3. Main Unit: Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water.
4. Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
5. Blade Care: For optimal slicing and to prevent food from sticking, apply a thin layer of food-grade oil (e.g., olive oil) to the blade before use, especially when slicing moist or sticky foods.

8. Troubleshooting

• Slicer does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the ON/OFF switch is correctly engaged and the child safety lock is disengaged.
• Food sticks to the blade: This can occur with moist or sticky foods. Apply a thin layer of food-grade oil (e.g., olive oil) to the blade before slicing.
• Slicer moves during operation: Ensure the slicer is placed on a clean, dry, and smooth surface. Press down firmly to engage the suction feet for maximum stability.
• Uneven slices: Ensure the food item is firmly pressed against the food carriage and the thickness adjustment knob is securely set. Apply consistent pressure with the food pusher.
