Frequently Asked Questions - KN650A KENWOOD

How do I assemble the blades?

Hold the blades by their handles and interlock them together with the cutting edge facing downwards. Use the finger grips to insert the blades into the knife body and push into place until they click.

Can I cut frozen food with this knife?

Yes, use the freezer blades (larger teeth) for partially thawed or lightly frozen food. Do not use for deep frozen food.

How do I clean the blades?

Separate the blades carefully. They are dishwasher safe or can be washed by hand. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. Always switch off and unplug before removing or cleaning blades.

What should I not cut with the electric knife?

Never attempt to cut bones, food containing stones or seeds, food in wrappers (aluminium foil, plastic film), or other hard food. Do not use the same blades on raw and cooked meat without thorough washing.

How do I remove the blades?

After use, release the operating button and unplug. Hold onto the finger grips, press the eject button, and withdraw the blades from the body.

Is the blade cover necessary?

Place the blades onto the food, press the operating button, and apply light and even downward pressure. Do not use a sawing action. The knife cuts automatically vertically or at an angle.

Can I use the knife for anything other than food?

What if the power cord is damaged?

If the plug or cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Kenwood or an authorised Kenwood repairer to avoid a hazard. Do not use the appliance.
