Sharpen the Blade
NOTICE: Do not lubricate the blade sharpener assembly.
NOTICE: Use the integrated sharpener to sharpen the blade. Do not
remove the blade to sharpen.
Sharpen the blade weekly
or any time that cutting becomes difficult or
produces a large amount of waste. The slicer should be treated as a
knife. If it is not adequately sharpened, the slicing results will be poor
and the machine will be overloaded.
1. Turn the index control to the zero (0) position.
2. Press and release the OFF (O) button.
3. Unplug the slicer from the electrical outlet.
4. Clean the blade to remove any grease or food.
5. Loosen the sharpener locking knob.
6. Rotate the sharpener 180°.
7. Position and press down on the sharpener so the blade is between
the two sharpening stones. Position the stones to overlap the blade
by approximately 1/8 inch.
8. Tighten the sharpening lock knob.
9. Plug the slicer into the electrical outlet.
10.Press and release the ON (—) button.
11.Press and hold the sharpening stone button. Let the blade rotate
against the stone for 30-40 seconds. Release the button. Correctly
sharpening the blade should produce sparks. See the
Troubleshooting section if sharpening does not produce sparks.
12.Simultaneously press and hold the sharpening and deburring stone
buttons for 3-4 seconds. Release the buttons.
NOTICE: Pressing the buttons for longer than 3-4 seconds could
bend the blade, which could then damage the slicer.
13.Press and release the OFF (O) button and unplug the slicer.
14.Clean the slicer. See “Clean and Sanitize the Slicer” on page 4.
