4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Preparing Food for Slicing:

• For best results with meat, partially freeze it for 1 hour (approximately 3-4°C) before slicing. This helps maintain shape and ensures uniform thickness.
• For frozen meat, thaw for 20-30 minutes until the surface ice melts and it is pressable with fingers. Avoid slicing when too hard for uniform thickness.
• Ensure food items fit securely on the carriage tray and under the food pusher.

4.2 Slicing Procedure:

1. Place Food: Position the food item securely on the carriage tray, ensuring it is stable against the food pusher.
2. Adjust Thickness: Rotate the thickness adjustment knob to select your desired slice thickness (0-15mm). Turning right for thicker slices and left for thinner slices.

3. Activate Slicer: Unlock the security lock and press the power switch simultaneously to start the motor.
4. Slice Food: Gently press the food item against the blade using the food pusher and slide the carriage tray back and forth. Maintain steady pressure for uniform slices.
