter Mixer
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The HCM450 Cutter Mixer cuts, mixes or blends foods quickly and efficiently. A
transparent lid allows the operator to inspect the product during the mix-cut-
blend process. The unit operates continuously, momentarily or with a timer
control which shuts off the machine automatically after the set time has
elapsed.
The HCM450 bowl has a liquid capacity of 45 quarts.
The motor on HCM450 is rated 5 HP, 1140 RPM and has thermal overload
protection. The motor is totally enclosed with external fan cooling.
The knead mix shaft assembly is used for applications where cutting is not
required. It is especially good for kneading yeast doughs.
The bowl is locked in its vertical position during processing with the lock
arm on HOLD. After processing, when you move the lock arm from HOLD to TILT,
the bowl can pivot to allow easy pouring.
UNPACKING
The cutter mixer was inspected before leaving the factory. The carrier assumes
full responsibility for the safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment.
Check for possible shipping damage immediately after receipt.
If the cutter mixer is found to be damaged, complete the following steps:
- Carrier must be notified within five business days of receipt.
- Carrier’s local terminal must be notified immediately upon discovery (note time, date, and who was spoken to), and follow up and confirm with written or electronic communication.
- All original packing materials must be kept for inspection purposes.
- The cutter mixer cannot have been moved, installed, or modified.
- Notify Hobart customer care at 800-333-7447.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the machine data plate located on the frame behind the control box.
ASSEMBLY
Remove the cutter mixer from the skid and install rubber feet as follows:
Apply a bead of silicon sealant (not provided) around the edge of each leg.
Insert a rubber foot onto each leg and fasten with bolts and washers provided.
Match the shape of the foot to conform to the shape of the leg. Two of each
style are included.
Place cutter mixer in the desired location.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with applicable portions of
the national electrical code and/or other local electrical codes.
Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch,
indicating that the circuit is being worked on.
Machines are shipped from the factory with a 6-foot cord and plug for units
set up for US electrical standards.
ASSEMBLING BOWL SEAL AND ATTACHMENTS
Refer to the handbook accompanying the cutter mixer for recipe guidelines and
advice regarding the appropriate selection of attachments for the desired
application.
Before installing bowl seal and attachments, be sure the power cord is
unplugged.
Bowl Seal

so the thin black edge is down.

The bowl may be tilted to any desired position, depending upon the type of
product. Grasp the lid handle and cautiously tilt the bowl by pulling toward
you as the contents empty into a container.
After product has been removed, return bowl to vertical position. Return bowl
tilt handle to HOLD position and proceed to run another load or clean the
machine.
CLEANING
NOTICE Damage to the lid can result if it is exposed to certain
chemicals. Do not use harsh abrasives, such as powdered or liquid cleansers,
steel wool or other abrasive pads; cleaners containing ammonia, such as window
sprays; cleaners containing chlorine, solvents, chemical adhesives; and highly
caustic chemicals, such as drain cleaners or commercial dishwasher detergents.
PREWASH
Before disassembling, put 1 gallon of warm water and 1 or 2 tablespoons of a
mild liquid household dishwashing detergent, such as Joy, Ivory or Palmolive
Green in the bowl. Close and latch the lid. Turn the timer to JOG and run for
10 seconds so the solution is thoroughly mixed.
WASH BOWL AND COMPONENTS
Unplug unit before cleaning.
Remove knead mix shaft assembly. Do not leave attachments on motor shaft
for storage. Wash the inside of the bowl and the underneath side of the lid
using a soft, clean cloth or sponge. Use a soft, plastic spatula to scrape the
inside of the bowl if food soil adheres to the side of the bowl. Hand wash the
attachments. Remove the wash water from the bowl.
RINSE
Pour 1 gallon of warm rinse water into the bowl.
Rinse attachments and mixing baffle with water in bowl and remove them to dry.

black edge down. Seat seal assembly against the bottom of the bowl with a 1/4
turn.
NOTE: The bowl seal should be cleaned at least once per day or once per
