The wire coloured blue is the neutral and must

or coloured red.
On no account must either the brown or
the blue wire be connected to the [EARTH]

Always ensure that the cord grip is fastened
correctly.
The plug must be fitted with a fuse of the
same rating already fitted and conforming to

If in doubt consult a qualified electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you.
Non-Rewireable Mains Plug.
If your appliance is supplied with a non-
rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and
should the fuse need replacing, you must use
an ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362
of the same rating).
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician who
will be pleased to do this for you.
If you need to remove the plug – disconnect
it from the mains – and then cut it off of the
mains lead and immediately dispose of it in a
safe manner. Never attempt to reuse the plug

any.

4. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner.
Preparing The Knife:
Note: DO NOT plug the knife into the mains before the blades have been inserted.
1. To prepare the knife for use, begin by installing the blades. To do this, start by removing them
from their protective package, taking care to keep your palm on the dull side of the blade and
your fingers away from the sharp edge.
2. Lay both blades parallel to each other with the metal pin from one blade to be locked into the
slot of the other.
3. Grip both blades together at the blade guard and glide into the housing until they snap in.
4. Test the locked-in security of the blades by applying a light pressure in the reverse direction.
When attempting to remove the blades to test their security, it is recommended to have the
protective sheath fitted in order to avoid an accident.
5. The appliance is now ready for operation.
Removing The Blades:
1. To remove the blades, begin by unplugging the unit from the mains.
2. Once the unit is unplugged, press the blade release button and pull the blades upwards and
away from the main body of the unit until they detach completely.
Note: When removing the blades, take care to keep your palm on the dull side of the blade and your
fingers away from the sharp edge.
CAUTION! ALWAYS disconnect the knife from the mains when removing the blades, to prevent
injury.
Using Your Electric Knife:
1. Carefully remove the protective sleeve from the blades.

automatically turn off.
