WARNING

Sharp Blade Hazard.

Blades are sharp and can cause cuts. To avoid
injury from sharp blades, handle with caution.

Prior to rst use, it is important to clean the equipment. Wash new blades
with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly to remove the thin protective oil
lm.

1. Before each use, check that the equipment is clean and the blades are
in good condition. If loose or broken blades are found, blades must be
serviced.

2. Before each use, always check for proper blade alignment. Slowly set
the pusher head (D) onto the blade assembly. See Figures 1 and 2. They
should slide together with no obstructions. If there are obstructions, verify
they are a matching set. Rremove the obstruction.

3. Verify that the blade assembly and pusher head assembly are the
desired size.

4. Prepare the food product to be processed. The maximum size of the food
product is 3-1/2” (8.9 cm) in diameter.

5. Lift the handle (B) and place the food on the blade assembly with the at
side down.

6. Remove hand from the blade assembly area and place that hand on the
leg of the base on table top equipment, or on the wall for wall mounted
models.

NOTE:
Food acids will make blades dull and corrode the metal.
Always clean this food preparation equipment immediately
after every use.

1. Remove the pusher head assembly:
Tabletop models. Slide the pusher head (D) off the rod guides (A).
Figure 1.
Wall mount models. Remove the pin (J). Lift the handle (B) and slide
the pusher head (D) off the guide rods (A). Place pin (J) back into the
hole on the handle assembly to prevent its loss. See Figure 2.

2. Raise the bumpers approximately (E) 2” (5.0 cm). See Figures 1 and 2.

3. Loosen the thumbscrew (F) and carefully remove the blade
assembly (H). See Figures 1 and 2.

4. Wipe, rinse or spray off equipment, pusher head and blade assembly
thoroughly with HOT water.

5. Do not wipe across the blades or use scrub pads on this equipment.
Wiping across the sharp edge of the blade can cause injury and will dull
the blades.

6. The cutting blade assembly is best cleaned by forcing water under
pressure through the blades from the unsharpened side. If necessary,
use a nylon bristle cleaning brush to push food particles out from the
unsharpened side of the cutting blade assembly.

7. Do not put this equipment in a dishwasher or dish machine with soaps,
detergents, or other alkaline chemicals that can harm the equipment.

8. After cleaning, let the equipment air dry.

9. Install the cutting blade assembly by inserting the tab on the blade holder
into the groove in the base, then lowering the blade holder into the
seated and ush position in the base. Tighten the thumbscrew (F).

10. Lubricate the guide bar with mineral oil or Petro Gel after each use.
Do not use cooking oil as it will become sticky and may permanently
damage the equipment.

11. Slide the bumpers (E) into place.

12. Install the pusher head assembly:
Tabletop models. Slide the pusher head (D) onto the rod guides (A).
Figure 1.
Wall mount models. Remove the pin (J) from its storage location on the
