Observe the cleaning instruction on Page 8 for best results and for safety. Also remember to 
always turn off the slicer and disconnect the electrical supply cord before cleaning.   
When slicing, always work the carriage using only the carriage arm handle (Figure 1 [8]). Do not 
hold or push the carriage from any other place. 
   

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  

 

The Univex slicer is designed to meet the cook's demand for an efficient, sturdy slicer. The  
Univex slicer will give unfailing performance over a period of years, when operated and 
maintained according to instructions contained herein.   
 

START/STOP SWITCH  

 

The slicer is started by moving the ON/OFF toggle switch (Figure 1 [10]).   
 

SLICE ADJUSTMENT  

 

Warning

:  Dial type knob adjustment (Figure 1 [9]) allows for slice thickness ranging from  

      

paper thin up to .5". Dial graduations allow you to precisely set up specific slice 
thickness for various needs. When not in use, always return knob back to its fully 
closed position (beyond "0") so that the knife edge is not exposed.   

 

PRODUCT CARRIAGE  

 

Caution:

 A last slice gravity feed grip (Figure 1 [6]) is provided to hold the product in place as it   

               

is being sliced. Do not use this last slice device to work the carriage back and forth.  

   Use only the carriage arm handle (Figure 1 [8]). Always make sure the carriage is  
   positively secured to the slicer by checking to see that the carriage arm knob (Figure 1  
   [7]) is fully tightened.   

 

 

PROTECTIVE GUARD  

 

Warning:

 The protective guard (Figure 1 [4]) covers the knife edge completely except at the  

                 

forward edge where slicing will be performed. This forward edge is covered by the  

     edge of the fence, but only when the slice adjustment is completely closed.  The knife  
     guard (Figure 1 [3]) can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the knife guard knob.  
     For safety, keep the knife guard on at all times except when cleaning. Never operate  
     the slicer with the knife guard removed.   

 

SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS 

 

This slicer is equipped with a knife having a concave or hollowed surface for superior slicing

, of

course, any knife, however superior, must be sharpened regularly and properly in order to 
prod

uce 

the highest quality slices, but also to allow it to maintain its productivity. The knife sharpene

for

 this machine is a 

top

 mounted design. Since the sharpener is not exposed during the sli

cing

operation,

 the stones remain free of food contamination and in the best possible condition for 

sharpening.
