INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions f'or the Installation, Operation, Care, Maintenance and Repair of theMeat Slicing Machine. Disassembly, Repair, Replacement and Reassembly Instructions are included.Atrouble shooting guide is provided. A complete Replacement Parts List with identifying figures is
also included to facilitate identification and ordering of replacement parts.
INSPECTION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All Univex slicers are inspected and tested at the factoiy; however, they should be reinspected carefully
by the person makingthe installation for loose, damaged or broken parts. Detached parts and fixturesshould be checked against packing list to determine all are present. Any damages should be reported to
the canier immediately, and any shortage ofparts or fixtures reported to Univex Corporation.
Warning: After slicer has been inspected, wash slicer completely with warm water and mild soap. For
SAFETY, follow the cleaning instructions on Pages 5 & 6.
INSTALLATION
The most eflicient installation of your Univex slicer will depend upon the layout of your kitchen.
Locate your slicer where it will save steps for the operator and be sure to provide sufficient clearancearound it for ease of maintenance and cleaning, as well as for efficient and safe use.
Slicer should be operated on a sturdy bench or table with the height determined to suit the operator. It ismost important that the forearm ofthe operator be at the proper level for ease and safety of operation, as
well as for maximum production. This height is considered optimum when the carriage handle (Figure 1
ofthe slicer is at approximately the height of the operator's elbow when standing.
[p1)
IMPORTANT
Warning/Caution: Electrical wiring instructions are found inthe wiring diagram (Figures 9 & IO.)
Before making electrical connections, CHECK the specifications on the nameplate
to make sure that they agree with those on your electrical service. A grounding
type three-terminal plug is provided for safety. If you do not have a mating
receptacle, have a qualified electrician provide one with grounding provisions inaccordance with local safety codes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
It is a violation of United States Department of Labor regulations to permit operation ofthe slicer by
any person under the age of 18 years.
Warning: The slicer knife is extremely sharp! Never touch the knife, always keep hands and fingers
clear ofthe knife. Never run slicer without the guard or other parts in place and securelyfastened. Take extra careto avoid accidents by keeping the knife guard and sharpening
assembly cover ON at all times. When the machine is not in use, the slice adjustment knobshould be turned fully back to the closed position (beyond 'O') so that the knife edge is not
exposed.
Observe the cleaning instruction on Page 5 -6 for best results and for safety. Also remember
to always turn offthe slicer and disconnect the electrical supply cord. When slicing, alwayswork the carriage using only the carriage arm handle (Figure 1 [9]). Do not hold or push the
carriage from any other place.

L WARNING: Keep away from the knife edge.
Complotely close the slice adjustment (beyond "0") so that the knife edge is not exposed.
The knife cutting area should be clean and free from food, especially grease. Grease will
ruin the ability of a grinding stone to sharpen an edge. The stone simply will not cut. If
cleaning is necessary, follow the procedure outlined on Page 6, Remember to unplug the
electrical supply cord.
Loosen sharpener lock pin (Figure 7 [261) whith bears against sharpener post, then lift
sharpener assembly (Figure 1 [41) and rotate it 1/2 turn (1800). Then seat it down over
the knife
Tighten sharpener lock pin (Figure 7 [26]). As the lock pin is tightened, it bears on the
sharpener post and automatically aligus the grinding and deburring stones to the preciseorientations whith are presst at our factory.
Turn slicer ON. Depress the sharpener button on the back side of blade and hold in,whith will stasi the grinding wheel rotating. Run until the beveled cutting surface cleansup. This can take from 30 seconds to several minutes depending on how dull the blade
was allowed to become.
Release sharpener button.
Turn slicer OFF and deck for the formation of a very slight burr on the side of knife
opposite the bevel whith indicates coniple grinding ofthe bevel. This slight burr can be
dctected either visually or by picking with a small piece of stiff paper.
Turn slicer ON. Lightly press deburring (honing) button on the front side of blade and
hold for Ito 2 seconds while you turn OFF the slicer. Blade should now be complotely
sharpened and honed,
Caution: It is impoitant for best slicing results not to deburr the knife too long or the keen
edge will be destroyed dueto the formation of an undesirable second bevel on the
opposite sìde This condition tends to be the primary cause of unsatisfactory
slicing results.
Turn slicer OFF. Loosen lock pin, (Figure 7 [26 J) then lift and rdum sharpener to its
storage position. Tighten lock pin.
Clean slicer and knife according to the cleaning procedure on Page 5 -6 in order to
