HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE ELECTRIC KNIFE AND USE IT

Always ensure the knife is unplugged from the mains before fitting the blades.
1. Interlock blades together before inserting into the base unit. To assemble blades, grasp shaft
ends below the safety guards and slip the rivet on the tip of the other blade (see Diagram
below). Bring blades together ensuring tips remain together.
Note: Always use both blades when operating the Electric Knife.
2. Hold assembled blades by the safety guards and fit the shafts into the blade-slot until they click
into position (see Diagram below). Gently and carefully try to pull out the blades. If the blades
do not move they are fixed to main body correctly.

Holding the knife with one hand, press the safety switch to activate the ON/OFF switch and
then press the ON/OFF switch to operate the appliance. Releasing the switch will automatically
stop the appliance.
4. When slicing is completed, turn the power off at the power outlet and remove the plug
immediately. Hold the Blade Release buttons, hold the blades by the safety guards with the
cutting edge facing downward and pull the blades out of the slots.

HINTS AND TIPS

• A lways place food to be sliced on a wooden or plastic cutting board. Do not slice food on
china; metal or worktops, as scratching may occur.
• G uide blades through food. A sawing action is not necessary. Do not force blades through
food.
• T o maintain the sharpness of blades, do not cut through frozen foods, bones, fruit pips or
stones or any other hard substances.
• F or best results when carving meat and poultry allow cooked meat to stand for 5 minutes
before slicing. This allows the juices to set and makes carving easier and neater.
• B efore carving meat or chicken, remove any skewers. If desired, string may be left around the
meat whilst carving.
• T he use of a carving fork to steady the meat assists in carving straight, even slices.
• Do not attempt to sharpen blades
