IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons,
including the following:

• Read all instructions before using this food slicer.

• Do not immerse power unit, cord or plug in water or other liquid. See

instructions for cleaning.

• Extreme caution is necessary when any appliance is used near children.

• Do not allow children to use this appliance.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,

and before cleaning.

• Avoid contacting moving parts. Never feed food by hand. Always

use completely-assembled slicer with food tray and food pusher.

• Do not operate any damaged appliance. Do not operate with a

damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical
adjustment.

•

Use attachments only if recommended by Toastmaster Inc.

•

Do not use outdoors, or while standing in a damp area.

•

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

Use food slicer only as indicated in this manual.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of

personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be
used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is required, special
care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an
electrical rating of 125 V and at least 13 A, 1625 W, and (2) the cord must
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances,
your toaster may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate
electrical circuit from other appliances.

This product is for household use only.

HINTS FOR USING YOUR FOOD SLICER
Roasts: Beef, Pork, Poultry, and Lamb — IMPORTANT: Allow roasts to

stand for 15 to 20 minutes after removing from oven.
Bulk Bacon — With a sharp knife, remove rind from “thoroughly chilled”

bacon. Trim bacon to fit securely on food tray, fat side down.

CAUTION: Blade is sharp. Handle carefully.
NOTE: When you are fine slicing, unplug unit and moisten the blade with

a damp cloth, this helps to prevent sticking. If cheese builds up on blade or
under blade cover, unplug the slicer and wipe blade clean with a damp
cloth.

Cheese and Cold Cuts — Slice as needed to retain flavor. Remove the
plastic or hard casing from “well chilled” food before slicing. Use gentle
pressure for uniform slices.

Vegetables and Fruits — Slice potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers,
cabbage, eggplant, squash, and zucchini in a matter of minutes.

Breads — Don’t use excessive pressure or squeeze the loaf. Trim or cut
bread to fit comfortably on food tray between food pusher and thickness
guide. Move the loaf of bread smoothly through the blade with continuous
“gentle” pressure on the food pusher.
