ways be followed, including the following:

ing blades.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or in the event the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto
Factory Service Department or to the nearest Presto Autho-
rized Service facility for examination, repair or electrical or

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.
Before initial use, and after each subsequent use, wash the knife blades
in warm sudsy water and dry thoroughly or wash in an automatic
dishwasher. Wipe the power handle with a damp cloth to clean. Never
immerse the power handle in water or any other liquid. Blades are sharp;
handle carefully.
How To Use
Always handle blades by the plas-
tic guards, by the blunt edge of
the knife or with the plastic safety
sheath when inserting or remov-
ing them from the power handle
and during cleaning (Fig. A). The
blades are extremely sharp. Keep
fingers away from the cutting edge.
1.Assemble blades. Hold blades by the flat ends behind the
plastic guards and slide the rivet on one blade into the keyhole
slot on the other blade (Fig. B).
2.Insert blades into power handle. Be sure the knife is un-
plugged. Hold the blades by the plastic guards and insert them
into the power handle with the serrated edge facing the under-
side of the power handle. Slide the blades into the power handle
as far as they will go. Push slightly on each plastic guard
towards the power handle, to insure both blades are fully
engaged with the power handle. You will hear a click as each
blade is engaged with the power handle. Note: Blade tips may
not be even.
3.Plug cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. Be sure to remove the
plastic safety sheath. Press the ON-OFF switch and simply
guide the blades through the food. It is not necessary to use a
sawing motion. To stop the blades, release the ON-OFF button.
Note: Your Presto
electric knife is designed to cut through
thick bread crusts, cheese, sausage and other meats and fish
with ease. If however, the knife is held incorrectly and one or
both of the blade release buttons is accidentally pushed during
operation, the blades will disengage. As a result, the knife may
stall or will not cut properly. Be sure to position your hand
behind the blade release buttons during operation.
Care and Cleaning
Be sure the knife is unplugged. To remove the blades, press the
blade release buttons on both sides of the power handle, hold onto
the plastic guards and pull the blades away from the power
handle.
