INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation, care, maintenance and repair of the
meat slicing machine. Disassembly, repair, replacement and reassembly instructions are included. A
trouble shooting guide is provided. A complete replacement parts list with identifying figures is also
included to facilitate identification and ordering of replacement parts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSPECTION
All Univex slicers are inspected and tested at the factory; however, they should be inspected carefully
by the person making the installation for loose, damaged or broken parts. Detached parts and fixtures
should be checked against the packing list to determine all are present. Any damages, imperfections or
shortages should be reported to the dealer or to Univex and the shipping carrier.
Warning:
After the slicer has been inspected, wash the slicer completely with warm water and mild
soap. For SAFETY, follow the cleaning instructions on page 12.
INSTALLATION
The most efficient installation of your Univex slicer will depend upon the layout of your kitchen.
Locate your slicer where it will save steps for the operator and be sure to provide sufficient clearance
around it for ease of maintenance and cleaning, as well as for efficient and safe use.
The slicer should be operated on a sturdy bench or table with the height determined to suit the
operator. It is most important that the forearm of the operator be at the proper level for ease and safety of
operation, as well as for maximum production. This height is considered optimum when the carriage
handle (Figure 1 [3]) of the slicer is at approximately the height of the operator’s elbow when standing.
IMPORTANT
Warning/Caution:
Before making electrical connections, CHECK the specifications on the name-
plate to make sure that they agree with those on your electrical service. A ground-
ing type three-terminal plug is provided for safety. If you do not have a mating
receptacle, have a qualified electrician provide one with a grounding provision in
accordance with local safety codes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
It is a violation of United States Department of Labor regulations to permit the operation of this slicer
by any person under the age of 18 years.
Warning:
The slicer knife is extremely sharp! Never touch the knife, always keep hands and fingers
clear of the knife. Never run the slicer without the guard and all other parts in place and
securely fastened. Take extra care to avoid accidents by keeping the knife guard and
sharpening assembly cover ON at all times. When the machine is not in use, the slice
adjustment knob (Figure 3 [1]) should be turned fully back to the closed position
(beyond “0”) so the knife edge is not exposed.
