USING YOUR ELECTRIC KNIFE
Fitting the Blades:
When fitting the knife blades, your device must not be connected to the mains.
WARNING: There is risk of injury!
1. Remove the blades from the
protective sleeve (see left Fig.1). Grip the
blades with your thumb and index finger, so
that the cutting edges point downwards. Then
press the ends of the blades into the
appropriate opening, until they lock into
position with an audible click (see left Fig.2).
2. Connect the device to the mains and
press the on/off switch (see left Fig.3).
3. Now you can begin cutting. Always
keep the electric knife still. As the backwards
and forwards motion of the knife, to which
you are usually accustomed to when using an
ordinary knife; now occurs automatically.
Cutting occurs smoothly and effortlessly. You
can use your electric knife to cut vertically or
diagonally, as required.
Caution: Never attempt to cut frozen food or
bones! The knife is not designed to perform
these tasks. With poultry or game legs, cut
until the knife touches the bone and use the
tip of the blade to separate the meat.
WARNING:
• As this can be a dangerous appliance, please handle the blades with caution.
• Depress the button at the tip of the knife and insert the blades into the slot provided.
Make sure the blades are firmly embedded.
• Your knife is now ready for use. Make sure your hand stays away from the blade.
• The knife should be suitable for cutting vegetables, meat (thawed), and bread. DO NOT
USE to cut frozen meat or bones.
4. When you have finished cutting, release the button and pull out the mains plug. Press the
eject button and the blades can then be easily removed (see above Fig.4).
CARE & CLEANING
• The blades are manufactured in stainless steel and are therefore easy to clean. It is best to
use warm soapy water. If you wish to clean the blades individually, push the blades upwards
along the guiding slot until they can be lifted over the metal pin. This procedure is reversed
for assembly. Other than cleaning, the blades do not require any special maintenance.
• Regrinding is not necessary, as the blades always remain sharp due to the constant two-way
friction.
• After cleaning, please keep the blades in the protective sleeve. The device itself is best
cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and then dried.
