• Read these instructions for use in
conjunction with the illustrations
before using the appliance.
• Before plugging in, check that the
mains voltage indicated on the
rating plate (underside of
appliance) corresponds to the
mains voltage in your home.
• Be careful when handling the
blades:
- Keep the knife away from
children.
Whenever you wish to mount or
dismount the blades: first unplug!
(Then the appliance cannot be
switched on accidentally and
cause injury.)
- Always hold the blades with the
cutting edges pointing away from
you.

tongs used for keeping the food
in place while cutting.
- Preferably use a shatterproof
wooden or plastic carving board.

may be damaged by
knocking against hard

• The stainless steel blades require
no sharpening.
• Move the knife smoothly and
carefully: the cutting should be
done without effort.

• It is advisable to make a slight
carving movement with the
electric knife when it comes into
contact with the food.

(especially roast-beef)
immediately after roasting or
grilling to avoid juice spillage.

water or any other liquid.
(See section "Cleaning".)

not use the appliance when the
cord and/or the plug are damaged
in any way.
