ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
◆ Do not touch sharp surfaces. To avoid danger of injury, always cut
food with Feeder and Food Press in place. The Food Press should
always be used, unless the size and shape of the food prohibits its
use. The Protective Rail requires the Feeder to be used in all
slicing situations. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
◆ Always set the Thickness Adjustment Knob to minimum thickness
position and lock the Slicer after each use, before and after cleaning.
◆ Operate this appliance on a flat, level surface only.
Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to
fit into 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 modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of
the countertop or tabletop or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC
coasters or placemats between the appliance and the finish of the
countertop or tabletop.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes
may occur or stains can appear.

10. Push the food with the Food Press. Move the Feeder steadily back
and forth, pressing food gently with the Food Press against the
Adjustment Plate for even slices. See Figure 4. To avoid injury,
always cut the food with Feeder and
Food Press. In case the food shape
or size does not allow for the use of
the Food Press, it can be removed.
However, extra care should be taken
during cutting. Once the food is
reduced in size, use the Food Press
to continue slicing the remainder of
the food.
11. Do not use the slicer to cut deep
frozen food or bones. The slicer may
become overloaded and damage the Blade.
12. Do not use the slicer to cut jellylike or wet food. The jelly or the
excessive juice may spread into the electrical components of the
motor assembly. It may lead to fire and electric shock, personal
injury or death.

User Maintenance Instructions (cont.)
10. Do not remove the White lubricant on
the gears and Motor Assembly. The
lubricant is used to reduce the friction
and noise of the gears. Removal of the
lubricant will reduce the cutting
performance and increase the operating
noise. If the lubricant has been removed,
a thin film of margarine or food-grade
lubricant may be applied. Never apply
industrial-use or automotive-use
lubricants as they may not be safe for
consumption and may damage the gears.
11. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning
must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
FIGURE 7
Helpful Hints
The Food Slicer can be used to cut meat, cheese, vegetables or bread.
1. Roasts: Beef, pork, poultry and lamb -- Allow roasts to stand for
20 minutes after removing from the oven before slicing.
2. Bulk Bacon: With a sharp knife, remove the rind from
"thoroughly chilled" bacon. Trim bacon to fit securely on Feeder,
fat side down.
3. 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.
4. When you are going to slice very thin food, unplug the unit and
moisten the Blade with a damp cloth; this helps to prevent
sticking. If cheese builds up on the Blade or under the Blade
Cover, unplug the slicer and wipe the Blade clean with a damp
cloth.
5. When slicing food that is not uniform in size, always slice with the
largest side first.
6. Vegetables and fruits: Slice potatoes, tomatoes, carrots,
cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce, eggplant, squash and zucchini in a
matter of minutes.
7. Breads: Do not use excessive pressure or squeeze the loaf. Trim
or cut bread to fit comfortably on the Feeder. Move the loaf of
bread smoothly through the blade with continuous "gentle"
pressure on the loaf.
