IMPORTANT:
Due to the wide variety of finished product densities and additives (i.e. raisins,
onions, dried fruit chips, etc.), it is imperative that the machine be cleaned frequently and the
Slicer Blade be sharpened periodically. Slicing dense products or those with additives may
cause premature unit wear or even failure if:
1)
The Blade is not kept sharp
2)
The Slicer is not frequently cleaned
3)
The rate at which the product is fed into the slicer is too great.
