Safety Information

WARNING: Always exercise extreme caution when operating any electric appliance, especially those with sharp blades.

• Read all instructions before use.
• Keep hands clear of the blade at all times. Use the food pusher to guide food.
• Ensure the slicer is placed on a stable, non-slip surface before operation.
• Unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
• Do not operate the slicer with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
• This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all components are present: main unit, food carriage, food pusher, and blade.
2. Placement: Place the slicer on a clean, dry, and stable countertop. Ensure the non-slip feet are securely gripping the surface.
3. Assemble Food Carriage: Attach the food carriage to the main unit by sliding it onto the guide bar. Ensure it moves smoothly.
4. Install Food Pusher: Place the food pusher onto the food carriage. This piece is essential for safe operation.
5. Check Blade: Verify that the serrated stainless-steel blade is securely installed. If not, align the center of the blade with the drive shaft and twist to lock it into place.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective slicing:

1. Prepare Food: Ensure food items are properly chilled for best slicing results. Trim any bones or hard rinds.
2. Adjust Thickness: Locate the adjustable thickness dial on the back of the unit. Rotate the dial to your desired slice thickness. Settings range from very thin (for deli meats) to extra thick (for bread or thicker cuts).

3. Load Food: Place the food item onto the food carriage, ensuring it is pressed firmly against the food pusher.
4. Power On: Plug the slicer into a 120V electrical outlet. Flip the red on/off switch located on the side of the unit to the "ON" position. The blade will begin to rotate.
5. Slice: Using the food pusher, gently push the food carriage forward and backward against the rotating blade. Apply even pressure for consistent slices. Collect sliced food from the receiving tray.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your deli slicer. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

1. Blade Removal: Carefully twist the center knob on the blade counter-clockwise and pull the blade directly off the drive shaft. Handle the blade with extreme care as it is very sharp.
2. Clean Blade: Wash the blade with warm, soapy water. Use a brush for serrated edges if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent rust.
3. Clean Food Carriage & Pusher: These components are typically removable and can be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
4. Clean Main Unit: Wipe down the die-cast aluminum housing and the area behind the blade with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
5. Reassemble: Once all parts are dry, reassemble the slicer by reversing the removal steps. Ensure the blade is securely locked in place.
6. Storage: Store the slicer in a clean, dry place. Its compact design allows for easy storage in most cabinets.
