Troubleshooting
If meat gets jammed in blades, turn the motor to the "OFF" position and disconnect from the
power source. Lift stainless steel shield, clear the jam using steel tongs.
If meat is not cutting through cleanly, check to make sure that the knives on both sides are
aligned so the blades are overlapping and make contact with the blades on the other rack.
Meat with excessive cartilage or gristle may not slice cleanly.
