FOOD SAFETY
There are basic rules to follow when handling food.
They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.
COOK
It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least 160oF to 165oF (71oC to 74oC), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a good chance you will get sick.
Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145oF (63oC) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 180oF (82oC) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 160oF (71oC). Eggs should be thoroughly cooked too. If you are making a meringue or other recipe that uses uncooked eggs, buy specially pasteurized eggs or use prepared meringue powder.
SEPARATE
Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.
When grilling or cooking raw meats or sh, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Don’t use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.
Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.
CLEAN
Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.
CHILL
Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40oF and 140oF (4oC and 6oC). Your refrigerator should be set to 40oF (4oC) or below; your freezer should be 0oF (-17oC) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chang dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90oF (32oC) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Before cleaning, assembling or disassembling the Meat
Slicer, make sure the Meat Slicer Motor is OFF and the PLUG IS REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET/POWER SOURCE!
KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM THE BLADE!
WARNING!
SHARP BLADE
Protective/cut-resistant Kevlar gloves are recommended
1. ALWAYS disconnect the appliance from the power source before cleaning.
2. Never immerse the Motor Assembly of this appliance in water or other liquid.
3. The Blade, Food Presser, and Food Tray can all be hand washed in hot soapy water. Because these parts come in contact with food, they should be sanitized by being dipped in a solution of 2 ounces (0.06 L) of unscented non-chlorine bleach mixed with 5 gallons (19 L) of water. Allow sanitized parts to air dry. Do not use harsh abrasives to clean any part of the Meat Slicer. Use extreme caution when
handling or cleaning the Blade, as it is extremely sharp! Do not leave Blade underwater; trying to handle sharp objects in water can be hazardous. It is highly recommended to wear cut-resistant Kevlar Gloves when removing, cleaning and re-installing the Blade.

8. To allow for easier cleaning, the Thickness Adjustment Knob can be turned past “0” to allow the Gauge Plate to slide back. NOTE: Use this feature only
with Blade removed. (After cleaning and before reassembly, reset the Thickness Adjustment Knob to “0”.)
9. After cleaning and drying, install the Blade and Blade Screw to the Motor Assembly in reverse order of step 6. Make sure the Blade Locking Screw is properly engaged and tightened. Rotate the Sliding Food Carriage back to its proper position and re­install the Food Presser.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and a 3-pole cord connector that accepts the plug from the appliance. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the appliance. DO NOT use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. DO NOT abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
