- do not remove the trans­parent guards and do not
modify or bypass any me­chanical and electrical pro­tective devices;

- slice only the permitted
products, do not attempt

cuts on prohibited type
products;

- always keep clean and dry
the sliced product resting
surface, the work area all
around the machine and the
operator oor area;

- do not use the machine as
a resting surface and do not
place any objects on it other
than food used for cutting
operations;

- do not use the slicer when,

carried out by the user or
unauthorised personnel, use
of replacement parts that
are not original or not spe­cic for the machine model.
The machine shall not be
used in open areas and/or
areas which are exposed to
atmospheric agents and in
environments with vapours,
fumes or corrosive and/or
abrasive powders, with risk
of re or explosion and in
any case where the use of
antiexplosive components
is required.

RESIDUAL RISKS: The safe­ty ring around the blade is
made in conformity to all
the standards but, in order
to allow the sharpening
operations, the protection
in the sharpening area may
not entirely eliminate the
risk of cutting.

WARNING! Risk of

!

injury from sharp

blade! During the blade

cleaning and sharpening
operations, pay extra at­tention to keep your hands
as far as possible from the
unprotected area. Use of
protective gloves is recom­mended.

DESCRIPTION

Circular blade slicer ma­chine suitable for cutting
only the food products of
the types and within the
dimensional limits indicat­ed in this manual. The main
parts of the machine are
shown in the general com­ponent diagram reported
in picture 1. This product is

for household use only.

INSTALLATION OF
THE MACHINE

Install the machine on a
at, smooth and dry surface
suitable for supporting the
weight of the machine it­self plus the products to be
sliced.

WARNING! Verify

!

that there are no ob­stacles to the meat table
travel and to the loading of
products.

The machine must be in­stalled in the immediate vi­cinity of an approved stand­ard outlet connected to an
electrical supply system,
which is in conformity with
the prevailing regulations
for:

- magneto-thermic protec-

tion;

- automatic differential

switch;

- earthing system.

Before carrying out elec­trical hook up verify that
the characteristics of the
electrical power supply is in
accordance with those indi­cated on the machine infor­mation plate.

OPERATION

WARNING! Risk of in-

!

jury from sharp blade!

Check that the thickness
adjustment knob (5) is in
the safety position (on the 0
position) - Fig. (A).

1. Pull the meat table (8) all
the way back (towards the
operator) in the loading po­sition - Fig. (L);

5

2. lift the product holder

(17) into the standby posi­tion;

3. place the product to be
sliced on the meat table
near the operator side wall.
Block it with the product
holder applying slight pres­sure;

4. adjust the slice thickness.
Activate the blade (10) by
pressing the start button
(1). Grip the product holder
handle (9) and start an al­ternative cutting motion;

5. at the end of the cutting
operations return the slice
thickness adjustment knob
to the safety position and
pull the meat table back.
Stop the blade motion by
pressing the stop button (2).

CLEANING

Before using, clean the ma­chine at least once a day –
or more often if necessary
– and always after a long
period of inactivity.

WARNING! Risk of

!

electric shock! Be-

fore cleaning, disconnect
the plug from the electrical
mains socket and place the
thickness adjustment knob
in the safety position.

WARNING! Risk of in-

!

jury from sharp blade!

Check that the thickness
adjustment knob (5) is in
the safety position (on the 0
position) - Fig. (A).

Products for cleaning:

6

use only hot water and bio­degradable mild detergent,
using a soft, spongy cloth
and a semi-rigid nylon brush
for the sharp areas of the
plate and the product hold­er. Do not clean the machine
with jets of water or steam
or similar methods.

Dismantling:

- the meat table (only for
the machine equipped with
the meat table removable
mechanism):

1) with the thickness ad­justment knob in the safe­ty position, pull back the
carriage all the way until
the travel limit toward
the operator; 2) use the
meat table release lever,
keeping the support at
the travel limit in order to
free the meat table from
its support. To correctly
carry out the operation it
may be necessary to act
simultaneously also on
the thickness adjustment
knob, rotating it slightly
with respect to the safe­ty position; 3) extract the
product holder unit slid­ing the meat table from
its support - Fig. (B);

- the blade cover:

1) rotate the blade cover
90° counter clock-wise
using the special knob; 2)
a spring facilitates the ex­traction of the blade cov­er - Fig. (C);

- the slice deector:
remove the slice deec­tor following the direction
shown in the gure - Fig. (D);

- the sharpener (only for
the machine equipped with
sharpener):

remove the complete
sharp unit pulling it up­ward - Fig. (E).

WARNING! Risk of in-

!

jury from sharp blade!

For the cleaning operations
of the sharp areas of the
plates, the product holder
and the blade, use of pro­tective gloves is also recom­mended.

Cleaning:

- the blade: press a damp
cloth on the surface of the
blade and move it slowly
from the center toward the
outside on the blade cover
side and the opposite side ­Fig. (F). In the same way dry,
it using a dry cloth. NEVER
turn on the machine while
cleaning the blade;

- the safety ring: use a soft
brush to clean the area be­tween the blade and the
safety ring. Be careful NOT
to put your hands close to
the blade;

- the machine body: use a
damp cloth or a sponge,
rinsing frequently with hot
water. Dry carefully.

Reassembling:

- the sharpener (only for
the machine equipped
with sharpener): insert the
sharpener unit as shown in
the gure - Fig. (G) - until it
comes to a stop in the cor­rect position;

- the slice deector: posi-

tion the slice deector in its
seat - Fig. (H);

- the blade cover: reassemble
the blade cover and rotate it
90° clockwise until it locks
into its initial position - Fig (I);

- the meat table (only for
the machine equipped with
the meat table remova­ble mechanism): insert the
meat table on the carriage,
verify that the securing le­ver returns to the initial
position, verify that the car­riage slides freely and check
the correct operation of the
thickness adjustment knob.

MAINTENANCE

Blade Sharpening
(only for the machine
equipped with sharpener)

the manufacturer or to one
of the Authorized Service
Centers (see SERVICE).

For sharpening, follow the
instructions:

1. position the thickness
adjustment knob in the
safety position - Fig. (A);

2. pull the meat table all
the way back - Fig. (L);

3. raise the sharpener ­Fig. (M) - and rotate it to
position it in the sharp­ening conguration -

Fig. (N);

4. release the sharpener;

5. activate the blade by

pressing the start but­ton;
