Electric Food Slicer
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SLICER
Before operating your slicer for the first time, disassemble
and clean, (see page 5).
1. Be sure slicer is unplugged. Place assembled slicer
on a flat, dry surface. Position slicer in front of you
so that the
Thickness Knob
is on your left and the
Pusher
is on your right.
2. Check that the slicer is turned off. The
On/Off
Button
should not be pushed inward. Do not plug
it in yet.
3. Be sure the blade is tightly in place. (See
Removing
the Cutting Blade
on page 5). The
Platform
should
glide smoothly on its track. When using the slicer
for the first time, the
Platform
may need a few
drops of vegetable oil.
4. Remove the
Pusher
. Cut food to proper size before
placing on the
Platform
. Place food on
Platform
.
Position the
Pusher
on the back edge of the
Platform
. Place your hand so your fingers align with
the grooves inside the pusher. Do not allow any
food to hang over the
Platform
.
Note: Meats and
cheeses slice better when chilled.
5. Position the
Thickness Knob
for desired slice
thickness. Turn the knob clockwise for thicker slices,
counter clockwise for thinner slices.
