INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions for the Installation, Operation, and Care of the Meat Slicing
Machine.
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 (Figure 1 [6]) 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.
