Using your Knife
1. Interlock blades together before inserting
into the appliance. To assemble blades,
grasp shaft ends below the safety guards
and slip the rivet on the tip of the other
blade. See Figure 1. Bring blades together
ensuring tips remain together.
Note: Always use both blades when operating
the Carveasy™ Classic.
2. Hold assembled blades by the safety
guards and slide shafts gently into the
blade slot until clipped into position.
See Figure 2.
Warning: Only when blades are fitted should
the cord be connected to the power outlet.

3. Insert the plug into a 120 volt (AC only) power outlet and ensure the cord is well
away from the blades. Holding the knife with one hand, slide and press the double
movement power trigger positioned under the handle to activate the motor. Releasing
the switch will automatically stop the motor.
Warning: Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing and other utensils
away from moving blades during operation to prevent personal injury and/or damage to
the knife.
4. When slicing is completed, turn the power
off at the power outlet and remove the
plug. Get down button to release, hold
the blades by the safety guards with the cutting edge facing downward and pull the
blades out of the slots.
Warning: The blades of your Sunbeam Carveasy™ are sharp! Handle with extreme
care. We recommend using the guard sleeve provided when handling the blades. Do not
fit or remove blades whilst the knife is connected to the power outlet. Do not allow
children to operate the appliance.
Slicing hints
1.Always place food to be sliced on a wooden or plastic cutting board.
2.Do not slice food on china; metal or bench tops, as scratching may occur.
3.Guide blades through food.
4.A sawing action is not necessary.
5.Do not force blades through food.
6.To maintain the sharpness of blades, do not cut through bones, fruit pips or stones or any
other hard substances.
7.For best results when carving meat and chicken allow cooked meat to stand for 10-15
minutes before slicing, this allows the juices to set and makes carving easier and neater.
8.Before carving meat or chicken, remove skewers.
9.If desired, string may be left around the meat whilst carving.
10.The use of a carving fork to steady the meat assists in carving straight, even slices.
11.Do not attempt to sharpen blades.
12.We recommend when slicing foods like bread, a light smear of cooking oil, margarine
or similar, on the inside of the blades will reduce the friction.
Care and Cleaning
Warning: Ensure the unit is switched off and the plug removed from the power outlet
before removing the blades and/or cleaning.
Unlock the blades by sliding apart. Always hold blades by the shaft end, behind the safety
guard, when handling and cleaning.Wash the blades in hot soapy water with a soft cloth or
sponge. Rinse thoroughly anddry completely. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
powders on blades. After cleaning, always store blades in plastic sleeves. To clean motor
housing wipe with a soft damp cloth.
