Any other use or modification to the equipment shall be considered as improper use and could cause considerable danger.

SETTING UP THE SLICER

Before and after use, wash all parts with warm soapy water. Cutting knives are sharp! Use care when using the product and when cleaning the product to prevent injury.

Never place the slicer on a hot surface or near an open flame.

Make sure that the power cord does not pass over hot or sharp edged objects.

Do not allow the power cord to become kinked or trapped and do not wind it around the slicer.

Take the slicer carefully out of its packaging. Remove all the packaging material and keep it together with the packaging. Clean the slicer before it comes into contact with any food.

Place the slicer on a flat, non-slip surface close to an electrical socket.

Unwind the length of power cord. Insert the plug into the electrical socket. Push the piece holder onto the sliding feed table.

SLICING

Never touch the blade when the slicer is operating! Use the slicer only for slicing normal household foods and not for other purposes. Do not use the slicer for slicing deep-frozen foods, bones, foods with large kernels or for slicing packaged foods. Never use the slicer for more than 10 minutes at a time.

REMOVING THE CUTTING BLADE

Use a screwdriver to remove the three small screws around the center of the blade. When removing the blade, be sure to handle it by the center and avoid the outer sharp edge. Wash the blade by hand in warm water with dishwashing liquid (do not place in the dish washer). Clean the housing behind the blade with a dry cloth or a soft brush.

RUNNING THE SLICER

The cutting blade continues to rotate after the slicer has been switched off. Use caution when operating the slicer and/or removing the blade. For safety, the slice thickness should be returned to the “0” setting after each use.

Pushing the switch to “ON” will allow the cutting blade to run. Move the switch quickly into the “OFF” position and wait until the cutting blade comes to a complete standstill before attempting to move the slicer or removing the material being sliced.

SETTING THE SLICE THICKNESS

The slice thickness can be set to between 0 and approx. 0.60″. Set the required slice thickness using the knob (6). The settings on the scale do not correspond with the slice thickness.

Place the food to be sliced on to the sliding feed table. Press the food to be sliced with the holder lightly against the food plate. Switch the device on. While lightly pressing the food to be sliced forward, using only the food holder, NOT your fingers, guide it along the cutting blade. After using the slicer always set the food support plate into the neutral setting (by sliding the food support plate to the right) so that the sharp blade is covered. To safeguard your fingers always use the sliding feed table and the piece holder.

Before using, wash all parts with warm soapy water. Blade is sharp! Use care when handling the product and when cleaning the product to prevent injury. Do not immerse the slicer in water.

Before starting to clean the slicer, switch it off, pull the plug out of the electrical socket and set the food support plate into the neutral setting. It is necessary to clean the slicer at regular intervals as perishable food scraps could accumulate on the slicer or behind the cutting blade. Remove the piece holder and clean it in warm water and dishwashing liquid (do not place in the dishwasher).

Wipe the housing and sliding food table using a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or hard brushes. Rinse all removable parts with clear hot water and allow them to dry before placing back on the slicer. Wipe slicer unit clean with a damp cloth.
