SLICING HINTS

• Before slicing meat or chicken, remove any bones, string or

skewers.

• Chilled meat will give neater slices than warm meat.

• For best results when slicing warm meat and poultry, allow

cooked meat to stand for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
This allows the juices to set and make slicing easier and
neater.

• If slicing raw fish or thin steaks, slice when partially frozen

(not frozen solid)

TO USE

1. Clean the slicer thoroughly before use.

2. Position the slicer so that it is at right angle to your body

with the adjustment knob end closest to you.

3. Check that the On/Off switch is set at the off (0) position.

4. Fully unwind the cable and plug in.

5. Turn the adjustment knob (fig. 5) to select the desired slice

thickness. Turning the knob will move the position of the
face plate. Turn the knob clockwise for thicker slices and

a specific width by aligning the edge of the face plate with
the thickness gauge marked on the top of the slicer.
