BLADE SHARPENING
Blade sharpening of slicer with built-in sharpener
WARNING: SHARPENING OPERATION WILL EXPOSE KNIFE.
Before proceeding with blade sharpening, remain alert to the RESIDUAL RISKS
that refer to the hazard of serious injuries if the instructions below are not
followed.
Sharpen the blade weekly or any time that cutting becomes difficult and/or produces a
large amount of waste. The slicer should be considered and treated as a knife: If it is not
adequately sharpened, the slicing results will be poor, and the slicer will be overloaded.
It is necessary to follow the detailed instructions:
1.
Turn the unit off and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
2.
Turn the thickness adjustment knob to 0 and clean the blade
thoroughly to remove any grease or food residue.
3.
Loosen the sharpener knob (1), lift the built-in sharpener (2) up
(a) and rotates it 180 ° (b).
4.
Check that the blade is positioned between the two sharpening
stones. Relock the sharpener knob (1).
5.
Connect the plug and press “I” pushbutton to turn on the
slicer.
6.
Push the sharpening stone button (13), let the blade rotate
against the grinding mole for 30 - 40 sec. to produce burr on the
blade edge.
7.
Push sharpening and polishing buttons (13 and 14)
simultaneously for 3 - 4 seconds to dress the blade and then
release.
8.
It is recommended to clean the sharpening stones and blade after the sharpening
procedure.
9.
Once the sharpening is completed, set the sharpening attachment in its original position
inverting the above procedure.
