OPERATION

Note: Check the tension of the blades prior to each use to
ensure they are tight.

or other produce onto the slide board between the pusher
plates and the blades.

WARNING: THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP.
PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING

2. Withdraw your hand. With one quick and seamless motion,

in your hand or a container.

the procedure as desired.

email at [e-mail].

DO NOT send unit to WINCO without first contacting our customer service department.

CLEANING

Should you wash the Tomato Slicer in hot water, make sure to always rinse in warm or cold water
thereafter. Hot water may cause the slide board to expand, creating difficulty in pushing the pusher
assembly until the slide board returns to room temperature.

Minimize the use of alkaline cleansers as they may cause pitting and dulling of the cast aluminum body
finish.

1. To remove the pusher assembly for cleaning, remove the
thumb screws and the slide stop. Then pull the pusher
assembly o the end of the slide board.

Note: To fully disassemble for parts replacement or
service, remove the acorn hex nuts and carefully remove
the pusher plates and spacers.

Remove the other screws to disassemble the handle part
from the guide plate.

2. The blade shield and blade assembly can be removed by
removing the hex bolts and washers.

Tip: Loosen all hex nuts from hand blade shield before
attempting to fully remove.

3. The slide board can be removed by removing the mounting
screws underneath the tomoto slicer.

4. Clean parts and reassemble.

Note: Hand washing unit is recommended as washing
in a commercial dishwasher will cause the all aluminum
parts to darken over time, this is normal, and does not
effect the general operation of the unit.

Note: Blade assembly must be re-tensioned following
reassembly.

5

BLADE TENSIONING

Tension on the blades must be restored following each disassembly for cleaning or replacement of the
blade assembly.

WARNING: THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP.
PLEASE USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING

Note: The blade assembly can be installed only one way
with the longer offset facing up.

1. Be sure blade holder is rmly mounted on the Tomato
Slicer blase and the sharp side of the blades is facing
toward the pusher assembly.

2. Attach hex screws and washers and tighen evenly.

3. To check the blade tightness, wear a thick protective glove
and pluck or strum the back (unsharpened) side of the
blades until the blades “hum”. Gradually tighten the top
and bottom hex screws until the top and bottom blades
sound about the same when plucked or strummed.
