REMOVING AND REPLACING THE BLADE
CAUTION: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE BLADE
Before rst use, remove all packaging.
1) Make certain that the Food Slicer is OFF and UNPLUGGED. Turn the blade
release nut clockwise to unlock it. Pull out the Blade
BEFORE FIRST USE AND AFTER EVERY USE, CLEAN THE BLADE IN
WARM SOAPY WATER. RINSE AND DRY THOROUGHLY
2) To reinsert the blade, line up the tabs on the blade assembly with the slots
in the motor housing. Once the Blade Assembly is seated with the motor hous-
ing, turn the blade release nut anti-clockwise to lock it in position.
CAUTION: ALWAYS USE FOOD PLATEAU AND FOOD PUSHER
1. Plug into 220-240V mains outlet
2. Place food to be sliced on the sliding food plateau and press the food
pusher against thickness guide. Then move the sliding food plateau against
the blade by hand.
3.Themaximumsizeoffoodis:110x110x90(mm)(lengthxwidthxdepth).
4. Switch on the appliance.
5. When the blade is rotating, push the sliding food plateau toward blade.
Move back and forth steadily. Keep food gently pressed against guide for even
slicing
6. Do not operate the machine more than 5 minutes as the motor may over-
heat. 5 minutes should be more than enough time to slice any type of food. If
you need longer turn off switch & let it rest for at least 30 minutes to cool down
the motor.
7. During slicing, if the rotational speed of blade reduces, ease pressure on
the blade.
8. When slicing is complete, unplug unit. For safety and blade protection when
storing, turn thickness adjusting knob to align thickness guide with the blade
(zeroposition).

VEGETABLE AND FRUIT
Your slicer is perfect for slicing many vegetables and fruits including potatoes,

may be sliced thick for casseroles or thin for crisps. Fresh pineapple may be
sliced neatly. Cut off top and slice to order.
BREADS, CAKES AND COOKES
Freshly baked bread should be cooled before slicing. Use day-old or slightly
stale bread for extra-thin sliced for toasting. Your slicer is ideal for all types of
party breads, pound cake and fruit cake. For wafer-like ice box cookies or chill
dough in refrigerator, slice as desired.
UNPLUG SLICER FROM OUTLET
All slicing parts remove for thorough cleaning. Wash with a soft cloth or
sponge and a mild soap or a spray cleaner. Rinse and dry.
Never use steel wool or scouring powder on any part of slicer. Do not wash
any part of slicer in dishwasher. Motor is concealed in housing. Never sub-
merge water. Motor never needs oiling.
