Installation, Operation and Care of
EDGE12 SLICER
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The Edge12 slicer is equipped with a 1⁄2 hp motor. The slicer Knife is chrome-plated forged carbon
steel. The Slicer Base, Product Tray, Knife Cover, Ring Guard and Gauge Plate are made of smooth
finish anodized cast aluminum for easy cleaning. The rear-mounted Meat Grip is hinged on a rod with extension behind the Product Tray. The top-mounted knife Sharpener is removable for cleaning. A cord and plug is furnished as standard equipment.
The Edge12 slicer must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and sanitized after installation and before being used. Refer to Cleaning, page 5.
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the slicer, check for possible shipping damage. If the slicer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 5 days of delivery.
Prior to installing the slicer, test the electrical service to make sure that it agrees with the specifications on the machine data plate. The data plate is located on the right side of the slicer base.
The Product Tray is secured to the slicer by turning the Knob below the Product Tray clockwise until snug (Fig. 2).
Mount the Sharpener on top of the slicer (Fig. 1) by lowering it onto its post. The Sharpener can be removed for cleaning.
The Slice Deflector (Fig. 1) should already be mounted below the knife.
