Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Sunbeam are very safety conscious when designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that the product user also exercise care when using an electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:

• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with an appliance.

• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.

• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.

• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and tested by your nearest Service Centre or qualified technician.

• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (AC only) marked on the underside of the appliance.

• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is being used near children or infirm persons.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.

• Young children or infirm persons should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame, electric element or in a heated oven. Do not place on top of any other appliance.

• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.

• Do not immerse in water.

• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by unskilled persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using tamperproof means as specified by SAA (Standards Association of Australia). Such appliances should always be returned to the nearest Service Centre for adjustment or repair if required.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner; If damage is suspected, return the appliance to the nearest Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment. As a service to customers, Service Centres may carry out a free check on your appliance to ensure it is electrically safe.

• For additional protection Sunbeam recommend the use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying the power outlet in use.

Using your Sunbeam 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 diagram 1). Bring blades together ensuring tips remain together.

Note: Always use both blades when operating the Carveasy and the Carveasy Pro.

2. Hold assembled blades by the safety guards and slide shafts gently into the blade slot until clipped into position (see diagram 2).

Warning: Only when blades are fitted should the cord be connected to the power outlet.

3. Insert the plug into a 230-240 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 safety 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. Slide back the Blade Release, hold the blades by the safety guards with the cutting edge facing downward and pull the blades out of the slots (see diagram 3).

Warning: The blades of your Sunbeam Carveasy and Carveasy Pro 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.

Always 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. Guide blades through food. A sawing action is not necessary. Do not force blades through food. To maintain the sharpness of blades, do not cut through bones, fruit pips or stones or any other hard substances.

For best results when carving meat and poultry allow cooked meat to stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. this allows the juices to set and makes carving easier and neater.

Before carving meat or chicken, remove skewers. If desired, string may be left around the meat whilst carving. The use of a carving fork to steady the meat assists in carving straight, even slices. Do not attempt to sharpen blades.

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 and dry 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.

Before storing your knife, a light smear of cooking oil or similar on the inside of the blade is suggested.
