USE AND CARE

Assembling the Blades

1. Place storage case on a flat surface with Waring logo facing up. Open lid by lifting interlock latch between handles. Lift top to open

2. Carefully remove blades from storage case. Before first use, separate the blades and wash them in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher. CAUTION: BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE WITH CARE. Dry thoroughly.

3. Attach the blades by inserting the rivet on one blade into the keyhole of the other blade.

Using Your Waring™ Commercial Cordless Electric Knife

1. Be sure to fully charge your electric knife for 4 hours prior to first use.

2. The blades must be assembled before fitting into knife.

Caution: Always engage lockout before handling blades or blade guide.

Holding the blades with the serrated edge away from you, insert blades until you hear a click. The blades may not line up evenly when properly inserted.

Caution: The blades are very sharp; be careful when handling them.

1. Slide the safety lock to the unlock position and press/hold the thumb control to activate the electric knife.

2. Press and hold the thumb control as you cut, keeping the blade straight so thickness of slices is consistent.

Caution: NEVER place your hand on top of the blade to support it while operating the knife as the blades are designed to move back and forth.

1. Blade automatically stops when thumb control is released.

Using the Adjustable Slicing Guide

The adjustable slicing guide is to be used as an optional tool to ensure slices remain consistent and uniform. Use of the slicing guide is not required to operate the knife and can be stored in the provided storage/charging case until necessary.

Attaching/Adjusting the Slicing Guide

To attach the slicing guide to your knife, first ensure the Safety Interlock is in the locked position. Looking at the bottom of the unit, attach the blade guide by inserting and tightening the provided thumb screw once you have selected the desired thickness (markings are found on the underside of guide, see fig. A).

To adjust the slicing guide, loosen thumb screw and slide guide until the desired marking is lined up with the pin (see fig. B). Tighten thumb screw to ensure the guide is securely in place prior to use. During extended periods of use, check every so often to make sure thumb screw does not require re-tightening.
