ASSEMBLY AND USE OF YOUR MELLER-
WARE BILTONG SLICER
CAUTION IN ASSEMBLY & USE OF YOUR
BILTONG SLICER: Keep any sharp edge tools
away from children! Using a knife is an inher-
ently dangerous activity. Therefore, please only
choose well
designed, high quality products for any of your
cutting chores, and exercise due care in their
use.
1. A compact Spanner is stored within a cav-
ity at the rear of the raised wooden block.
Remove the spanner.
2. Attach the blade to the bolt extending from
the raised wooden block. Position a white
nylon washer on either side of the blade and
then tighten the Nylon fastening nut using
the spanner provided. Re-position the span-
ner within it’s storage cavity and your biltong
slicer is ready to use.
3. In cutting biltong or any other wide range of
food products, the upright rear block can be
used as a guide. Press the biltong (or other
product) against the guide and push towards
the blade as you slice, while carefully ensur-
ing fingers are kept well clear of the cutting
edge.
4. The knife can be detached for indepen-
dent use and cleaning if required, and the
wooden board can be used with or without
the attached knife.
USE OF YOUR TUNGSTEN-CARBIDE
SHARPENER:
1. Ensure that the sharpener is placed on a
stable base when using, and hold the slic-
ing knife handle with the left hand to keep
a steady grip on the unit. This keeps the
sharpener steady and your left hand well
clear of the blade being sharpened.
2. With your right hand, hold the knife in a verti-
cal position (at 90 degrees to floor or table-
top) and using slight downward pressure run
the blade from it’s heel to the tip through the
slot.
3. Repeat this action 3 or 4 times, or more if
necessary until sharp.
4. After sharpening, clean the knife blade and
dry well before storing.
CAUTION IN USE OF YOUR TUNGSTEN-
CARBIDE SHARPENER:
1. Do not use the Tungsten Carbide sharpener
to sharpen serrated knives or scissors.
2. Do not use a backwards and forwards mo-
tion, sharpen in one direction only.
3. Use only light pressure - do not apply ex-
treme force.
4. Do not put the sharpener or wooden block in
a dishwasher or submerge.
