IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
4.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
3. If a longer extension cord is used:
a.) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b.) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other);
follow the instructions below:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
DO NOT DRAPE CORD!
KEEP AWAY
FROM CHILDREN!

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 Figure 1. Bring blades together ensuring
tips remain together.
2. While blades are safely in the plastic sleeve,
hold assembled blades by the safety guards
and slide shafts gently into the blade slot until
clipped into position. See Figure 2.
3. Insert the plug into a 120V AC 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.
4. When slicing is completed, release the trigger
to turn the power o and unplug the electric
knife. Hold the Blade Release Button, hold the
blades by the safety guards with the cutting
edge facing downward and carefully pull the
blades out of the slots.
Caution:
· Only when blades are
inserted should the cord
be connected to the
power outlet.
· 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.
· The blades are sharp!
Handle with extreme
care. We recommend
using the plastic
sleeve provided when
handling the blades.
Do not fit or remove
blades while the knife is
connected to the power
outlet. Do not allow
children to operate the
appliance.

Slicing Tips
8.
1. Always place food to be sliced on a wooden or
plastic cutting board.
2. Do not slice food on glass; metal or counter top
surface, as scratching may occur.
3. Guide blades through food.
4. A sawing action is not necessary.
5. Do not force blades through food.
6. To maintain the sharpness of blades, do not cut
through bones, fruit pits or stones, or any other
hard substances.
7. 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.
8. Before carving meat or chicken, remove
skewers.
9. If desired, string may be left around the meat
while carving.
10. The use of a carving fork to steady the meat
assists in carving straight, even slices.
11. Do not attempt to sharpen blades.
12. We recommend when slicing foods like bread,
a light coating of cooking oil, margarine or
similar, on the inside of the blades will reduce
the friction.
