4. Slice Food: Gently push the food carriage towards the rotating blade. Apply even pressure for consistent slices.

6. Deactivate Slicer: Release the safety switch for momentary operation, or disengage the continuous lock for continuous operation.
7. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet after use.

Tips for Best Results:

• For soft bread, allow it to cool completely before slicing.
• For very soft cheeses, chilling them slightly before slicing can improve results.
• Always use the food holder to protect your fingers.
