Electric Food Slicer

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SLICER

Before operating your slicer for the first time, disassemble and
clean, (see page 5).

1. Be sure slicer is unplugged. Place assembled slicer on a
flat, dry surface. Position slicer in front of you so that
the Thickness Knob is on your left and the Pusher is on
your right.

2. Check that the slicer is turned Off. Do not plug it in yet.

3. Be sure the blade is tightly in place. (See Removing the
Cutting Blade on page 5). The Platform should glide
smoothly on its track. When using the slicer for the first
time, the Platform may need a few drops of vegetable
oil.

4. Remove the Pusher. Cut food to proper size before
placing on the Platform. Place food on Platform.
Position the Pusher on the back edge of the Platform.
Place your hand so your fingers align with the grooves
inside the pusher. Do not allow any food to hang over
the Platform.

Note: Meats and cheeses slice better when chilled.

5. Position the Thickness Knob for desired slice thickness.
Turn the knob counter clockwise for thicker slices,
clockwise for thinner slices.

BEGIN SLICING

1. Plug the cord into a 120 Volt AC outlet.

2. Press On/Off Switch to start the slicer.

3. Allow slicer to run for thirty seconds to warm up.

4. Grasp the Pusher with right hand, keeping your thumb
protected behind the Pusher. Apply even pressure for
best slicing results.

5. Move the Pusher towards the Blade. Move back and
forth steadily and easily with even pressure. Repeat for
additional slices.

6. When finished slicing, press the On/Off Switch to
stop the Blade from turning. Unplug from outlet.

7. The slicer can operate continuously for 10 minutes,
after which it should be turned off and allowed to cool.

8. Always align the thickness guide with the cutting blade
after use.

Electric Food Slicer

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS GUIDE

n Do not slice anything that contains bones, large seeds or

other extremely hard materials.

n Remove all wrapping material from food before slicing.
n Do not slice without using both the Platform and the

Pusher.

n Remove thick rind on food before slicing.
n To slice meats or fish wafer thin, chill before slicing.
n Use the slicer to quickly cut cucumbers, potatoes,

zucchini, and onions.

n To maintain the freshness of your sliced foods for up to

five times as long as traditional food storage methods, it
is recommended that you use one of Deni’s vacuum
sealers or vacuum packaging systems. To order, or for
more information, call 1-800-DENI-VAC.

n Place foil underneath the platform table to catch juices

and crumbs for easy cleanup.

n For rolled or tied roast, remove strings one at a time as

the strings become closer to the blade (make sure the
motor is off).

Cheese

n Slice while well chilled.
n Before serving, allow cheese to reach room temperature.

This will enhance the natural flavor.

n Some process cheese may stick to blade. When

necessary, turn motor off and wipe blade with a damp
cloth. This moisture will help prevent the blade from
sticking.

n Some hard cheeses like cheddar will not slice properly.

Hot Roasts—Beef, Pork, Lamb, Turkey, Ham

n When slicing boneless roasts, remove from oven and

allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing. The meat
will retain its natural juices and slice without crumbling.

n Cut the roast, if necessary, to fit on the platform.

6

Bulk Bacon

n Chill thoroughly before slicing. Some types of smoked

bacon should have the rind removed.

®

Cold Cuts, Sandwiches

n Cold cuts of meat will keep longer and will retain flavor

longer if sliced when needed.

n For best results, chill first.
n Remove any plastic or hard casing before slicing.
n Use a constant, gentle pressure for uniform slices.

Fruits and Vegetables

n Slice potatoes for thick or thin chips.
n Slice cabbage for slaw.
n Slice carrots lengthwise in very thin strips. Soak in ice

water to curl.

n Slice zucchini, eggplant and squash.
n Peeled and cored pineapple can be easily sliced.

Breads, Cakes and Cookies

1

n For dainty sandwiches, slice bread about

/

4” thick.

n Fresh bread should be cooled before slicing.
n Slice all types of party breads, pound cakes and fruit

cakes.

n Especially effective with coarse textured breads and

cakes.

Fruit and Cheese Tray

n Select large, firm fruit. Thinly slice cored apples (peel

on), oranges, cored pears and pineapple. Arrange in
the center of a platter with thinly sliced swiss, American
or any cheese you prefer around the outside. (Fruit is
used instead of crackers.)
