GENERAL INFORMATION
PRESENTATION
The aim of this handbook is to provide the customer with as much
information as possible about our food slicer, and instructions for
its use and maintenance in order to keep it working efciently. This
handbook should be given to those responsible for the use and
periodical maintenance of the slicer. The handbook should be kept
in good condition and stored in an easily accessible place for
quick reference.
IMPORTANCE OF THE HANDBOOK
The handbook is an integral part of the machine. It includes
important information regarding safety and danger, pointed out
by these symbols:
The information included will allow you to use the machine in
perfectly safe conditions and to obtain the best results.
SAFETY
MAIN VOLTAGE
Before plugging in, check that the main voltage corresponds to the
voltage indicated on the food slicer (see data plate).
WARNINGS AND SAFETY RULES
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
6
Read carefully all the instructions before using the machine, taking
particular care of the paragraphs with the safety and danger symbols.
CONTROL
Transmission.
Immediately after installation, check that the
appliance is operating correctly as follows:
– Ensure the thickness control knob (6) is in
“0” position.
– Switch on the slicer.
– Using a cloth, push on the blade (3), to try to
brake it; the blade must not stop. If the blade does
stop, return appliance to Waring service center.
Sliding capacity of the food tray group carriage.
Check that the carriage slides across
its full range. It is possible that some
pieces of the packaging remain on
the sliding bars (28 and 29) and can
impede the sliding mechanism.
Clean the square bar (28) indicated
in the picture with a cloth (avoid
degreasing the bar).
Periodically, after having cleaned the cylindrical sliding bar (29),
lubricate it with Petro-Gel or similar food-grade oil (30).
Sharpener group.
Check the insertion of the sharpener assembly (see #10 on
illustration) in its seat, to make sure the sharpener is properly
mounted and to ensure it is secure.

BLADE SHARPENING – for blade diameter:
8½", 10", 12" Blades
NOTE: It should be noted that the blade is highly resistant;
therefore, it needs to be sharpened only when the cutting
performance decreases.
• Unplug slicer from electrical outlet.
• Check that the movable bulkhead (2) is closed (thickness control
knob (6) in position “0”). See Fig. 2.
• Carefully clean the part of the blade that needs to be sharpened.
10
• Reinsert the plug.
• Loosen the locking knob (13) of the sharpener group (10).
See Fig. 1.
• Raise the sharpener group (10), turning it by 180° so that both
wheels are in working position. See Fig. 2.
• Lower the sharpener group (10) until it locks. See Fig. 2.
• Secure the group by turning the locking knob (13). See Fig. 3.
• Switch on (5). See Fig. 2.
• Press button (26) and let the blade turn for about 1 minute. Turn
slicer off (5). When the blade is still, check to see if any burrs have
formed on the edge. See Fig. 2.
• After having veried the presence of burr, switch on and gently
press button (27) for about 3 seconds to remove the burr
produced during sharpening. See Fig. 2.
• After sharpening, move the sharpener group (10) back to its
original position and clean the edge of the blade and the wheels.
• After several sharpening operations, remove any residue from the
sharpening wheel with alcohol and a brush.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING INSTRUCTIONS
THE SLICER MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED, RINSED,
SANITIZED AND DRIED AFTER EACH DAY OF USE ACCORDING
TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY ALLOW RESIDUE OF SLICED MATERIAL
TO COLLECT ON THE UNIT.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive cloths when
cleaning the unit.
• Remove the plug before the maintenance and disassembly
operations for cleaning of the protective parts.
• Wash, rinse, sanitize and dry slicer prior to initial use and whenever
it has not been used for an extended period of time.
• Wash and rinse blade and slicing carriage after each use.
• Clean and sanitize motor base prior to initial use and after
each use.
• Washing solutions based on non-sudsing detergents and
chlorine-based sanitizing solutions having a minimum chlorine
concentration of 100 PPM are recommended.
11
• Before carrying out any maintenance operation, unplug the
machine and make sure that the thickness control knob is in the
“0” position. Remove the blade guard periodically, by removing the
screw (in the center of the blade guard). Then clean both the blade
and the inside of the blade guard with alcohol or warm water.
The following washing, rinsing, and sanitizing solutions, or their
equivalents, may be used.

EASY-CLEAN SYSTEM
1. Make sure that the thickness control knob is in position “0”
– Fig. 1 (the system operates only if the thickness control
knob is in position “0”).
2. Pull the carriage toward the
thickness control knob and tilt the carriage outward – Fig. 2/3.
3. Proceed with the cleaning.

CLEANING OF THE BLADE
BLADE IS SHARP. HANDLE
CAREFULLY WHEN CLEANING.
It is not necessary to disassemble
the blade when cleaning it because
all its parts are reachable. The blade
is very sharp.
WARNING: The replacement of the
blade must be made by specialized
personnel.
FIG. 1
• The blade has to be replaced when
FIG. 2
it is not possible to sharpen it, or
when the distance between the
cutting part of the blade and the
blade guard is more than 1/4 inch.
FIG. 3
• The machine and all its parts
should be cleaned with soft cloths
moistened with standard, neutral
detergents.
• Use soft cloths for drying. When the
sliding carriage moves with difculty,
lift the food slicer and place it on its
side. Carefully clean the cylindrical
sliding bar and lubricate it with
lithium grease or a similar product.
BEFORE CLEANING, SHARPENING, SERVICING OR REMOVING
ANY PARTS, ALWAYS TURN SLICER OFF. Turn the slice thickness
dial clockwise to the “0” position until it stops, and unplug power
cord.
NEVER attempt to clean slicer with the blade running.
NEVER attempt to remove the blade or blade guard from the slicer.
They must remain on the slicer for proper operation, sharpening and
cleaning.
13
Clean the blade (3) on both faces
as indicated in the drawings.
WARNING: The slicer blade is very sharp. Exercise extreme caution
when working near the blade.
It is recommended to use the proper anti-cut gloves to avoid
danger of cutting.
– Disassemble the blade cover (4).
– Loosen the blade cover release knob (9), unthread it and remove
the blade cover.
IMPORTANT! A micro switch interrupts electrical current supply
whenever the blade cover release knob (9) is removed.
Use a soft cloth moistened with a neutral detergent and wipe blade
from the center out.
Rinse with hot water and dry.
An important step to kill bacteria is to allow the parts to air-dry
before using.
DO NOT exceed chemical manufacturer’s recommended
concentrations for detergent or sanitizer. Do not exceed
200 parts per million concentration of available chlorine
(1 tablespoon of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite bleach with
1 gallon of water). The effect of the sanitizing solution varies
with its temperature and concentration.
NOTE: Failure to follow use, care and maintenance instructions
may void your warranty.
Use ONLY products formulated to be safe on stainless steel
or aluminum.
