Separate the blades by sliding the rivet from the one blade out of the keyhole slot of the other blade. Carefully wash the blades in warm soapy water. Blades may also be washed in an automatic dishwasher. Dry thoroughly and slide the plastic safety sheath over the blades. Wipe the power handle with a damp cloth. Never

immerse the power handle in water or any other liquid.

Helpful Hints

Carve on a wooden board, since metal or china may be scratched by any knife.

Before carving cooked meats, allow meats to stand for 15 minutes after removal from oven to set juices. This makes for easier and cleaner slicing.

Cutting through hard objects, such as bones or solidly frozen foods, is not recommended as blades may become damaged.

2.Rotate the blades slightly so they are parallel with the backbone and continue to cut along the backbone until knife is about 1/2 inch from the tail.

3.Turn over the sliced portion of the fish so the skin is against the cutting board. Use the electric knife to separate the fish flesh from the skin.

4.To remove the rib cage from the fish, apply downward pressure to the ribs with your fingers and slowly guide electric knife under the ribs to remove them. Use extreme caution when removing rib cage.

5.Repeat procedure for filleting other side of fish.
