Slow speed attachments Found at the front of your Chef or kMix stand mixer, the slow speed outlet is used for attachments that need slow, controlled speed to press or grind, such as the lasagne roller, pasta shaper attachment, food mincer, grain mill, dicing attachment and spiralizer. Slow speed attachments are available for both kMix and Chef stand mixers, including the Cooking Chef XL, Titanium Chef Baker XL and Titanium Chef Patissier XL.
High speed attachments The high-speed outlet is found at the top of your Chef stand mixer and is used to drive high-speed attachments that need maximum potential power, including the food processor attachment, ThermoResist™ glass blender, citrus juicer, Blend Xtract Sport and mini chopper/mill. Due to their sleek design, kMix mixers do not have a high-speed outlet. Chef stand mixers have both high-speed and slow-speed outlets.
Useful adapters for older attachments If you’ve always had a Kenwood stand mixer but have recently upgraded to a newer model, you may still be able to use your old slow-speed attachments. The Chef bar to twist adapter attaches to your mixer’s slow speed outlet and allows you to use older attachments (with a bar fitting) with your new stand mixer. Similarly, if your older model stand mixer is still going strong but you would like to expand its capabilities with some new attachments, the Chef twist to bar adapter allows you to use the newer twist attachments with older models. Use this compatibility guide to check whether you will need to purchase an adapter.
