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 (Overview [1]). A indicator light (Overview [1]) is
provided to indicate when the slicer is turned on.
AUTOMATIC MODE:
Be sure to set your slice thickness by turning the Slice Adjust Knob (Overview [12]) first before
setting the slicer to automatic. To switch the slicer to automatic mode, simply turn the Automatic
Selector Knob (Overview [13]) from Manual to Auto then press the Start Switch. The slicer will turn
on and the carriage will begin moving back and forth. Simply turn the Automatic Selector Knob
back to Manual to end the automatic feature or shut the slicer off.
SLICE ADJUSTMENT
Warning
: Dial-type knob adjustment (Overview [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 (Overview [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 (Overview [9]). Always make sure the carriage is
positively secured to the slicer by checking to see that the carriage arm knob (Overview [11])
is fully tightened.
PROTECTIVE GUARD
Warning:
The protective guard (Overview [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
(Overview [6]) can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the knife guard knob
( Refer to p.6 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.
