      Your Kenwood Kitchen Appliances processor might stop during processing due to being overloaded or exceeding maximum capacities. Check the maximum capacities stated in the recommended usage chart. Another reason might be an unlocked lid. Ensure the lid is locked on correctly.

      If your Kenwood Kitchen Appliances processor isn't operating, first, ensure it's plugged in and has power. The processor won't work if the bowl or lid aren't correctly fitted into the interlock. Check that the bowl and lid are aligned and interlocked correctly.

    Why is my Kenwood FDP22 unit unstable with heavy vibrations?
    • M
      Melissa FrancoAug 23, 2025
      If your Kenwood Kitchen Appliances unit is unstable with heavy vibrations, it may be due to processing dough for too long or exceeding maximum capacities. Use the handle on the lid to support the appliance if it starts to move. Do not process dough for longer than 30 seconds and do not exceed the maximum quantity recommended in the usage chart. Re-kneading dough in the bowl is not recommended as it may cause instability; re-knead by hand only. Also, sticky ingredients like dates can cause this issue; use 'Pulse' first to break them down, then switch to continuous operation.

      If you experience heavy splashing or ingredients being ejected from the feed tube of your Kenwood Kitchen Appliances, it's likely that the pusher is not fitted. Always fit the pusher when processing dough, pastry, and cakes to prevent splashing.

      Andrew MoraSep 7, 2025
      If your Kenwood Kitchen Appliances unit is unstable, experiences heavy vibrations, or moves, it could be due to processing dough for too long or exceeding maximum capacities. Use the handle on the lid for support if the appliance moves. Do not process doughs for longer than 30 seconds and do not exceed the maximum quantity recommended in the usage chart. Re-knead dough by hand only, as re-kneading in the bowl may cause instability. If you are processing sticky ingredients, use 'Pulse' first to break them down, then switch to continuous operation.

Overview

This document provides instructions for the Kenwood Food Processor, model FDP22. It covers the assembly, usage, and maintenance of the appliance, including its standard attachments and an "Express Serve" feature.

Function Description

The Kenwood FDP22 is a versatile food processor designed for various kitchen tasks. Its primary function is to process food efficiently and safely. It comes with a main bowl and several attachments, including a knife blade for chopping and mixing, and grating/slicing discs for preparing ingredients like vegetables and cheese. The appliance is powered by a motor unit and operated via an on/off switch with a pulse function, allowing for precise control over processing. The "Express Serve" feature is a specialized attachment that allows food to be processed directly into a separate bowl, offering convenience for continuous processing or serving.

Usage Features

The food processor is designed for ease of assembly and use. Before first use, all plastic blade covers must be removed from the knife blade, and all parts should be washed. The cord needs to be fully unwound before plugging in the appliance.

Assembly and Operation (Main Bowl):

To assemble, the bowl is first placed onto the power unit, followed by the desired attachment (knife blade or disc). The lid is then secured onto the bowl, ensuring it is locked into place. The feed tube on the lid allows ingredients to be added during operation, with a pusher provided to safely guide food down. The appliance will not operate if the bowl or lid are not correctly fitted and interlocked, a safety feature.

Knife Blade Usage:

The knife blade is suitable for tasks like chopping, mixing, and preparing bread dough. For bread dough, dry ingredients are added first, followed by liquid, and processed until a smooth, elastic ball forms. For coarser textures, the pulse control is recommended. Users should avoid over-processing and, when making pastry, use cold fat cut into 2cm cubes. An example recipe for prune marinade is provided, suggesting processing for 4 seconds using the pulse function.

Grating/Slicing Discs Usage:

When using the grating/slicing discs, the knife blade must be removed from the bowl. The discs are used for tasks like grating cheese or slicing vegetables. It's important to use fresh ingredients and fill the width of the feed tube fairly full to prevent food from slipping sideways. A small amount of unprocessed food may remain on the disc or in the bowl after processing.

Express Serve Feature:

The "Express Serve" attachment is designed for direct serving. It involves fitting a slinger plate under the grating/slicing disc, which directs processed food out of a dedicated food outlet into a separate bowl. This feature is particularly useful for continuous processing without needing to empty the main bowl. It is crucial to ensure the slinger plate is fitted correctly, as failure to do so can cause food to clog and damage the attachment. The "Express Serve" should not be run continuously for longer than 2 minutes, with a 2-minute cool-down period between operations.

General Usage Guidelines:

  • Safety First: Always read instructions carefully. Do not touch sharp blades directly; handle them by the finger grip. The appliance is not suitable for processing ice cubes or hot ingredients. Hot liquids should be handled with care to avoid sudden steaming.
  • Interlock Mechanism: The appliance relies on a safety interlock system. Excessive force on this mechanism can cause damage and injury.
  • Feed Tube: Always use the pusher to guide food down the feed tube; never use fingers. Avoid excessive force.
  • Attachments: Only one attachment (knife blade or disc) should be fitted at a time in the main bowl.
  • Dough Processing: Do not process dough for longer than 30 seconds without a rest period to prevent damage to the appliance. Continuous processing for longer periods can cause damage.
  • Unattended Operation: Never leave the appliance unattended while operating or move it during operation.
  • Capacities: Do not exceed the maximum capacities stated in the usage chart.
  • Cord Adjustment: The cord can be wrapped around the base of the processor to adjust its length and secured with the cord clip.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the Kenwood FDP22.

Cleaning:

  • Before Cleaning: Always switch off and unplug the appliance.
  • Power Unit: Wipe the power unit with a damp cloth and dry it. Ensure the interlock area is clear of food debris. Do not immerse the power unit in water.
  • Blades and Discs: Handle blades and cutting discs with extreme care as they are very sharp.
  • Other Parts: All other removable parts (bowl, lid, pusher, attachments) can be washed. Refer to the cleaning illustration for guidance.

Storage:

After use, the knife blade and disc can be stored together in the bowl for convenience.

Troubleshooting:

A detailed troubleshooting guide is provided to address common issues such as the processor not operating, stopping during processing, or poor performance. This guide helps users identify causes and solutions, such as checking if the appliance is plugged in, if the bowl and lid are correctly fitted and interlocked, or if maximum capacities have been exceeded.

Service and Customer Care:

For any issues not resolved by troubleshooting, Kenwood customer care can be contacted. Users are advised to have their model number (e.g., TYPE: FDP22) and date code ready. Information on authorized repairers and spare parts is also provided. The product is covered by a warranty, subject to terms of use and proper maintenance.

Important Information:

  • Plug and Fuse: Details on wiring colors (Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live) and fuse replacement are provided for safety.
  • Food Contact Materials: The appliance conforms to EC Regulation 1935/2004 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
  • WEEE Compliance: Instructions for correct disposal of the product at the end of its working life are given, emphasizing that it should not be disposed of as urban waste but taken to a special local authority collection center or a dealer providing this service.

This comprehensive guide ensures users can effectively and safely operate and maintain their Kenwood FDP22 food processor.
