Frequently Asked Questions - KAM573ME KENWOOD

What types of cuts are possible with the Kenwood KAM573ME slicer?

The slicer allows thin or thick slicing, fine or coarse grating, and cutting fries (julienne or standard) thanks to its 6 included discs.

Do I need to use the sweeper ⑥? Why?

Yes, the sweeper is mandatory. Without it, food accumulates under the discs and blocks the output, which can damage the accessory.

Completely disassemble the accessory. The discs can be washed in the dishwasher (top rack) or in warm soapy water. The drive unit must never be immersed.

What speed to use with the stand mixer?

Set the mixer to speed 3 for optimal use.

Can I slice cheese or chocolate?

Yes, the slicer is suitable for cheese, chocolate, nuts, firm fruits and vegetables. Use the appropriate disc.

How to prevent food from slipping in the chute?

Fill the width of the large chute with sufficiently sized ingredients. For small ingredients, use the small chute integrated into the pusher.

Is the accessory compatible with all Kenwood mixers?

It is compatible with models KM070, KM08, KCC90 and other Kenwood stand mixers. The output extension is mandatory with models KM070/TYPE KM08/TYPE KCC90.

What to do if food gets stuck under the disc?

Make sure the sweeper is correctly installed. If the problem persists, turn off and unplug the appliance, then disassemble and clean the accessory.

Are the discs sharp?

Safety

• Read these instructions carefully and retain for future reference.
• Remove all packaging and any labels.
• The plates are sharp, handle with care when fitting, removing and cleaning.
• DO NOT use the attachment without the sweeper arm ⑥ fitted. If the sweeper arm is not fitted food will clog under the plate and not exit the food outlet, resulting in damage to your attachment.
• Never use your fingers to push food down the feed tube. Only use the pushers supplied with the attachment.
• Never remove the lid from the attachment until the cutting plate has completely stopped.
• Do not use excessive force to push food down the feed tube - you could damage the attachment.
• Never use a damaged attachment. Get it checked or repaired: see 'Service and customer care'.
• Do not touch moving parts.
• Unplug the appliance before fitting or removing parts or cleaning.

Refer to your main kitchen machine instruction book for additional safety warnings.

Use the Continuous slice/grater to slice and shred such looks as carrot, cucumber, cheese, potato, cabbage, nuts and chocolates.

The chipper plates can be used to cut potatoes and other firm fruit and vegetables.

- This appliance conforms to EC Regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.

Before using for the first time

1 Wash the parts: see 'Cleaning'.

Assembly and use

1 Remove the high speed outlet cover ①.
2 Fit the gearbox assembly onto the mixer ②.
3 Push the desired cutting plate onto the shaft ③. Each plate is numbered for identification and the number should be uppermost when the plate is pushed onto the shaft.
4 Fit the sweeper onto the shaft ④, with the flat surface of the sweeper against the plate.
- For best results when using the slicing/chipping plates, the sweeper arm should be positioned opposite the blade, as shown below.

5 Attach the lid assembly to the body, line up the ▼ symbol on the lid with □ on the body. Then turn to 🔒 symbol to lock into place ⑤.

6 Fit the assembled attachment onto the gearbox and turn to lock into position 6.

7 If required fit the extension chute into the food outlet and push firmly into place ⑦. The extension chute MUST be fitted when the attachment is used with the KM070/TYPE KM08/TYPE KCC90 but can also be used with all other mixers to direct the food into the collecting bowl.

8 Connect the mixer to the power supply and place a bowl under the food outlet.

9 Choose which feed tube you want to use. The pusher contains a smaller feed tube for processing individual items or thin ingredients.

To use the small feed tube - first put the larger pusher inside the feed tube 8.

To use the larger feed tube - use both pushers together ⑨.

10 Put the food inside the feed tube.

11 Switch the mixer onto speed 3 and at the same time push down evenly with the pusher - never put your fingers in the feed tube.

- At the completion of the processing operation, raising and lowering the pusher several times may help to reduce the amount of food left on the cutting plate.

12 Switch off and unplug.

Hints

• Always use fresh ingredients
- Don't cut food up too small. Fill the width of the large feed tube fairly full. This prevents the food from slipping sideways during processing. Alternatively, use the small feed tube.
- When using a chipper plate, place thin ingredients horizontally.
- When slicing or shredding, food placed upright comes out shorter than food placed horizontally.

Cleaning

● Always switch off and unplug before removing the attachment from the kitchen machine.
- Dismantle the attachment fully before cleaning.
- For easier cleaning always wash the parts immediately after use.
- Handle the cutting plates with care - they are extremely sharp.
- Never immerse the gearbox assembly in water or allow it to get wet.

All remaining parts can be washed in hot soapy water, then dried thoroughly. Take care as the cutting plates are sharp. Alternatively wash in the dishwasher (top rack only).
