POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, DO NOT use that outlet.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
of entanglement or tripping hazard.

AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED IF CARE IS EXERCISED IN THEIR USE:

• Minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest UL or ETL listed cord possible.
• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance.
• Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
• DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

HOW TO USE

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

• A. Interlock blades together before inserting them into the appliance.
  To assemble blades, hold the shaft ends below the safety guards and slip the rivet on the tip of the other blade. (See Figure 1) NOTE: Always use both blades when operating the electric knife with offset blades.

• B. Hold assembled blades by the safety guards for secure handling and slide shafts gently into the blade slot until clipped into position. (See Figure 2)
  WARNING: Ensure blades are locked in before plugging the appliance into power outlet.

• C. Insert the plug into a 120 volt (AC only) power outlet.
  WARNING: Ensure the cord is well away from the blades.

• D. Holding the knife with one hand, press the power button positioned under the handle to activate the motor. (See General Description) Releasing the switch will automatically stop the motor.
  WARNING: 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.
  NOTE: Due to the initial heating of the materials used in the manufacturing of the product, some light smoke/vapors may be released when used initially. This is normal.

• E. When slicing is complete, release the button and remove the polarized plug. Hold down the blade release button, grab the blades by the safety guards for secure handling with the cutting edge facing downward and pull the blades out of the slots.
  WARNING: The blades of the electric knife are sharp! Handle with care. We recommend using the guard sleeve provided when handling the blades.
  WARNING: DO NOT fit or remove blades whilst the knife is connected to the power outlet. DO NOT allow children to operate the appliance.

SLICING TIPS

1. Always place food to be sliced on a wooden or plastic cutting board and not directly on ceramic, metal, nonstick coated surfaces or countertops.
2. Guide blades through food without forcing it through. A sawing action is not necessary.
3. To maintain the sharpness of blades, do not cut through bones, fruit seeds, stones or any other hard substances.
4. For best results when carving meat and chicken allow cooked meat to sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing, this allows the juices to set and makes carving easier and neater.
5. If desired, string may be left around the meat whilst carving. Remove all strings before serving.
6. The use of a carving fork to steady the meat is recommended for straight, even slices.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the electrical outlet and allow it to completely cool down before handling or cleaning.

   WARNING: Serrated blades are very sharp. Handle with care.

4. Wash the blades in hot soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
   NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive scouring pads or powders on blades. After cleaning, always store blades in plastic sleeves.

5. To clean motorized handle wipe with a soft damp cloth.
   NOTE: Before storing your knife, a light smear of cooking oil or similar on the inner sides of the blades is suggested.
