5. INSTALLATION
5.1 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
1. When the slicer has been unpacked and removed from its shipping carton, it should be checked carefully for
any damage that may have occurred during shipment. Do not plug in the power cord or attempt to operate the
slicer prior to this examination. Any damage during shipment must be reported to the freight company and sales
agent within 3 days of receiving goods. No claims accepted after this period.
2. Carefully check all slicer components such as the product table, pusher, sharpener, thickness control knob,
etc., to make certain they move freely and that there are no obstructions. Turn the thickness control knob as far
right as possible. Lubricate the pusher slide bar (on the product table) and the square and round table support
rails (underside of slicer) with Food Grade Machine Oil / Grease. Vegetable oil should never be used. Vaseline
may be used if no suitable grease can be obtained.
3. Install the Slicer on a firm, level surface. The feet can be adjusted to prevent rocking on a slightly uneven
surface.
4. National Standards exist which outline position, spacing and ventilation requirements for appliance
installation. Please consult the relevant Standard for requirements on installation space. We recommend a
minimum, well ventilated air gap of 100mm. Please ensure a gap of at least 100mm is given or more as
specified in the local Standard.
5.2 TESTING PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position, and the thickness control knob is turned as far to the
right as possible. In this way the gauge plate is in a position that the knife is not exposed during testing.
2. Plug power cord into correct electrical outlet, and ensure the mains cable does not cause a tripping hazard.
3. Turn the slicer ON and check for smooth knife rotation. Turn the slicer OFF.
4. Slide Product Table back and forth holding on to the Product Table Handle. If there is any rough operation or
obstruction, shut off, unplug power cord and call service for assistance.
6. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
The machines must be properly cleaned at least once a day; if necessary even more.
If the machines have not been used for a while they must be cleaned before use as well.
6.1 PRODUCT TO BE USED
Only use hot water and a biodegradable detergent for dishes with a 7-8 PH, at a temperature of no lower than
30°C using a soft, spongy cloth and a semi-rigid nylon brush for the plate and the sharp food press.
WARNING: For cleaning the sharp areas of the plates, the food press and the blade, we recommend using
protective gloves.Rinse well with a lot of hot clean water and dry with a soft cloth or a spongy material.
Do not clean slicer with running water from a tap or hose, etcs.
6.2 CLEANING SHARPENING STONES
Each time the sharpener is used, the sharpening stones should be examined for cleanliness. Turn off slicer, close
the gauge plate, unplug power cord and remove sharpener. If there is evidence of fatty or metallic build-up in the
stones, they must be cleaned. Otherwise, they will not have the abrasive quality necessary to sharpen.
Clean stones with a semi-rigid nylon brush. Now replace the sharpener and lock in position.
