Wash the stainless steel blades in warm, soapy water, then dry thoroughly.

ASSEMBLING BLADES

• Hold the blade ends by the safety guards and slip the rivet on the key hole of the other blade.

UNPLUGGED.

INSERTING BLADES

• Remove the blades from the protective covering (see

g 1). Hold assembled blades by the safety guards and

insert the blades into the blade slot pushing until both

blades are locked into position (see Fig 2).

NOTE: Always ensure blades are fully secured into
position.

REMOVING BLADES

• Depress the blade release buttons with one hand, at
the same time pulling the blades off with the safety
guards with the other hand.

USING YOUR ELECTRIC KNIFE

• Interlock the blades together before inserting into the
appliance.

• Insert the plug into a power outlet and switch on.
Ensure the cord is clear from the blades.

• Holding the knife with the handle, depress the On/Off
switch on the top to operate the knife, the knife will then
operate.

• When the carving is completed, remove the plug from

the power outlet.
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. However

, with the blades for frozen food, a light sawing action will

help the cutting performance.

• To maintain sharpness of blades, do not cut through
bones, fruit pips, stones or any other hard substances
or use the standard blade for frozen food.

• 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 any skewers.

9

James Martin by Wahl

If desired, string may be left around the meat while
carving.

• A carving fork is recommended for steadying the meat
and assists in carving even slices

• Do not attempt to sharpen blades.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

before removing the blades and/or cleaning.

• Depress the Blade Release Button and hold the blades
by the Safety Guards.

• Ensure the cutting edge of the blades facing
downwards. Remove the blades from the housing as
previous instruction.

• Unlock the blades by sliding them apart. Always hold
blades by the Safety Guards when handling and
cleaning.

• Wash the blades in warm soapy water with a soft
cloth or sponge, do not wash in a dishwasher, rinse
thoroughly and dry completely before storing safely
away.

• Do not use abrasive scouring pads or powders on the

blades.

• After cleaning, always store blades in plastic sleeve
provided.

• To clean motor housing wipe with a soft damp cloth.
