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.
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 loca-
tion 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
instructions 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.
6. After you are finished cutting, turn off machine and collect the product slices in the exit area.

Blade Sharpening
1. This operation should be undertaken if the cutting blade becomes dull. It should be noted that the blade is made
from hardened material and under normal use should only need sharpening once a year.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Ensure that the slice thickness knob is in the ‘0’ position.
4. CAREFULLY clean the part of the blade to be sharpened.
5. Unlock the sharpening device using the safety locking screw. Lift up the sharpening assembly and rotate it 180° so
that both grinding wheels are in the correct position. Lower the sharpening device and lock in position.
6. Plug in the machine and switch on.
7. Using the button at the rear of the sharpening unit, push the stone against the rotating blade for approximately
30 seconds.
8. After sharpening, it is important to remove the grinding wheel from the blade by letting go of the push button on the
front of the sharpening device. Run the slicer for 2-3 seconds after letting go of this button.
9. Return the sharpening device to its original position by unlocking the safety screw and rotating by 180°.
