6. USE YOUR FOOD SLICER
For best results
To slice thin meat, let it chill, before slicing..
Meat should be boneless. Fruits should be
free of seeds.
Foods with an uneven texture (like fish and
thin steaks), are often difficult to slice. Freeze,
partially, before slicing.
At canning time, use the slicer to quickly cut
cucumbers and onions for attractive pickles...
apples for pies...vegetables for the freezer.
Hot roasts: beef, pork, lamb, turkey, ham
When slicing warm boneless roasts, remove
from oven and let set 15 to 20 minutes, before
slicing. They will retain more natural juices and
slice evenly without crumbling. Cut the roast,
if necessary, to fit on food tray. If toast is tied,
turn off motor and remove strings, before they
get near the blade.
Extra-thin sliced corned beef or fresh beef
brisket
Chill cooked brisket overnight in cooking
liquid, before slicing. Drain and reserve meat
drippings from brisket. Pat dry with paper
towels. Remove excess fat. Slice well-chilled
brisket to desired thickness. To serve hot,
place slices on heatproof platter and moisten
with small amount of reserved meat drippings.
Heat in 180ºC oven for 30 minutes.
5. CLEANING
Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance
from the mains and use the cutting regulator
to reduce the cutting thickness by aligning
the knife with the mobile guide.
Clean with a slightly damp cloth.
Do not submerge the appliance in water or
any other liquid.
Cheese
Chill before slicing. Cover with foil to keep
moist. Before serving, allow cheese to reach
room temperature, this enhances its natural
flavour.
Cold cuts
Cold cuts keep longer and retain flavour if
sliced according to needs. For best result,
chill first. Remove any plastic or hard casing
before slicing. Use a constant, gentle pressure
for uniform slices.
Vegetables and fruits
Your slicer is "made to order" for slicing many
vegetables and fruits including potatoes,
tomatoes, carrots, cabbage (for slaw),
eggplant, squash and zucchini. Potatoes may
be sliced thick, for casseroles or for chips.
Fresh pineapple may be sliced neatly. Cut off
top and slice to order.
Breads, cakes and cookies
Freshly baked bread should be cooled, before
slicing. To slice extra-thin bread, in order to
toast, use bread from the day before. Your
slicer is ideal for all types of party breads.
Safety switch
This slicer is provided with a safety switch to
avoid the possibility of it being switched on
accidentally.
In order to switch on the appliance, move
lever "A" rightwards using your finger (fig. 1):
keep it in this position and at the same time
press "B" with your thumb (fig. 2).
7. INFORMATION FOR THE CORRECT

ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES
At the end of its working life,
the product must not be
disposed of as urban waste. It
must be taken to a special
local authority differentiated
waste collection centre or to a
dealer providing this service. Disposing of a
household appliance separately avoids
possible negative consequences for the
environment and health deriving from
inappropriate disposal and enables the
constituent materials to be recovered to
obtain significant savings in energy and
resources. To remind you that you must
collaborate with a selective collection scheme,
the symbol shown appears on the product
warning you not to dispose of it in traditional
