General Installation And Operation
Instructions:
The Avantco meat slicers are a range of medium duty electrically driven appliances. The units have been designed to
meet the highest safety and hygiene standards. The robust aluminum construction and powerful drive motor ensure
long and reliable operation and use. These units will not slice frozen or raw meats. Doing so will void the warranty.
The SL512 is the only model suitable for slicing cheese, at no more than 30 min per day.
provided by the carrier.
1. Place the unit in the desired location with the on/off switch facing the operator. DO NOT plug the unit in at this point.
The supporting table should be stable and at the correct working height. The work surface should be in a dry location and preferably away from heavy traffic areas.
2. Clean the unit with a DAMP cloth using a neutral P.H. dish detergent. Wipe and dry the machine. (See Cleaning
instructions on page 3 of this manual.)
Cut through the greasiest dishes, glassware, cutlery, pots, and pans with Sunbright pot
and pan dishwashing liquid. This heavy-duty pot and pan dishwashing liquid was specially
designed for the institutional environment with its super concentrated, high active, high
sudsing formula. Available in 32 oz. bottles (12/case) or 5 gallon bulk supply.
3. Set the thickness of slice required using the control knob adjacent to the on/off switch.
4. The meat support platform should be in the start position that is close to the operator. Lift up the food pusher; place
the meat to be sliced on the support platform against the raw edge. Return the food pusher to its original position
now on top of the meat to be sliced.
5. Switch on the motor and using the handle on the food pusher, push the carriage back and forth to begin cutting the food.
6. After you are finished cutting, turn off machine and collect the product slices in the exit area.
7. Please Note: The blade-sharpening device is NOT factory fitted on MODELS SL310, SL312 AND SL512.
To fit, follow the procedure below.
a) Fit the sharpening device in the socket provided, ensuring the grinding stones are positioned
at the rear of the machine.
b) Tighten the safety locking screw.
To replace the belt, please remove the knife and motor, then remove belt through the hole under the knife. Then, install
the new belt and reassemble.

Safety
1. The units are designed to operate an alternating current (A.C) only. DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (D.C).
2. Please ensure that the power supply cord does not come into contact with hot surfaces.
3. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new cord assembly. (Available from the suppliers agent.)
4. The appliance must only be used for its intended purpose.
5. It is strongly suggested that the operators of this machine wear close fitting clothes. It is essential when blade
maintenance or cleaning is undertaken that suitable hand protection gloves are used.
6. ALWAYS unplug the slicer before undertaking cleaning or maintenance of the unit.
7. These machines are not suitable for cutting frozen products, boned meat or cheese.
8. These machines must be operated by trained personnel and should never be used by unskilled operators or children.
9. The blade must be replaced when it has reduced in size by 5mm.
LubriQuik food grade silicone spray lubricant is ideal for use on virtually any equipment or machinery that makes contact with food, such as slicers, conveyor systems, bottling and canning machinery, bakery equipment, and dairy equipment.
Blade Sharpening
1. This operation should be undertaken if the cutting blade becomes dull. It should be noted that the blade is made
from hardened material and under normal use should only need sharpening once a year.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Ensure that the slice thickness knob is in the ‘0’ position.
4. CAREFULLY clean the part of the blade to be sharpened.
5. Unlock the sharpening device using the safety locking screw. Lift up the sharpening assembly and rotate it 180° so
that both grinding wheels are in the correct position. Lower the sharpening device and lock in position.
6. Plug in the machine and switch on.
7. Using the button at the rear of the sharpening unit, push the stone against the rotating blade for approximately
30 seconds.
8. After sharpening, it is important to remove the grinding wheel from the blade by letting go of the push button on the
front of the sharpening device. Run the slicer for 2-3 seconds after letting go of this button.
9. Return the sharpening device to its original position by unlocking the safety screw and rotating by 180°.
