prior to this examination •. - .
2. Carefully check all slicer components such as the product
table, pusher, sharpener, slice _thickness index knob,
etc. , to make certain they move freely. and that there are
no obstructions. Lubricate the pusher· slide bar (on the
product·table) and the square and round table support
rails. (underside of slicer) with Berkel Food Machine Oil.

III. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Use the pusher located on the product table, not your
hand. The pusher will feed the product toward the knife
after each slice. If t,he product you're slicing is long,
place the pushe~ on top of· the product.
2. A handle is provided on the product table to move it
back and forth.
J. Thickness adjustment allows you to vary the thickness of
the slices from paper thin to 9/16". To make thinner
slices, turn ~he thickness control knob to the right.
For thick slices, turn the knob to the left.
4. After each use of the slicer, turn the thickness control
knob full right. This places the gauge plate in the
closed position and covers the knife edge.
IV SHARPENING

knife is dull. DO NOT sharpen a knife that is not clean.
You will damage the sharpening stones and be unable to
sharpen the knife.

VI CLEANING THE SHARPENING STONES
DIRTY STONES CANNOT SHARPEN! If the sharpening stones have
become coated with food fats because someone has neglected
to clean the knife blade before sharpening, they will not
sharpen effectively.
At least once each day when the slicer is used, the sharpening
stones should be examined for cleanliness. If dirty, greasy
or if there is a metallic build-up on the ~harpening surface,
clean as follows:
A. FATTY BUILD-UP
If there is evidence of fatty build-up in the stones,.
they must be cleaned. Otherwise, they will not have the
abrasive quality necessary to sharpen.
1. Remove the stones from the shafts.
. 2 ~ . Soak the.. stonE:!s in a solution of household ammonia
and· water.· for 10 minute_s.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Shake excess water out and pat partially dry with
paper toweling or a clean cloth towel. Set aside
to air dry.
5. once the stones are dry, oil both stones and shafts
with Berke! food machine oil.
6. Reassemble.
(.4)
(
(

B. METALLIC BUILD-UP
··:•I
• • •I
. -:.:
After repeated sharpenings - even with a clean knife blade -
you may get a metallic build-up on the face of the stones.
This is caused by tiny particles of metal tilling the spaces
between the stone grits. This appears as a dark, shi~y
coating on the grinding surface of the stones.
To remove this metallic build~up, we recouunend that the stones
be scrubbed a stone cleaning tool part# 4975-09237, dipped
in a solution of water and household ammonia. Rinse, dry and
oil as previously described.
In heavy duty use, we recommend that a spare set of stones be
kept available for thorough cleaning procedures, and in case
.of breakage, so you will not lose your sharpening
capabilities.
VII CLEANING AND SANITIZING (DISASSEMBLY}
1.
Turn the thickness control knob all the way to the right
to close the gauge plate.
2. Turn switch to OFF and unplug the power cord •
.
3.. Remove .. the product table locking knob.
·4 • Remove the product table.
5. The pushex:: can slide or rotate, so REEP THE PRODUCT TABLE
LEVEL.··
6. Remove the slice deflector which is attached to the main
slicer body.
