Before First Use
Remove any packaging material and
promotional labels.
When unpacking the electric knife,
check to see you have received all
the required parts before discarding
the packaging.
Carefully remove the plastic sleeve
from the blades.
Wash the blades with warm soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

To Attach the Blades to the
Motor Body

before inserting into the motor

blades by the safety guards,
align the rivet on the one blade
with the hole on the other blade,
then slide until the tips of the two
blades are even (See Fig. 1).

NOTE: Always use both blades
when operating the Electric

handle, press and hold down the
'START' button using your thumb
to activate the motor. Now foods
such as meat or bread can be
sliced.
3. When slicing is complete, switch
off the motor by removing your
finger from the ‘START’ button,
then switch off at the power
outlet and remove the power
plug from the outlet.
WARNING: Avoid contact
with moving parts. Keep
hands, hair, clothing and
other utensils away from

operation to prevent
personal injury and/or
damage to the electric
knife.

Handy Tips
• Place food to be sliced on
a wooden or plastic cutting
board. Do not slice food on
china, metal or bench tops, as
scratching may occur.
• There is no need to apply force
or use a sawing action when
slicing food; simply guide blades
through the food in even slices.
• Do not slice through frozen food,
bones, fruit pips, stones or any
other hard substances as this
may damage the blades.
• Allow meat or poultry to rest for
10-15 minutes before slicing. This
allows the juices to set so carving
is easier and neater.
• Make sure to remove any
skewers before carving meat or
poultry. Any string tied around
meat however can be left on if
desired whilst carving.
• For added control while carving,
use a carving fork to keep the
meat steady.
• Never sharpen or attempt to
sharpen the blades.

Care, Cleaning and Storage
WARNING: Ensure the
power outlet is switched
off and the plug is
removed from the outlet
before removing the
blades and/or cleaning.
Always switch off the electric knife
and disconnect from the power
outlet before removing blades and
cleaning.
Remove the blades from the motor
body and separate the two blades
before cleaning as per the instructions
on page 8.
Wash the blades in warm, soapy
water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
powders on the blades.
Do not place any part of the electric
knife in the dishwasher.
Store the blades in the plastic sleeve
provided after cleaning.
Wipe the motor housing and cord
with a damp cloth only. Never
immerse the motor housing in water or
any other liquid.
NOTE: When handling the
blades, always hold by the safety
guards as blades are very sharp.
