Slicing Different Ingredients

This versatile slicer is suitable for various food types. For optimal results, consider the following:

• Meat: Ideal for deli meats, roasts, and even partially frozen meat.
• Cheese: Hard cheeses slice best.
• Bread: Perfect for uniform slices of hard bread.
• Fruits & Vegetables: Can slice various fruits and vegetables for salads or platters.

Meat Slicing Tips

For best results when slicing meat, especially for very thin slices, it is recommended to slightly firm the meat by placing it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before slicing. This helps maintain its shape and allows for cleaner cuts.

Blade Selection

Your VEVOR Meat Slicer comes with two premium SUS420 stainless steel blades:

• Serrated Blade: Ideal for slicing bread and meat.
• Non-serrated Blade: Best for fruits, vegetables, and hard cheese.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning is crucial for hygiene and to prolong the life of your slicer. The detachable design makes cleaning easy.

1. Unplug: Always unplug the slicer before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: The blade, food rack, and food pusher are easily detachable. Carefully remove them.
3. Hand Wash: All food-contact parts, including the blades, food rack, and food pusher, should be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent rust.
4. Wipe Down: Wipe the main unit (motor housing) with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in water.
5. Reassemble: Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble them. Ensure the blade is securely fastened.
