POLARIZED PLUG This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade
is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature by modify-
ing the plug in any way.
ELECTRICAL CORD The cord length of this knife was selected to
reduce safety hazards that may occur with a
longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an
extension cord with a polarized plug may be
used. It should be rated not less than 10
amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters
Laboratories listing. A properly rated extension
cord may be purchased from a Black & Decker
(U.S.) Inc., Household Appliance Company-
Owned or Authorized Service Center. When
using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape
over a working area or dangle where it could
be pulled on or tripped over. Handle cord care-
fully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it
at outlet and appliance connections.
SUGGESTED USES: Use the SlimGrip®Electric Knife for foods
such as:
• roasts • salami
• hard cheese • pineapple
• turkey/chicken • homemade bread
BEFORE USING CAUTION: Be sure the Safety Lock Button is in
the “Lock” position before inserting or remov-
ing Blades. Insert Blades so that the serrated
edge is facing down AWAY from you (see
Figure A, Page 4). NEVER place your hand over
the blade to support it while operating this
knife. The Blades are designed to slide back
and forth to provide cutting action.

6
REMOVING BLADES To remove the Blades, press the Blade Release
Buttons on both sides of the Handle. Grasp the
Blades on the flat area in front of the Grease
Guards and pull away from the Handle.
PAIRING /TRIMMING The SlimGrip®Deluxe Electric Knife (Model
EK200) includes 6-3/4” Pairing/Trimming
Blades which provide greater flexibility for
hard-to-reach areas and smaller foods.
Use the Pairing/Trimming Blades to
trim or slice foods such as:
• apples • potatoes
• onions • pepperoni
NOTE: Before inserting the Pairing/Trimming
Blades, be sure the Lock Button is in the
“Lock” position and the cord is unplugged.
CLEANING Other than the care mentioned in this manual,
no additional maintenance or servicing of this
appliance is required. Repairs, if necessary,
must be performed by a Black & Decker (U.S.)
Inc. Household Appliance Company-Owned or
Authorized Service Center.
Before cleaning any part of the Electric Knife,
move the Lock Button to the “Locked” posi-
tion, unplug the cord, and remove the Blades.
Be sure to dry all parts thoroughly before next
use.
