Operation
Things to keep in mind
1. The foodstuff should only be loaded onto the meat table with the thickness control
set to zero and the power switched off at the at the control panel.
Aside from being essential to your safety, these conditions keep the foodstuff to be
sliced (particularly if it is solid) from being accidently knocked against the cutting
edge of the blade, which could be damaged.
2. The VA2000 is an automatic slicer. If the machine doesn’t operate there is a reason
for it. Check the section on Trouble shooting for assistance.
3. Sharpen the blade as soon as the sliced foodstuff begins to look ragged or
rough ened, or when the effort required to slice increases signifi cantly. Refer to the
Maintenance section for the correct procedure for blade sharpening.
4. Some products should not be sliced on the VA2000 because of the risk of injury to
the operator:
•
Non-food articles
•
Food products with bones
•
Deep-frozen food products
