Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR

SUNBEAM ELECTRIC KNIFE.

• Caution is necessary when handling the blades.

Sunbeam is 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 insert or 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 a qualified technician or
service person.

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

• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

• The temperature of accessible surfaces may be
high when the appliance is operating.

• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.

• Serrated edges of the blades are very sharp.

• Do not allow children to play with blades.

• 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 on 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 operate any electrical appliance with
a damaged cord or after the appliance has
been damaged in any manner. If damage is
suspected, return the appliance to the nearest
Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.

• 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 power to your appliances.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.

• Appliances are not intended to be operated
by means of an external timer or separate
remote control system.

• This appliance is intended to be used in
household and similar applications such
as: staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and
other working environments; farm houses; by
clients in hotels, motels and other residential
type environments; bed and breakfast type
environments.

If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,

please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.

Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

Using your Sunbeam Carveasy™
Twin Blade

1. Select coarser or finer blade set depending
on type of foods to be sliced

2. 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

3. 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.

4. 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 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.

5. 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

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
chicken 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.

Should your product develop any defect
within 12 months of purchase because of
faulty materials or workmanship, we will
replace or repair it, at our discretion, free
of charge. A product presented for repair
may be replaced by a refurbished product
of the same type rather than being

Our replacement or repair warranty only
applies where a defect arises as a result
of faulty material or workmanship during
the warranty period. Your warranty does
not cover misuse or negligent handling
(including damage caused by failing to use
the product in accordance with this
instruction booklet), accidental damage,
or normal wear and tear.

Your warranty does not:

• cover freight or any other costs incurred
in making a claim, consumable items,
accessories that by their nature and
limited lifespan require periodic renewal
(such as filters and seals) or any
consequential loss or damage; or

• cover damage caused by:

- power surges, power dips, voltage
supply problems, or use of the product
on incorrect voltage;

- servicing or modification of the
product other than by Sunbeam or an
authorised Sunbeam service centre;

- use of the product with other
accessories, attachments, product
supplies, parts or devices that do not
conform to Sunbeam specifications; or

- exposure of the product to
abnormally corrosive conditions; or

is used in commercial, industrial,
educational or rental applications.

The benefits given to you by our
warranty are in addition to other rights
and remedies under law in relation to
the product.

In Australia our goods come with
guarantees that cannot be excluded
under the Australian Consumer Law. You
are entitled to a replacement or refund
for a major failure and for compensation
for any other foreseeable loss or
damage. You are also entitled to have the
goods repaired or replaced if the goods
fail to be of acceptable quality and the
failure does not amount to a major
failure.

Our goods also come with guarantees
that cannot be excluded under the New
Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act.

If your warranty claim is not accepted, we
will inform you and if requested to do so
by you, repair the product provided you
pay the usual charges for such repair.
You will also be responsible for all freight
and other costs.

Should your product require repair or
service after the warranty period, contact
