INSTRUCTION MANUAL  

INTRODUCTION  

This manual contains instructions for the Installation, Operation, and Care of the Meat Slicing Machine. 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 packing list to determine all are present. Any damages, 
imperfections or shortages should be reported to the dealer or Univex and shipping carrier.  

Warning: After slicer has been inspected, wash slicer completely with warm water and mild soap. 

For SAFETY, follow the cleaning instructions on Page 8.  

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.  

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 [

7

]) 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 nameplate to 

                                make sure that they agree with those on your electrical service. A grounding type 
                                three terminal plug is provided for 120 volt, 60Hz units. If you do not have a mating  
                                receptacle, have a qualified electrician provide one with grounding provisions in    
                                accordance with local safety codes.  

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS  

It is a violation of United States Department of Labor regulations to permit operation of the 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 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  
                should be turned fully back to the closed position (beyond "0") so that the knife edge is not  
               

 

exposed.
