This manual provides essential information on how to safely and effectively use and maintain your new attachment.
Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly attach the slicer shredder to your Kitchenaid Stand Mixer:
- Ensure your Kitchenaid Stand Mixer is turned off and unplugged.
- Remove the attachment hub cover on the front of your stand mixer.
- Insert the attachment housing into the power hub, ensuring the power shaft fits into the square socket.
- Tighten the attachment hub knob clockwise until the attachment is securely fastened.
- Select the desired blade and insert it into the housing, ensuring it clicks into place.
- Place a bowl or container beneath the attachment to collect processed food.
Operating Instructions
Once the attachment is securely installed and a blade is in place, you can begin processing food:
- Plug in your stand mixer and turn it to the recommended speed setting (usually low to medium for shredding/slicing).
- Place food items into the food chute. For best results, cut larger items to fit the opening.
- Use the food pusher to gently guide the food towards the rotating blade. Never use your fingers or other utensils to push food into the chute.
- Processed food will exit through the front of the attachment into your collection bowl.
Blade Functions:
- Slicing Blade: Ideal for uniform slices of cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, and zucchini.
- Fine Shredding Blade: Perfect for finely shredded carrots, cabbage for coleslaw, or soft cheeses.
- Coarse Shredding Blade: Suitable for coarse shredding of hard cheeses, carrots, beets, and other firm vegetables.
- Grinding Powder Blade: Designed for grinding nuts, chocolate, or hard cheeses into a fine powder.
