NOTES ON THE CORD
The
provided short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled
in
or tripping
over
a longer cord. Do not use an extension cord with this product.
NOTES ON THE PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit
in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug
in
any way.
PLASTICIZER WARNING
CAUTION:
To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish
to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electrical circuit is
overloaded
with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly.
It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
1. To slice meats wafer thin, freeze meats for 2 to 4 hours before slicing. NOTE: Meats or foods should not be hard frozen.
If the serrated blade begins to drag, allow food to thaw slightly.
2. Meats should be boneless. Fruit should be free of seeds.
3. Foods with an uneven texture, such as fish and thin steaks, are often difficult to slice. Freeze them for 2 to 4 hours before slicing.
4. The Meat Slicer can quickly cut lettuce, cucumbers, onions or other fruit for delicious pickles, sandwiches, vegetable dishes
or desserts.
HOT ROASTS: BEEF, PORK, LAMB, HAM
1. When slicing warm boneless roast, remove from the oven at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. The meat will be juicier
and slice evenly without crumbling.
2. Cut the roast, if necessary, to fit on the sliding feed table. If the roast is tied, press the ON/OFF switch to turn the Meat Slicer OFF.
Then remove the strings one at a time as the strings are near the serrated blade. Continue slicing with strings removed.
EXTRA-THIN SLICED CORNED BEEF OR FRESH BEEF BRISKET
1. Chill cooked brisket overnight in a cooking liquid.
2. Before slicing, drain and preserve meat drippings from the brisket. Pat dry with paper towels. Remove excess fat.
Slice the chilled brisket to desired thickness.
3. To serve hot, place slices on heatproof platter and moisten with a small amount of the reserved meat drippings. Cover and heat in
the oven at 300
0
F for 30 minutes.
CHEESE
1. Chill thoroughly before slicing.
2. Cover with foil to keep moist.
3. Before serving, let the cheese reach mom temperature to enhance its natural flavor.
8
COLD CUTS
1. Remove any plastic or hard casing before slicing.
2. Cold cuts can be kept longer and retain their flavor if they are sliced as needed. For best results, chill first.
3. Use a constant, gentle pressure for uniform slices.
VEGETABLES AND FRUIT
1. Your Meat Slicer is ideal for slicing many fruits and vegetables, including lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots,
cabbage (for slaw), eggplant, squash and zucchini. Potatoes may be sliced thick for casseroles or thin for chips.
2. Fresh pineapple may be sliced neatly. Cut off top and slice to your preference.
BREADS, CAKES AND COOKIES
1. Freshly baked bread should be cooled before slicing. Use day-old bread for extra-thin slices for toasting.
2. Your Meat Slicer is ideal for all types of party breads, pound cake and fruit cake. For wafer-thin ice box cookies
or dough, chill in the refrigerator, then slice as desired.
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself.
