OPERATION 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.
START/STOP SWITCH
The slicer is started by toggling the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 [10]) to the ON position. A pilot light
(Figure 1 [11]) is provided to indicate when the slicer is turned on.
SLICE ADJUSTMENT
Warning:
Dial-type knob adjustment (Figure 1 [9]) allows for slice thicknesses ranging from
paper thin up to 9/16". 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 (Figure 1 [5]) is provided. Do not use this last slice device
to work the carriage back and forth. Use only the carriage arm handle (Figure I [8]).
Always make sure the carriage is positively secured to the slicer by checking to see that
the carriage arm knob (Figure 1 [7]) is fully tightened. Failure to do this could result in
the carriage striking and damaging the knife edge.
PROTECTIVE GUARD
Warning:
The protective guard (Figure 1 [4]) covers the knife edge completely except under the
sharpener cover and 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 (Figure 1 [3]) can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the knife
guard knob (Figure 3 [31]). For safety, keep the knife guard on at all times except when
cleaning. Never operate the slicer with the knife guard removed.
SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS
This slicer is equipped with a knife having a concave or hollowed surface for superior slicing
quality. Of course, any knife, however superior, must be sharpened regularly and properly in order to
produce not only the highest qualit y slices, but also to allow it to maintain its productivity. The knife
sharpener (Figure 1 [2]) on this machine is a top mounted built -in mechanism, designed for
simplicity and ease of use.
Warning:
The following sharpening procedure will provide high qua lity sharpening results and
should also be followed for safety considerations:
1.
Warning:
Keep away from the knife edge.
2.
Completely close the slice adjustment (beyond "0") so mat the knife edge is not
exposed.
