OPERATING 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.
A high torque motor drives the knife through a highly efficient polyvee (multi-ribbed) belt and mating pulleys. The upper
pulley. which the knife attaches to, is a massive flywheel which further assists the motor in handling the toughest slicing
tasks.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
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 or 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.
Observe the cleaning instructions on Page 7 for best results and for safety. Also remember to always turn the slicer OFF
and disconnect the electrical supply cord.
When slicing, always work the carriage using only the carriage arm handle (Fig. 1 [6]) Do not hold or push the carriage
from any other place.
START/STOP SWITCH
The slicer is started by pushing the ON/OFF toggle switch (Fig. 1 [10]) upward to the ON position. A pilot light (Fig. 1
[11]) is provided to indicate when the slicer is turned on.
SLICE ADJUSTMENT
Warning:
Dial type knob adjustment (Fig. 1 [8]) allows for slice thicknesses ranging from paper thin up to 5/8". Dial
graduations allow you to precisely set up specific slice thicknesses 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.
POSITIVE HOLD CARRIAGE
Caution:
A last slice gravity feed grip (Fig. 1 [4]) is provided which can be locked out of the way when not required. Do
not use this last slice device to work the carriage back and forth. Use only the carriage arm handle (Fig. 1 [6]).
Always make sure the carriage is positively secured to the slicer by checking to see that the carriage arm knob (Fig. 1 [5])
is fully tightened. Failure to do this could result in the carriage striking and damaging the knife edge.
