NOTE: This knife should not be used to cut bones, frozen foods in solid form or hard seeds, stones or pits in fruit.

THIS UNIT IS INTENDED FOR

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

SAvE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Power unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the Electric Knife. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Do not immerse in water or other liquids. No liability can be accepted for any damage cause by noncompliance with these instructions or any other improper use or mishandling.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to ﬁt into a polarized outlet only

one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug ﬁts loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC KNIFE

IMPORTANT: CLEAN BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME!

See the CARE AND CLEANING section for more information.

USING YOUR ELECTRIC KNIFE

Be sure the electric cord is not connected to the outlet when inserting or removing the knife blades.

1. Pick up the knife blades by drip guards, holding the blades between the thumb and foreﬁnger. Avoid touching the sharp, scalloped edges of the blades. (Figure 1)

2. Insert the raised rivet on one blade

into the key-hole slot on the other blade. This locks the ends of the blades. (Figure 2)

3. Holding both blades with the drip

guards between the thumb and foreﬁnger, and with the scalloped edges of the blades facing away from the hand, slide the ends of the blades into the opening on the front of power handle. DO NOT PRESS THE BLADE RELEASE BUTTON WHEN INSERTING THE BLADES.

4. Push gently on each drip guard

towards the electric knife until the blades “click” into place. Make sure the blades are ﬁrmly engaged. Cutting edges of the blades should

Figure 3

be facing downward, away from the handle. (Figure 3)

5. Plug the electrical cord into an electrical outlet. Use only voltage speciﬁed on bottom of the unit.

6. Press and hold the On-Off switch located on top of the handle to activate the knife and begin carving. (Figure 4)

7. Guide the knife blades through the food to be sliced, pressing

down lightly. A back and forth sawing motion is unnecessary. The movement of the blades slices the food for you.

8. When slicing is complete, release the On-Off switch to stop the blade action. Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet.

TIPS FOR CARvING WITH THE ELECTRIC KNIFE

Use a carving board to avoid scratching china, metal platters or countertops. Allow a roast to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting. Keep in a warm place. The meat will be easier to carve. Use a fork to hold meat when carving. Remove all skewers from the meat before carving.

CARvING A STANDING RIB ROAST OF BEEF

Suggestions: Have your butcher remove the backbone of the roast and cut the rib bones short. Arrange the roast on a cutting board with the largest end of the roast down and the rib side to your left. The small end of the roast is nearest the carver. Insert a carving fork between the two top ribs. Slice across the roast from the fat edge of the rib bone. Free the slice from the bone using the special “trimming tip” of the knife.
