Tips for best cutting results
• Always place food to be sliced on a wooden or plastic cutting board. Do not slice
food on china, metal or bench tops, as scratching may occurs.
• Use the multifunctional blade for cutting meat and bread and the wavy blade
for cutting vegetable, fruit, cakes and alike.
• Guide blades through food. A sawing action is not necessary. So not force blades
through food.
• To maintain the sharpness of blades, do not cut through bones, fruit pips or stones or
any other hard substances.
• For best results when carving meat and poultry allow cooked meat to stand for
10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to set and makes carving easier and
neater.
• Before carving meat or chicken, remove skewers. If desired, string may be left around
the meat whilst carving. The use of carving fork to steady the meat assists in carving
straight, even slices.
• Do not attempt to sharpen blades.
