Securing the blade guard For your safety, the food carriage (4) contains a thumb guard plate (4a) that can be moved in front of the blade’s cutting edge and locked in place when the slicer is not in use. This protects you and children from inadvertent contact with the blade edge. Using the thickness control knob (7), set the slice thickness to 0. Slide the carriage (4) forward to the right end stop (Fig. 1) so that the carriage thumb protector (4a) covers the blade edge.
To Slice 1. Plug cord into 120V, AC outlet. Push excess cord into the cord storage compartment (Fig. 3). Cord Safety: A short power cord is provided with this appliance to reduce the possibility of someone becoming entangled in it or tripping over it. While EdgeCraft does not recommend it, extension cords may be used. Use only 3-wire extension cords with 3 prong plugs. Extension cords should have an electrical rating not less than the rating on the electrical appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords.
Food carriage To remove the food carriage, set the thickness control knob to 0, slide the carriage control button to the “Remove” position (Fig. 5). Slide carriage away from blade until it comes off its track. Clean carriage guide and lubricate lightly with a few drosp of acid-free light household oil such as sewing machine oil (Fig. 6). Stainless steel blade To remove the cutting blade, insert a coin in the slot of the blade Figure 6. Lubricating Figure 7.
Notice: This Chef’sChoice® Electric Food Slicer has been equipped with a protective fuse to prevent the motor from overheating. In the unlikely event that the fuse fails, a spare fuse has been supplied with your slicer. To remove the old fuse, make certain that the Power Switch is in OFF position, that the power cord has been unplugged, that the thickness plate is in the “0” position and the food carriage is locked in place. Turn the slicer over with the motor cover resting on the table as shown (Fig. 10).
