3. Insert Drive Shaft: If not already in place, insert the main drive shaft into the center of the food processor bowl.
4. Attach Chip Cutter Disc: Carefully place the Kenwood Food Chip Cutter disc onto the drive shaft. Ensure the disc is seated securely and flat within the bowl. The central hub of the disc should align with the drive shaft.
5. Secure Lid: Close and lock the food processor lid according to your specific food processor's instructions. Ensure the safety lock feature is engaged.
6. Power On: You may now plug in and switch on your food processor.

Note: Always handle the disc by its edges to avoid contact with the sharp blade.

4. Operating Instructions

The Kenwood Food Chip Cutter is designed for efficiently cutting vegetables, particularly potatoes, into chip or fry shapes. Follow these steps for optimal results:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and peel vegetables (e.g., potatoes) as required. Cut larger vegetables into pieces that will fit comfortably into the food processor's feed tube.
2. Select Speed: Refer to your food processor's manual for recommended speed settings for slicing/chipping. Generally, a medium to high speed is suitable.
3. Process Food: With the food processor running, feed the prepared vegetables through the feed tube using the pusher. Apply even, gentle pressure. Do not force food into the feed tube.
4. Monitor Progress: Observe the processed food collecting in the bowl. Stop the processor once all ingredients are processed or the bowl is full.
5. Unload: Switch off and unplug the food processor. Carefully remove the lid, then lift out the chip cutter disc by its central hub or edges. Empty the processed food from the bowl.

Caution: The blade is very sharp. Exercise extreme care when handling the disc.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and performance of your Kenwood Food Chip Cutter.

• Immediate Cleaning: Clean the disc immediately after each use to prevent food residue from drying and sticking.
• Hand Washing: It is recommended to hand wash the disc using warm, soapy water. Use a brush to safely remove any food particles from the blade. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
• Dishwasher Safety: While some Kenwood accessories are dishwasher safe, consult your food processor's manual or Kenwood's official guidelines for specific dishwasher compatibility of this disc. If dishwasher safe, place it on the top rack.
• Drying: Dry the disc completely with a soft cloth before storing to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Storage: Store the disc in a safe place where the blade is protected and cannot cause accidental injury.

Warning: Always handle the blade with extreme caution. Keep out of reach of children.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Kenwood Food Chip Cutter, consider the following common solutions:

• Disc Not Spinning:
  • Ensure the food processor lid is correctly closed and locked. The safety lock feature must be engaged for the appliance to operate.
  • Verify the disc is properly seated on the drive shaft.
  • Check if the food processor itself is plugged in and powered on.
• Poor Cutting Performance:
  • Ensure the ingredients are firm enough for chipping. Overly soft or mushy vegetables may not cut cleanly.
  • Do not overload the feed tube. Feed ingredients one at a time or in small batches.
  • Apply consistent, gentle pressure with the pusher.
• Unusual Noise/Vibration:
  • Switch off and unplug the processor immediately.
  • Check for any foreign objects in the bowl or around the disc.
  • Ensure the disc is correctly installed and not wobbling.

If problems persist, refer to your Kenwood Multipro food processor's main instruction manual or contact Kenwood customer support.
