5. Operating Instructions

This slicer is designed for slicing various foods such as meat, cheese, bread, and vegetables. For best results with frozen meat, it is recommended to thaw for approximately 15 minutes before slicing.

1. Prepare Food: Ensure food items are appropriately sized to fit on the food carriage. For frozen items, partial thawing is recommended.
2. Adjust Slice Thickness: Use the thickness adjustment knob to select your desired slice thickness, ranging from 0 to 15mm (0 to 0.6 inches). Turn the knob clockwise for thicker slices and counter-clockwise for thinner slices.
3. Place Food: Position the food item firmly on the food carriage against the food guide plate. Secure it with the food pusher.
4. Power On: Plug the slicer into a suitable power outlet. Press the power switch to turn on the appliance. The blade will begin rotating at 80-120 RPM.
5. Slice Food: Gently push the food carriage back and forth, guiding the food towards the rotating blade using the food pusher. Maintain steady pressure for uniform slices.
6. Collect Slices: Sliced food will fall onto the collection tray (not included) or directly onto your work surface.
7. Power Off: Once slicing is complete, turn off the power switch and unplug the appliance.
