4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective slicing.

1. Prepare Food: Ensure food items are properly chilled for best slicing results. For semi-frozen meats, allow them to thaw slightly to prevent damage to the blade.
2. Adjust Thickness: Use the thickness adjustment knob to select your desired slice thickness, ranging from 0.01 to 0.5 inches. Turn the knob clockwise for thinner slices and counter-clockwise for thicker slices.
3. Place Food: Carefully place the food item onto the food carriage. Use the stainless steel food pusher to secure the food against the back plate and the blade guard.
4. Power On: Press the green 'ON' button on the waterproof power switch to start the slicer.
5. Slice: While holding the food pusher firmly, gently push the food carriage back and forth across the rotating blade. Apply even pressure for uniform slices.
6. Power Off: Once slicing is complete, press the red 'OFF' button on the power switch. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing sliced food or cleaning.
