Operation General 1. Check to see that the center plate and product table are in place on the slicer and the gauge plate is completely closed.

The product table slides completely onto the support arm and is secured with the red product table locking knob. 2.

Set the product onto the table with the side of the product securely against the front edge of the product table and place the pusher behind the product. Turn the slicer on and rotate the thickness control knob to set the proper thickness. When pushing the product table, always use the product table handle. 2.

Sharpening Sharpen only when necessary. Too frequent or prolonged sharpening will prematurely wear the knife and/or stones. The knife should be sharpened when you notice wavy slices or excessive scrap. Only sharpen the knife after it has been cleaned. You cannot effectively sharpen a dirty knife. 1. If it is an automatic slicer, make sure the engagement knob is in the manual position, by pushing in (to the left) the knob on the right side of the support arm. 2.
Troubleshooting Electrical Failure 1. Is the pilot light illuminated? If not: • Is the power cord completely plugged into the wall outlet? • Check the power cord for cuts or breaks. • Are you getting electricity from the wall outlet? Check by plugging in another piece of equipment with the same electrical requirements. 2. Is the pilot light illuminated but blinking? If so, then push the stop button and then the start button.
