ESTELLA 348SLM13 (01) PDF Document

The ESTELLA 348SLM13 is designed for cutting vegetables and fresh, seasoned, cooked, and cured meats that are boneless and non-frozen. Do not attempt to cut any product that is raw, frozen, or has a bone. The product temperature can be up to a maximum of 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius).

Before loading product, ensure the graduated hand grip is set to 0 and the motor is completely stopped. Be very careful around the blade when loading.

Step 1. Position the adjustable product holder so as to leave sufficient space for loading the product.

Step 2. Move the product pusher to the right to leave sufficient space for loading the product.

Step 3. Load the product.

Step 4. Move the adjustable product holder up against the product and secure it in place using the tightening knob. This prevents the product from moving when being sliced.

Step 5. Position the product pusher on the product.

Step 6. Use the thickness selection knob to set your desired slicing thickness.

Step 7. You are now ready to slice.

Step 1. Complete the product loading instructions.

Step 2. Unlock the carriage by turning the lever clockwise.

Step 3. Assume a proper position before operating the machine. Stand in line with the machine with your body placed at the non-blade end. The product pusher should be in front of your right hand and the controls or product output easily accessible by your left hand. Keep your body straight up and down. Do not lean towards or above the machine while it is operating.

Step 4. Grip the product pusher with your right hand and position your left hand near the slice guard to retrieve the slices. Do not touch the blade.

Step 5. Push the blade ON button.

Step 6. Apply gentle and even pressure to push the hopper assembly towards the blade.

Step 7. Once sliced, the product will exit the slice guard to the left.

Step 8. When finished slicing the product, stop the slicer by pressing the OFF button and turn the thickness selection knob to 0.

Step 9. After slicing, remove any remaining product from the hopper and store properly.

Step 1. Disconnect the plug from the socket and carefully clean the blade with denatured alcohol to remove any grease build-up.

Step 2. Lift the sharpener cap and turn it 180 degrees.

Step 3. Release the cap so that it fits onto the locator pins.

Step 4. Check that the blade is in between the two grinders.

Step 5. Connect the plug and press the ON button to start up the slicer.

Step 6. Press the rear button on the sharpener. The blade should come into contact with the two grinders.

Step 7. Allow the blade to rotate between the grinders for 30 to 40 seconds so a slight burr forms on the blade edge.

Step 8. Press both buttons simultaneously and hold for 3 to 4 seconds, then release to dress the blade edge.

Step 9. After sharpening, it is recommended to clean the grinders and blade.

Step 10. Once sharpening is complete, replace the sharpening device in its original position by reversing step 2.

Step 1. Disconnect the plug from the main power supply.

Step 2. Turn the thickness selection knob to 0.

Step 3. Move the hopper assembly to the end of travel towards the controls.

Step 4. Partially unscrew the hopper lock knob.

Step 5. Pull the assembly towards the operator.

Step 6. Completely unscrew the hopper lock knob, then lift the assembly to remove.

Step 7. Clean the hopper with warm water and a neutral detergent.

A pair of metal cut-resistant gloves must be worn when cleaning the blade.

Step 1. Disconnect the plug from the main power supply.

Step 2. Unscrew the hand grip from the blade cover tie rod.

Step 3. Pull the blade cover plate with even pressure from the top and bottom to expose the blade.

Step 4. The blade can now be cleaned with a damp cloth and neutral cleaner.

Step 5. Remove the sharpening device.

Step 6. Remove the four screws in the center of the blade.

Step 7. Position the jig on the blade so that the split in the jig fits in the ring. Match up the two alignment holes on the blade with the two knobs on the jig. Adjust the thickness selection knob until the jig adheres to the blade. Hand tighten the two jig knobs until the blade can be easily lifted from the machine.

Step 8. Clean all surfaces thoroughly with a neutral cleaner. Allow to completely dry before reassembly.

Step 9. Reassemble by reversing steps.
