Generic operation
Understanding the purpose of this sharp paddle is easy. In your Kenwood meat grinder, the auger pushes the ground meat inside the body of the accessory, and before the die, the cross blade is positioned, which rotates to grind the meat evenly just before it exits. This action ensures homogeneous and quick grinding. If the metal loses its edge, the appliance fails to cut well, ruining the final result of the recipe.

Symptoms, what problems can a faulty meat cutting blade cause?
Question: How do I know if the blade of my meat grinder is worn to the point of needing replacement?
Answer: The most evident signal is that the appliance struggles significantly to chop the food. Additionally, the motor overheats quickly during regular use.

Question: Why does this specific component break over time?
Answer: The most common reasons include the natural and progressive wear of the blade's edge, as well as inadequate or poor manual drying, which over time generates extensive oxidation, permanently damaging the metal.

How to preserve the component's lifespan
To extend the lifespan of the rotating blade for your Kenwood meat grinder, it is highly recommended to pay attention to some basic cleaning rules. At the end of your cooking work, remove the piece from the machine body and wash it thoroughly by hand with warm water and a neutral detergent. Never leave the component wet to avoid material corrosion. Additionally, before storing it away, you can lightly oil the surface with food-grade oil to protect the entire metal.

Advice from the service center
As true industry experts, we suggest you always and carefully check that the code KW344224 is exactly the one indicated in the manual for your Kenwood appliance (reading the label and the A940, AT940, AWAT940001 carefully). Also, remember that inserting meat already cut into small cubes will prevent excessive strain on the knife and the powerful motor of your meat grinder. One last and crucial piece of advice: absolutely avoid sharpening the blade with DIY methods unless you are a professional, as incorrect or asymmetric sharpening could ruin the grinding group in an instant.
