Before using your commercial-grade meat slicer for the first time, wash all parts thoroughly, taking particular care to remove all grease and oil from surface. Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling. (REFER TO CLEANING & MAINTENANCE SECTION OF MANUAL).

1. Place the Meat Slicer on a flat, stable surface.

2. Plug the appliance into a properly rated electrical outlet (120V AC, 60HZ). NOTE: Be sure to remove protective blade guards from the edge of the Blade (Part #8) before plugging slicer into outlet. These are used for shipping only.

3. Place food onto the Sliding Food Carriage (Part #5) between the Adjustment Plate (#3) and the Food Pusher (#12). To avoid injury, ALWAYS use the Food Pusher Handle (#11) to slice meat. (Refer to Fig. 1)

4. Turn the Thickness Adjustment Knob (Part #2) to set the Adjustment Plate (Part #3) for the desired cutting thickness. Turn clockwise for thinner cuts, counter-clockwise for thicker slicing. (Refer to Fig. 1)

5. To turn the meat slicer ON, push the Green “I” button. (Refer to Fig. 2)

6. To turn the meat slicer OFF, push the Red “O” button. (Refer to Fig. 2)

7. When operating slicer, stand to the side of the slicer opposite the blade.

8. Place a tray or plate behind the Meat Slicer and below the Blade (Part #8) to collect the sliced food as it exits the blade area.

9. Hold the Food Pusher Handle (Part #11) with your right hand. Keep your hands protected behind the Food Pusher #5.

10. NEVER USE THIS SLICER WITHOUT THE FOOD PUSHER.

11. Using an even, steady motion, SLOWLY begin slicing. Apply light steady pressure with the Food Pusher Handle (Part #11) to move food toward the Adjustment Plate (#3) while SLOWLY sliding Food Carriage (#5) over the Blade (#8). This will help ensure even slicing. Continue sliding SLOWLY, back and forth, until you have sliced the desired amount of meat.

NOTE: The meat slicer only makes slices when moving the Food Carriage forward.

12. When finished, turn the meat slicer “OFF” (0) by pushing the Red button. (Refer to Fig. 2)

13. Always unplug meat slicer from power source when the Meat Slicer is not in use.

14. For safety, always rotate the Thickness Adjustment Knob (Part #2) all the way to the “O” position after use to properly shield the sharp edge of Blade (#8).

This Meat Slicer is not meant to cut through bones! Cutting through bones will cause severe damage to Meat Slicer and void the warranty!

Always debone meat before slicing

Fruits (peaches, apples, avocadoes etc.) should be free of seeds. The exception is tomatoes.

DO NOT slice fully frozen foods.

If you have too large of a cut of meat (such as roast or slab bacon), you may need to hand-cut the meat into smaller, more manageable pieces to slice.

Food with an uneven texture, like fish and thin steaks, are often difficult to slice. Put in freezer for approximately 20 minutes to partially freeze before attempting to slice.

Cold cuts keep longer and retain flavor if sliced as needed. For best results, chill to approximately: 40°-48°. Remove any plastic or hard casings before slicing. Use a constant, gentle pressure for even slicing.

Cheese can be difficult to slice (especially soft cheeses). A tiny amount of Mineral Oil can be lightly applied to blade with a paper towel, to keep the cheese from sticking during slicing. Caution: The blade is sharp. Do not touch the blade directly. We highly recommend wearing cut-resistant gloves when applying. Chill cheese thoroughly to approx. 40° – 48° before slicing. Before serving, allow cheese to reach room temperature.

IMPORTANT: If cheese is (sticking to) binding on the blade when slicing:

A) Re-chill cheese so it is colder (not frozen).

B) Use less tension on the Food Pusher Handle (Part #11) against the blade.

C) Use SLOWER slicing strokes.

Freshly baked bread should be cooled to room temperature before serving. Use day-old bread for extra thin slices for toast. Your slicer is ideal for all types of breads, pound cake or fruit cake. Chill breads or cakes to approx. 40° – 48° for easier slicing and to avoid tearing or crumbling.

When slicing warm boneless roasts, remove from oven and let it set for 20-30 minutes (room temp) before slicing. They will retain more natural juices and slice evenly without crumbling. If necessary, hand-cut the meats to fit on the carriage.

Before cleaning, assembling or disassembling the MEAT SLICER, make sure the power is OFF and the plug is REMOVED from the outlet/power source!

Use Extreme Caution when handling or cleaning the blade, as it is extremely sharp! We highly recommend wearing cut-resistant gloves when removing, cleaning and re-installing the blade.

1. The slicer should be cleaned after every use as perishable food scraps could accumulate on the slicer or behind cutting Blade (Part #8).

2. Do not use steel wool or abrasives to clean any part of Meat Slicer.

3. Rotate the Thickness Adjustment Knob (Part #2) all the way to the “O” position.

4. To remove the Sliding Food Carriage (Part #5) and Food Pusher Arm (#12), unscrew the Carriage Knob (#4) underneath the Sliding Food Carriage (#5) counterclockwise and lift the food tray in a slight upward and out motion.

5. With one hand flat on Blade Guard (Part #9), turn the black Blade Guard Knob (#14, located on the back of the slicer behind blade) counterclockwise until the Blade Guard (#9) is released. (Refer to Fig. 3)

6. Remove the three Phillips head screws that hold Blade (Part #8). (Refer to Fig. 3) The Blade is now released from shaft and can be removed by gently pulling outward. USE EXTREME CAUTION: We highly recommend wearing cut-resistant gloves when removing, cleaning and re-installing the blade.

1. Clean the blade with a moist sponge or cloth. Wipe away from the Blade (Part #8). NEVER wipe toward the Blade.

2. NEVER clean the Blade (Part #8) underwater. Handling sharp objects under water is extremely dangerous.

Soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm water. Carefully wash and rinse the top and bottom (underside) of the blade by wiping from the center of the blade outward.

The Blade (Part #8) Blade Guard (#9), Food Pusher (#12) and Food Carriage (#5) can all be hand washed in hot soapy water. Because these parts come in contact with food, they should be sanitized properly. Allow sanitized parts to air dry.

4. Never immerse the Motor Assembly of the Meat Slicer in water or other liquid.

5. Clean the outer surface of the Meat Slicer Body/Motor with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT WASH ANY PART OF THIS SLICER IN A DISHWASHER.

USE EXTREME CAUTION: We highly recommend wearing cut-resistant gloves when removing, cleaning and re-installing the blade.

1. Be sure the Thickness Adjustment Knob (Part #2) is all the way to the “O” position.

2. Screw the Blade (Part #8) back into place.

3. Line up Blade Guard (Part #9) over the blade hole. Hold in place so the lines of the Blade Guard face, match the lines of Adjustment Plate (Part #3) (horizontal). While holding the Blade Guard in place, turn the Blade Guard Knob (Part #14) clockwise until the Blade Guard screws into place. As the Blade Guard Knob tightens, the Blade Guard will become nearly flush with blade.

Make sure Blade is securely tightened and locked.

1. Rotate the Thickness Adjustment Knob (Part #2) all the way to the “O” position.

2. ALWAYS align Adjustment Plate (Part #3) with Blade (#8) to protect the Blade when the slicer is stored.

3. Store in a dry, warm area with low humidity.

1. The carriage should slide freely along the carriage rod when slicing.

2. Should these parts not slide smoothly, adjustments can be made.

3. At the bottom of the carriage support, you will find a plastic screw. Turn the screw clockwise to tighten carriage (Below: A). This will help stabilize the carriage. Turn the screw counterclockwise to loosen carriage (Below: B). This will help the carriage slide more easily.

1. This operation should be undertaken if the cutting blade becomes dul. It should be noted that the blade is made fromhardened material and under normal use should only need sharpening once a year.

2. Unplug the unit.

3. Ensure that the slice thickness knob is in the ‘o’ position.

4. CAREFULLY clean the part of the blade to be sharpened.

5. Unlock the sharpening device using the safety locking screw. Lift up the sharpening assembly and rotate it 180° so that both grinding wheels are in the correct position. Lower the sharpening device and lock in position.

6. Plug in the machine and switch on.

7. Using the button at the rear of the sharpening unit, push the stone against the rotating blade for approximately 30seconds

8. After sharpening, it is important to remove the grinding wheel from the blade by leting go of the push button on the front of the sharpening device. Run the slicer for 2-3 seconds after letting go of this button.

9. Return the sharpening device to its original position by unlocking the safety screw and rotating by 180°
