INSTALLATION & USE

The Cheese-O-Matic® is a safe, hand-operated cutting device, that allows you to cut both young and ripened cheese fast, perfectly and straight. Even cutting very aged, crumbly cheese is no problem with the Cheese-O-Matic®. Not only can it be used to halve large cheeses, but also for cutting smaller pieces or thick slices, always with an impeccably clean and straight cutting edge. The Cheese-O-Matic® can of course also be used as a cutting board!

Use the counter hooks to fixate the Cheese-O-Matic® to your countertop. Follow these steps to install the mounting hooks:

Attention! Place the counter hooks on the side the handle is on.

  1. Place the Cheese-O-Matic® upside down.

  2. Place the clamp guide over the aluminum profile and fasten it to the cutting board using the supplied screws.

  3. Repeat on the other side.

  4. Place the clamp in the clamp guide. Leave the turning knob somewhat loose.

HOW TO CUT CHEESE

The device is suitable for dividing all young, semi-hard or crumbly cheeses into wedges. For extended instruction, please visit www.boska.com or our YouTube channel.

  1. Position the cheese on the cutting board, against the positioning pins.

  2. Always create an incision in the cheese rind using the scoring knife (available separately). This extends the lifespan of the wire significantly.

  3. Take the handle and pull the wire against the cheese, in the incision. Keep the other hand on the cheese, out of reach of the wire. Pull the wire through the cheese.

CLEANING

  • Clean the Cheese-O-Matic® daily after final use.
  • The Cheese-O-Matic® needs to be cleaned between switching to a different type of cheese to prevent cross-contamination.
  •  Use hot water, a soft brush and a neutral cleaning detergent, such as green soap or dish soap, to clean the Cheese-O-Matic®. The Cheese-O-Matic® can also be cleaned in the dishwasher (exclusively the white plastic edition, article 550500). For optimal lifespan, do not wash the cutting wire in the dishwasher.
  • Do not use water hotter than 70°C (160°F) to prevent damage to the plastic parts.
  • Never use hard brushes, scratching materials, soda-chlorine- disinfectants or aggressive cleaning detergents for cleaning.
  • Flush the Cheese-O-Matic® with water after cleaning. Dry the machine thoroughly to prevent the deterioration of parts due to dust and moisture.

WARNINGS

  • At all times create an incision in the cheese rind at the wire entry point. This greatly extends the lifespan of the wire.

REPLACING THE CUTTING WIRE

Cutting wires are available for pre-order on www.boska.com, article no. 552010.

  • Twist half the handle, so it comes loose from the thread.
  • Slide the loop off the thread.
  • Place the machine upside down.

  • Place a small flat-head screwdriver behind the block in the rail, as shown in the illustration on the right. Then push the block towards you, so the ball of the wire lines up with the round opening in the rail.

  • Now that the ball is lined up with the opening, the ball can be pushed out by pushing the wire up from below. Then pull the whole wire through the rails.
  • The new wire can be placed by pulling the wire through the round opening. One the ball is in position, the screwdriver can be released.
  • Lastly, the wire can be attached to the handle as shown in step 1.
