Electric Food Slicer
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SLICER
Before operating your slicer for the first time, disassemble and
clean, (see page 5).
1. Be sure slicer is unplugged. Place assembled slicer on a
flat, dry surface. Position slicer in front of you so that
the
Thickness Knob
is on your left and the
Pusher
is on
your right.
2. Check that the slicer is turned Off. Do not plug it in yet.
3. Be sure the blade is tightly in place. (See
Removing the
Cutting Blade
on page 5). The
Platform
should glide
smoothly on its track. When using the slicer for the first
time, the
Platform
may need a few drops of vegetable
oil.
4. Remove the
Pusher
. Cut food to proper size before
placing on the
Platform
. Place food on
Platform
.
Position the
Pusher
on the back edge of the
Platform
.
Place your hand so your fingers align with the grooves
inside the pusher. Do not allow any food to hang over
the
Platform
.
Note: Meats and cheeses slice better when chilled.
5. Position the
Thickness Knob
for desired slice thickness.
Turn the knob counter clockwise for thicker slices,
clockwise for thinner slices.
