USING YOUR FOOD SLICER
CAUTION: BLADE IS SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.
NOTE: Before using your food slicer for the first time, disassemble and
wash. See “CARE AND CLEANING”.
1. Place slicer on a clean, dry smooth surface. Attach the food tray to the
food platform. Lip of food tray should fit into the platform groove
(figure 2).
2. Position slicer perpendicular to you on countertop so the switches are
to the back.
NOTE: Check “BLADE RELEASE SCREW” to make sure blade is
tightly in place. Food tray should slide smoothly in the platform groove.
3. Slide food pusher over the food tray. Pull food tray towards you and
open food pusher to allow room for food placement.
NOTE: Foods must be cut to fit against both the food pusher and the
thickness guide.
4. Turn the thickness regulator dial to larger number for thick slices and
smaller number for thin slices.
NOTE: Be sure meats are boneless before attempting to slice.
5. Plug into 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet.
6. Pull food tray towards you. Place food on food tray between food
pusher and thickness guide. Pull back on the “Safety Switch” and press
the “On/Off” switch to start the motor. For additional safety, the
motor stops when “On/Off” switch is released.
7. Hold food pusher with one hand, keeping thumb protected behind
food pusher.
8. With one hand controlling the “On/Off” switch, use your other hand
to slide the food pusher towards the blade. Move tray steadily back
and forth, pressing food gently with the food pusher against the
thickness guide for even slices.
9. When finished slicing, unplug the unit. Turn “THICKNESS REGULATOR
DIAL” to O to align blade for safety and blade protection.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: BLADE IS SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.
1. Unplug slicer from outlet.
2. Turn thickness regulator dial to O.
3. Remove the food pusher and food tray.
4. To clean the blade, use a coin or a screwdriver to unlock the blade release
screw by turning it clockwise (figure 3). Carefully remove the blade.
5. The blade, food pusher, and food tray can be washed in warm soapy
water, rinsed and dried.
NOTE: Blade should not be left to soak in soapy water. Trying to locate
blade under water is potentially dangerous. We suggest that you
wash, rinse and dry the blade immediately.
6. Wipe unit exterior with a soft cloth and soapy water. Rinse with a wet
cloth and dry.
