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.

  • 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.
