CAUTION: Do not
use the slicer to
slice deep frozen food, bones, or you
may overload the slicer and damage
the blade. It may lead to personal
injury.
WARNING: Do not
use the slicer the
slice jelly-like or wet food. The jelly or
excessive juice may spread into the
electrical components of the motor
assembly. For juicer meats, allow
them to chill and then slice. Failure to
do so may lead to fire and electric
shock, personal injury or death.

Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
1.
Always
unplug the appliance and let
blade come to a
full stop
before
cleaning. Allow blade to cool before
removing.
2. Adjust thickness adjustment knob to
setting “—” before cleaning.
3. Once the blade has cooled, remove
the blade by inserting a coin in the
blade-locking screw and turning the
coin clockwise.
Once blade-locking screw has been
loosened completely, remove the
screw and push the blade from
behind with one hand. With the other
hand grip hole in center of blade.
(Fig. 7)
Handle blade carefully when
removing, the edges are very
sharp.
CAUTION:
•
Blade is sharp. Handle carefully.
•
Do not wash blade in dishwasher.
•
Do not remove the lubricant of
the gears.
4. The blade-locking screw, feeder and
blade can be washed in hot soapy
water and then dried carefully. It is
not recommended
to clean the blade
in the dishwasher because the sharp
edges could damage the dish-washer
rack, which could lead to rusting.
Be
careful
when cleaning the blade, as it
is extremely sharp.
Do not
touch the
sharp edge with hand.
5. The food press and food tray can be
put in the dishwasher for cleaning, but
it is recommended to hand wash
those items instead.
CAUTION
: Blade should not be left
to soak in water.
Trying to locate blade
under water is potentially dangerous.
We suggest that you wash, rinse, dry
and immediately install the blade back
on the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The white, food-grade lubricant on
gears of the blade and motor assembly
is used to reduce friction and noise of
the gears. It should not be removed or
the life of the gears and cutting
performance will be reduced, and noise
of operation will also be increased.
In case of total removal of lubricant, a
thin film of food-grade, FDA approved
lubricant may be applied for
replacement of the original lubricant.
Never apply industrial-use or
automobile-use lubricant to the
gears as they may not be safe for
eating, and they may damage the
gears.
