USE AND CARE
Assembling the Butcher Block:
1. Push base toward the underside of butcher
block and insert the tab on the bottom of the
base into the slot on the edge of the block.
2. Stand unit on counter for easy access.
3. Reverse steps 1 and 2 for in-cabinet storage.
Note: Do not use Butcher Block as a
cutting board.
Assembling the Blades:
1. Lift and turn blade lock to a vertical position
to remove blades from base. Remove protec-
tive sleeves. Before first use, separate the
blades and wash them in hot, soapy water or
the dishwasher.
CAUTION: BLADES
ARE SHARP. HANDLE WITH CARE.
Dry thoroughly. (See Cleaning Instructions
on page 4.)
2. Attach the blades by inserting the rivet
on one blade into the keyhole of the
other blade.
Using your Cuisinart
®
Electric Knife:
1. The knife should be unplugged when
fitting the blades. The blades must be
assembled before fitting into knife. The
safety button should be in the locked
position. Achieve this by pushing the small
tab on the side of the trigger button.
(While looking at the underside of handle,
push the tab on the left side to unlock.)
While 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.
2. Plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Unlock the safety button.
4. Squeeze and hold the trigger button with
your fingers as you cut. Blades should stay
parallel to the cutting surface.
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.
5. Blade automatically stops when trigger
is released.
