Before First Use

Remove any packaging material and

When unpacking the electric knife,

check to see you have received all

the required parts before discarding

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.

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
