convenience.
2. Pull HANDLE all the way toward you and carefully place the tomato on the SLIDE BOARD between the PUSHER
PLATES and the BLADES. CAUTION: SHARP BLADES
3. Withdraw your hand. With one quick motion, push the HANDLE toward the BLADES and catch the tomato in your
hand or container.

Cleaning
NOTE: Proper maintenance plays an important part in the life span and functioning of the unit
1. Be careful of the sharp blades.
2. Remove the CARTRIDGE BLADE ASSEMBLY by loosening the CLAMPING KNOBS and lifting the BRIDGE off the
BLADE ASSEMBLY. The BLADE ASSEMBY can now be lifted up and off the GUIDE RODS. (NOTE: When replacing the
BLADE ASSEMBLY, it will only fit on the machine properly one way. Be sure that the notch in the BLADE
ASSEMBLY is aligned with the protrusion in the FRAME.)
3. To remove the PUSHER ASSEMBLY for cleaning, remove the THUMB SCREWS and the SLIDE STOP and pull the
PUSHER off the end of the SLIDE BOARD.
4. To re-assemble, reverse the procedure.
NOTICE: Always rinse the TOMATO SLICER in cold or lukewarm water after it has been washed in hot water!
(Hot water will make the SLIDE BOARD expand and may make it hard to push the PUSHER ASSEMBLY until the
SLIDE BOARD returns to room temperature.)
IMPORTANT: NEMCO recommends occasional application of mineral oil in the grooves of the slide board.
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF COOKING OIL – The GUIDE PLATE will cease up on the SLIDE BOARD.
