Operating Instructions

The Vegetable Sheet Cutter allows you to create continuous sheets from various fruits and vegetables. Here's how to operate it:

1. Prepare your fruit or vegetable by washing it and trimming the ends to create flat surfaces. For longer items, you may need to cut them into shorter, manageable lengths (e.g., 4-5 inches).
2. Carefully center the fruit or vegetable onto the food skewer. Ensure it is firmly impaled to prevent wobbling during operation.
3. Position a bowl or plate beneath the attachment to collect the vegetable sheets.
4. Turn your KitchenAid Stand Mixer to a low speed (e.g., Speed 2). The attachment will begin to rotate and feed the produce through the blade.
5. As the sheet is produced, gently guide it to prevent tearing or tangling.
6. Continue until the entire fruit or vegetable has been processed, or until you reach the desired amount.
7. Turn off the stand mixer and carefully remove any remaining core or small pieces.

Care and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KitchenAid Vegetable Sheet Cutter Attachment:

• Blades, Adapter, Skewer, and Food Holder: These components are top-rack dishwasher safe. For best results, rinse them immediately after use to remove any food residue.
• Main Attachment Body: The main body of the attachment should be wiped clean with a warm, damp cloth. Do not immerse the main body in water or wash it in a dishwasher.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing.
• Store the attachment and its components in its original storage case for easy access and protection.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Vegetable Sheet Cutter Attachment, consider the following:

• Attachment not fitting securely: Ensure the attachment knob is fully unscrewed and the shaft is correctly aligned with the square drive socket in the power hub.
• Vegetable not feeding properly: Check that the fruit or vegetable is firmly impaled on the skewer and that its ends are trimmed flat. Ensure the mixer speed is set appropriately (low speed is recommended).
• Sheets are uneven or tearing: Verify that the blade is correctly installed and free of debris. The consistency and ripeness of the produce can also affect sheet quality.
