•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 sharpness of blades, do not
cut through frozen foods, bones, fruit pips,
stones or any other hard substances.
•For best results when car ing meat and
poultry allow cooked meat to stand for
10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows
the juices to set and makes car ing easier
and neater.
•Before car ing meat or chicken, remo e
any skewers. If desired, string may be left
around the meat whilst car ing.
•A car ing fork is recommended for
steadying the meat and assists in car ing
e en slices.
•Do not attempt to sharpen blades.
