To ensure safe operation of the ESTELLA 348SLA13, observe the following: Always use the product pusher and never push product into the blade with your hands. Do not operate the unit with loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair. Do not attempt to cut raw, frozen, or bone-in products. Always turn the unit off and unplug it before cleaning. Do not submerge or saturate the unit with water, and do not use a pressure washer.

Before using the ESTELLA 348SLA13 in automatic mode, follow these steps: First, ensure the carriage is locked. Second, press the blade ON switch, then the blade OFF switch to ensure both function properly. Third, check that the carriage functions correctly by pressing the switch ON, then OFF. Fourth, check that the slicer stops functioning by unscrewing the tie screw for the blade cover. Finally, turn the machine on, then unplug it from the socket and plug it back in to ensure it does not start up automatically.

Before loading, ensure the graduated hand grip is set to 0 and the motor is completely stopped. Position the adjustable product holder to leave sufficient space, then move the product pusher to the right. Load the product. Move the adjustable product holder up against the product and secure it in place using the tightening knob. Finally, position the product pusher on the product.

First, complete the product loading instructions. Lock the carriage by turning the lever counterclockwise. Stand in line with the machine at the non-blade end with your body straight up and down. Push the blade ON button, then push the carriage ON button. The carriage speed can be adjusted with the small knob near the control panel. When finished, press the OFF button and turn the thickness selection knob to 0.

Disconnect the plug and clean the blade with denatured alcohol. Lift the sharpener cap and turn it 180 degrees, then release it so it fits onto the locator pins. Ensure the blade is between the two grinders. Connect the plug and press the ON button. Press the rear button on the sharpener so the blade contacts the grinders. Let it rotate for 30 to 40 seconds to form a burr. Press both buttons simultaneously for 3 to 4 seconds to dress the edge. Clean the grinders and blade afterward.

Disconnect the plug from the power supply and turn the thickness selection knob to 0. Move the hopper assembly to the end of travel towards the controls. Partially unscrew the hopper lock knob, pull the assembly towards the operator, then completely unscrew the lock knob and lift the assembly to remove. Clean the hopper with warm water and a neutral detergent.

Disconnect the plug. Unscrew the hand grip from the blade cover tie rod and pull the blade cover plate with even pressure to expose the blade. Wear metal cut-resistant gloves. The blade can be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral cleaner. To remove the blade for deeper cleaning, remove the sharpening device, remove the four screws in the center of the blade, and use the jig to carefully lift the blade from the machine.
