CLEANING YOUR ELECTRIC KNIFE

Unplug cord from the electrical outlet.

Press the blade release button and gently remove both blades from the knife.
Slide the blades apart so the rivet on one blade is disengaged from the key-hole slot
on the other blade.

Hold blades by the drip guards and wash in warm, sudsy water. Rinse blades
and dry thoroughly. Be careful – blades are SHARP.

Wipe unit with a damp cloth.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER OR

OTHER LIQUIDS.

S

TORAGE

Coil the electrical cord of the knife with a twist fastener. Store the knife in a clean,
dry location such as a cabinet or cupboard shelf. Slide plastic cover over blades
and store blades in a drawer.

M

AINTENANCE

Do not attempt to sharpen the knife blades. Under normal use and care they will provide
years of satisfactory use.

The motor of your electric slicing knife has been carefully lubricated at the factory using
selected lubricants. It does not require any additional oil for the life of the unit.

Other than the recommended cleaning, no further user maintenance is necessary. Return
the electric slicing knife to your nearest authorized service center for servicing or repairs.

TIPS FOR CARVING WITH THE ELECTRIC K NIFE

Use a carving board to avoid scratching china or metal platters.

Allow a roast to stand 15 to 20 minutes after roasting. Keep in a warm place.
The meat will be easier to carve.

Remove all skewers from the meat before carving.

USING THE 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 A).

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 B).

3.

Holding the 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 the blades should be facing
downward, away from the handle (Figure C).

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

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

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.

CARVING A STANDING RIB ROAST OF B EEF

Suggestions: Have your butcher remove the backbone of the roast and cut the rib bones
short.

Arrange the roast on a platter or 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.

CARVING A WHOLE HAM OR ROAST LEG OF LAMB

Place the leg of lamb or whole ham on the carving board with the shank end to the right
of the carver. For a ham, turn the scored, fat-side up. For the leg of lamb, place the roast
so that the meaty section faces away from the carver.

Insert a meat fork into the heavy part of the meat and cut several lengthwise slices
from the less meaty side.

Turn the ham or leg of lamb so that it rests upright on the cut surface. Cut a wedge from
the shank end by starting at the base of the bulge and slicing down to the leg bone.
Then, make another cut at an angle to this, close to the shank end. Lift out the wedge.

Starting at the shank end, cut thin, uniform slices down to the leg bone.

To release the slices, run the electric knife under the slices, parallel to the leg bone.

CARVING A ROAST TURKEY OR C HICKEN

Arrange the turkey or chicken on a carving board with the legs facing right. Starting at the
side facing the carver, cut the leg from the body by grasping the leg with your left hand,
pulling gently while cutting through the meat and the joint at the thigh.

Place the leg on the carving board and cut through the joint to sever the thigh bone from
the drumstick. Slice the meat from the leg and thigh, carving parallel to the bone.

Insert the meat fork into the breast meat to secure the body. Sever the wing from the body
by carving through the joint.

Start carving the breast just above the joint where the wing was removed. Cut thin slices
of white meat, carving downward and cutting parallel to the breast bone.

SLICING A LOA F OF BREAD, AN ANGEL FOOD,

C

HIFFON OR SPONGE CAKE

To avoid crushing a fresh loaf of bread or sponge-type cakes, gently guide the electric
knife through the bread or cake, cutting slices as thin as desired.
