Setup

Before first use, and before each use, ensure the slicer is properly set up.

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the slicer for any damage.
  2. Clean: Wash all removable parts (blade, food carriage, food pusher) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.
  3. Place: Position the slicer on a clean, dry, stable, and flat surface. Ensure the non-slip feet are firmly gripping the countertop.
  4. Install Blade: Ensure the thickness adjustment knob is set to '0'. Carefully align the desired blade (serrated or non-serrated) with the motor shaft and secure it according to the instructions in the blade installation section (refer to the diagram on the blade itself for locking mechanism).
  5. Attach Food Carriage and Pusher: Slide the food carriage onto its rails until it clicks into place. Attach the food pusher to the food carriage.
  6. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective slicing.

  1. Prepare Food: For best results, chill meats and cheeses before slicing. This helps maintain their shape and allows for more even slices. For very soft items like bread, a serrated blade is recommended.
  2. Adjust Thickness: Turn the thickness adjustment knob to select your desired slice thickness, ranging from 1mm (ultra-thin) to 20mm (approx. 3/4 inch).

  3. Position Food: Place the food item firmly on the food carriage, ensuring it is securely held by the food pusher.
  4. Turn On: Press the On/Off switch to start the slicer. The blade will begin to rotate.
  5. Slice: Gently push the food carriage forward and backward, guiding the food against the rotating blade using the food pusher. Apply even, steady pressure.

  6. Collect Slices: Sliced food will fall onto the tray or surface below the blade.
  7. Turn Off: Once slicing is complete, turn the slicer off using the On/Off switch. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before handling.
  8. Reset Thickness: Always return the thickness adjustment knob to '0' after use for safety and storage.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your slicer.

  1. Unplug: Always unplug the slicer from the power outlet before cleaning.
  2. Set Thickness to '0': Ensure the thickness adjustment knob is set to '0' (fully closed).

  4. Wash Removable Parts: Wash the blade, food carriage, and food pusher with warm, soapy water. Use a brush for the blade to safely remove food particles. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. These parts are indicated as "Dishwasher Safe" in specifications, but hand washing is often recommended for longevity.
  5. Clean Main Unit: Wipe the main unit, especially the area behind the blade, with a damp cloth. Use a small brush to remove any food debris from crevices. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
  6. Reassemble: Once all parts are dry, reassemble the slicer.
  7. Storage: Store the slicer in a clean, dry place.
