Please read all the information in this instruction sheet before
using the Bagel Biter®.
Although the Bagel Biter® makes cutting bagels simple, safe and speedy,
we urge caution. THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP!
1)
Remove the handle portion of the Bagel Biter® from the base by
grasping the top of the handle with one hand and holding down the base
with the other hand. (See illustration #1).
2)
Place the bagel in the base. (See illustration #2).
3)
Position the handle portion of the Bagel Biter® directly over the base,
with the blade pointing downward. The handle will ”sleeve“ over the base.
Push straight down until the handle portion meets the base.
(See illustration #3).
4)
Holding the bottom of the base with one hand, lift the handle portion up.
(See illustration #4).
5)
Remove your perfectly sliced bagel from the base. If a bagel sticks in the
handle portion use a wooden or plastic utensil to push down on the bagel
from the top. (See illustration #5). NEVER REACH INTO THE HANDLE
PORTION FROM THE BOTTOM! THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP!
RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Never slice frozen or stale bagels as they will dull the blade. Slice bagels
BEFORE you freeze them and thaw frozen bagels before slicing them.
•
Clean blade often to prevent sticking and to prolong blade life.
•
Steamy, moist or “sticky” bagels may compress or squash during slicing;
allow steamy bagels to cool off. Popping a moist or sticky bagel into a
toaster oven for a few seconds will insure easiest slicing.
•
Flavored bagels (raisin, onion etc.) can leave a sticky residue on the
blade. Regular cleaning allows the Bagel Biter® to work at maximum
efficiency. Acid from some ingredients may stain, but occasional staining
or scratches will not affect performance.
•
Disassemble frequently to clean properly.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
To clean your bagel slicer by hand, use a bottle brush and warm soapy
water. Soaking in an appropriate cleaning solution overnight can aid
greatly in the ease of cleaning. DO NOT scour with metal pads, steel wool
or abrasive cleaners. NEVER REACH INTO THE HANDLE PORTION. THE
BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP!
The Commercial Bagel Biter® has been designed to be cleaned in
most commercial dishwashers. Due to the unpredictable
combinations of temperatures, cleaning agents and washers, we cannot
guarantee that it is compatible for washing under ALL commercial
scenarios. ANY CONTACT OF THE BLADE WITH ANYTHING HARDER
THAN A BAGEL CAN GREATLY DECREASE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY AND
EFFICIENCY OF THE BLADE. If you encounter any problems or have any
questions please call us at: 800.462.9237.
