General Installation And Operation
Instructions:
The Avantco Auto/Manual slicer is a medium duty electrically driven appliance. The unit has been designed to meet the
highest safety and hygiene standards. The robust aluminum construction and powerful drive motors ensure long and
reliable operation and use. These units are suitable for slicing frozen meats.
1. Place the unit in the desired location with the on/off switch facing the operator. DO NOT plug the unit in at this point.
The supporting table should be stable and at the correct working height. The work surface should be in a dry location
and preferably away from heavy traffic areas.
2. Clean the unit with a DAMP cloth using a neutral P.H. dish detergent. Wipe and dry the machine. (See Cleaning in-
structions on page 3 of this manual.
3. Set the thickness of slice required using the control knob adjacent to the on/off switch.
4. The meat support platform should be in the start position that is close to the operator. Lift up the food pusher; place
the meat to be sliced on the support platform against the raw edge. Return the food pusher to its original position
now on top of the meat to be sliced.
5. The unit can be operated in either MANUAL or AUTO feed modes.
5.1 MANUAL MODE
Ensure the control lever H in diagram 1 is position A. This handle disengages
auto feed function.
Switch on the blade motor only and using the handle on the food pusher, push
the carriage back and forth to
begin cutting the food.
5.1 AUTO FEED MODE
Ensure the control lever H in diagram 1 is in position B. This handle engages
the auto feed function.
Switch on the blade motor first and then the auto feed motor. The unit will now
automatically cut the meat oaded.
6. After you are finished cutting, turn off machine and collect the product slices in the exit area.

Checking the Gear Box Oil Gauge
Check the glass window [A] to ensure oil levels are properly
maintained. When oil levels drop below the indication line, more oil
will need to be added using the oil dispenser provided. The dispenser
nozzle must be inserted into the port [B].
There is also an additional port [B] on the side of the unit to lubricate
the side shafts. This ports needs to be filled when the stroke is moving.
Generally this port needs to be filled once a week with only two pushes of
the dispenser.
Note: Anew machine needs to run for 20 minutes before the oil gauge
begins showing oil
