2. Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances. Read all instructions before using the slicer.

• Child Lock Protection: The slicer is equipped with a safety lock. To operate, you must press both the safety lock and power button simultaneously. This prevents accidental activation, especially by children.
• Sharp Blade: The 7.5-inch stainless steel blade is extremely sharp. Always handle with extreme care. Never touch the blade directly.
• Stable Placement: Ensure the slicer is placed on a stable, flat, and dry surface. The non-slip suction cup feet provide stability during operation.
• Electrical Safety: Do not immerse the motor base in water or any other liquid. Unplug the slicer from the outlet when not in use, before cleaning, or when attaching/removing parts.
• Food Pusher: Always use the food pusher to guide food towards the blade. Never use your hands directly to push food.
• Supervision: Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
