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 pushing the ON/OFF switch (refer to overview p. 3 [1]). An indicator light
(refer to overview p. 3 [1]) is provided to indicate when the slicer is turned on.
SLICE ADJUSTMENT
Warning
: Dial-type knob adjustment (refer to overview p. 3 [12]) 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. Please note that the numbers labeled on the slice adjustment knob are for
reference only and do not indicate any specific unit of measure. 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 (refer to overview p. 3 [3]) 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 (refer to overview p. 3 [11]). Always make sure the carriage
is positively secured to the slicer by checking to see that the carriage arm knob (refer to overview
p. 3 [10]) is fully tightened.
PROTECTIVE GUARD
Warning:
The protective guard (refer to overview p. 3 [5]) 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 (refer
to overview p. 3 [6]) can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the knife guard knob (refer to
Figure 2 [2]). For safety, keep the knife guard on at all times except when cleaning. Never
operate the slicer with the knife guard removed
