The blade of this appliance is extremely sharp, always be very careful when cleaning the appliance. It is absolutely necessary to keep this appliance clean at all times as it comes into direct contact with food.

Please refer to the rating label for the maximum continuous usage time (KB xx min where xx is the maximum usage time). The breaks should last at least 10 minutes.13

USE Caution: make sure that the appliance is unplugged when attaching the blades. Hold on to the blades with the thumb and forefinger in such a way that the cutting edges face downwards (cf. Fig. 1); then press the back-ends of the blades into the opening provided for that purpose until they lock into place (cf. Fig. 2). Plug in your appliance and press the on/off switch (cf. Fig. 3). Now the appliance is ready for use. Do not use a cutting motion, simply hold the knife gently in place; it will do the cutting automatically. Cutting takes place smoothly and without effort. With your electric knife you can cut as needed either vertically or on a slant. Caution: If you want to cut frozen food, use exclusively the blade provided for that purpose (to recognize it, you only have to compare the size of the teeth because the teeth of the special blade are larger than those of the classic one). Do not use your knife for cutting bones. It is not meant for this purpose. When you have finished using your electric knife, release the button and pull out the plug. Then press the eject button. The blades can now be easily removed (cf. Fig. 4). CLEANING The blades are made of stainless steel and can therefore be cleaned easily. We advise you to use warm soapy water. If you want to clean the individual blades, do so by pushing the blades along the groove upwards until they can be removed from the holding pin (cf. Fig. 5). To mount, reverse the process. The blades need no special maintenance. Sharpening is not necessary as the blades are self-sharpening due to the permanent friction of the blades during use. After cleaning, place the blades in the protective covering and store away. In order to clean the appliance itself use a damp cloth and dry afterwards. Never hold it under running water nor immerse it in water or any other liquid.
