• To ensure hands are kept away from blade while slicing, hold food mover handle with right
hand and place fingertips of left hand on the plastic guide behind handle and use both hands
to move food carriage.
• Put a piece of foil or parchment paper down along backside of slicer to catch food.
• Check the thickness of your first couple of slices, then adjust slicer as necessary.
• Do not slice frozen meat, meats with bones, or fruits or vegetables with hard pits, such as an
avocado.
• If using slicer to slice raw meat, clean it well before using to slice something else.
• Use cut-resistant safety gloves when handling blade.
• Keep the slicer unplugged when not in use.
• For safe storage after use, always return the slice thickness dial to the start position.
To put food carriage back on:
1. If necessary, slide the carriage rod release mechanism to the right to release the carriage
rod. Or, if rod was removed from slicer, reinsert rod into left side of unit, leaving right side free.
2. Carefully slide the food carriage assembly back on to the carriage rod. It’s a good idea to hold
the sliding food holder in place as you do so.
3. To reinsert rod on right side, move the carriage rod release mechanism to the right to make
room for the rod. Reinsert the rod, then let go of the mechanism so that it slides left to secure
the rod in place.
