5. Operating Instructions
This section details how to safely and effectively operate your food slicer.

- Adjusting Thickness: Turn the built-in thickness gauge knob to select your desired slice thickness, from wafer-thin to approximately 15mm.
- Loading Food: Place the food item (e.g., meat, cheese, bread, vegetables) onto the bearing platform. Secure it against the food guide and use the food pusher to hold it firmly.
- Selecting Blade: The slicer comes with a 19cm stainless steel blade. For softer items like cheese and vegetables, the smooth blade is effective. For harder items such as bread crust, ham, and sausages, a serrated blade (if included or purchased separately) is recommended for optimal results.
- Power On: Press the power button to start the motor. The 500W motor will power the blade.
- Slicing: While the blade is rotating, gently push the food item using the food pusher towards the rotating blade. Move the sliding bar back and forth to slice. Maintain a steady, even pressure.
- Power Off: Once slicing is complete, press the power button to turn off the motor. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before handling.
- Unload Food: Carefully remove the sliced food and any remaining unsliced portions.

- Blade Removal: The 19cm stainless steel blade can be removed without tools. Carefully turn the central knob on the blade to unlock and remove it. Exercise extreme caution as the blade is very sharp.
- Washing: Wash the removable blade, food pusher, sliding bar, and food slider with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent rust. The blade can be rinsed directly under water.
- Body Cleaning: The main body of the slicer, made of stainless steel, can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not immerse the motor unit in water.
