Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances. This appliance is for household use only.

• Always ensure the appliance is unplugged before assembly, disassembly, or cleaning.
• Keep hands clear of the blade during operation. The blade is extremely sharp.
• Do not immerse the motor unit in water or other liquids. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Ensure the child lock protection is engaged when not in use and during operation to prevent accidental activation.
• Use the food pusher to guide food. Never use your hands directly to push food towards the blade.
• Place the slicer on a stable, flat, and dry surface. The non-slip suction cup feet help maintain stability.
• Do not attempt to slice frozen foods or foods with bones, as this can damage the blade and motor.
• Supervise children closely if they are near the appliance.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Clean: Before first use, wash all removable parts (blade, food carriage, food pusher, tray) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.
3. Assemble Blade: Ensure the slicer is unplugged. Align the desired blade (smooth or serrated) onto the motor shaft and secure it by turning the central knob clockwise until it clicks into place.
4. Attach Food Carriage: Slide the food carriage onto the slide-rod extension until it is securely in place.
5. Position Food Pusher: Place the food pusher onto the food carriage.
6. Placement: Position the slicer on a clean, dry, and stable countertop. Press down firmly on the top of the unit to engage the suction cup feet for maximum stability.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Food: For best results, slightly chill meats before slicing. This helps maintain shape and allows for more uniform slices.
2. Adjust Thickness: Turn the adjustable thickness knob to select your desired slice thickness, ranging from 0mm (paper-thin) to 15mm.
3. Place Food: Place the food item onto the food carriage, ensuring it is firmly pressed against the food guide plate. Use the food pusher to secure the food.
4. Power On: Plug the slicer into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the safety lock and the On/Off button simultaneously to start the motor.
5. Slice: While the blade is rotating, gently push the food carriage forward and backward, guiding the food through the blade. The sliced food will fall onto the stainless steel tray.
6. Power Off: Once slicing is complete, release the On/Off button and unplug the appliance.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your slicer.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the slicer from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Remove Components: Carefully remove the blade by turning the central knob counter-clockwise. Detach the food carriage, slide-rod extension, and food pusher.
3. Hand Wash: Hand wash the blade, food carriage, slide-rod extension, food pusher, and stainless steel tray with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent rust. The blade is very sharp; handle with extreme care.
4. Wipe Main Unit: Wipe the metal cover and base of the slicer with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the main unit in water.
5. Reassemble: Once all parts are dry, reassemble the slicer.
6. Storage: Store the slicer in a clean, dry place.
