SLICING TIPS
• If slicing freshly baked bread, be sure to
let cool at least 15 to 30 minutes,
otherwise bread will tear when attempting
to slice.
• Bread machine or traditional shaped
loaves of bread can be sliced in guide.
Place bread machine bread on one of its
sides for slicing; place bottom of
traditional shaped loaf on platform for
slicing.
• A loaf up to 23cm long can be sliced in
the guide. the slices will be about 5mm
thick. For thicker slices, cut bread using
every other guide slot.
• Be sure to completely cut through
bottom crust of bread as you slice.
• Some of the plastic material on the
platform of the guide will become
scratched from the cutting knife used
which is normal. Any small pieces of
plastic that may come in contact with the
bread are not harmful as plastic is a food
grade material.
• Always use caution when handling knife
during slicing of bread.
CLEAN AFTER USE
To remove crumbs, simply brush off with a
dry cloth or tap guide over waste basket.
Crumbs are easier to remove when they are
dry rather than being wet. Wipe slicing guide
with a damp cloth if needed.
Do not clean bread slicing
guide in an automatic
dishwasher as damage can
occur.
For compact storage of guide between
uses, close down sides by pressing ends
where indicated and swing in direction as
shown on guide. See diagram below. Store
guide in drawer or cabinet.

CLEAN BEFORE USE
Wipe bread slicing guide with a damp cloth
and dry. Do not clean bread slicing guide in
an automatic dishwasher as damage can
occur.
TO USE BREAD SLICING GUIDE
1. Place bread slicing guide on counter with
sides in upright position as shown. Guide
features rubber feet on bottom to secure
on surface while slicing.
2. Place loaf onto cutting platform, position
one end against closed end of guide. See
pic. This will ensure more even slicing.
Either a whole or partial loaf of bread can
be sliced.
3. With a good bread knife or electric knife,
align knife blade in guide slots above
bread. Slice bread with a back and forth
sawing motion. You may need to secure
top side of loaf while slicing. Remove
blade from guide when finished slicing
and repeat same motion until desired
number of slices have been cut.
