2 About this machine
2.1 Intended use
Bizerba slicers are technical equipment exclusively intended for commercial use.
They may only be operated by instructed personnel over the age of 14. [}6]
As regards manual slicers GSPH, GSPH W, GSPHFlex, the carriage is moved forwards
and backwards by hand for slicing.
In the event of automatic gravity feed slicers GSPHD, GSPHD W the carriage is driven by a
motor for slicing. In addition, the stroke width can be adjusted to the size of the product and
the number of carriage strokes can be changed as well.
Manual slicing with the GSPHD, GSPHD W is possible. The servo-motor support comes au-
tomatically into action during the manual carriage movement. [}46]
Permitted product
Approved sliced products, taking sizes into consideration
– All kinds of cold cuts, deli meat
– Ham, bacon
– Smoked ham with / without rind
– Roast meats, roast beef
– Meat, roulades
– Sliceable cheese
– Fruit, vegetables
– Bread
Note: If cheese is the main product being sliced, we recommend using a special cheese
blade.
Slicing of other materials requires prior written approval by Bizerba product management.
Non-permitted product
The following may not be sliced due to risk of injury and damage:
– NON-FOOD articles
– Bone-in products
– Frozen products
Applications
The slicing machines are intended for installation in the sales area. The use in the prepara-
tion area is permitted taking into account cleaning procedures and protection class.
Permissible ambient temperatures from -10°C to 40°C (+14 to +104 degF).
Operating time
The slicers are designed for permanent operation.

2.2 Machine description
Designations or versions
GSP H = Manual gravity feed slicer
GSP H W = Manual gravity feed slicer with portion scale
GSP H Flex = Combination of metrologically approved PC scale and manual gravity feed
slicer
GSP HD = Automatic gravity feed slicer
GSP HD W = Automatic gravity feed slicer with portion scale
Drive
The blade of this gravity feed slicer is operated electrically. The low-noise, low-maintenance
drive is effected via an AC motor.
The blade drive can be switched on/off via the membrane keyboard. [}30] to [}33]
Keys green = <I>, red = <O> have a signal lamp for activation control (GSP H, GSP HD). For
the red key a reduced operating force is needed reacting at a slight touch.
Further function keys are integrated in the membrane keyboard, e.g. number of carriage
strokes and stroke width for motor-driven carriage (GSP HD, GSP HD W).
The contactor control with self-locking circuit prevents automatic restarting after a power cut.
Carriage
Since the carriage with product and product holder are at an angle the product is fed towards
the blade by means of the product's own weight.
A carriage inclination between 0° or 18° with a low depositing height and 25° with low or high
depositing height (GSPH, GSPHC) can be chosen.
Also a carriage inclination between 18° with a low depositing height and 25° with low or high
depositing height (GSP HD, GSP HDC) may be selected.
The carriage is optionally available as one part made of anodized aluminum with Ceraclean
finish (GSPHC).
The one-piece carriage has an inclination of 25°.
For better gliding of the product, parts which are in contact with the product to be sliced are
provided with grooves.
A slice thickness setting below "0" unlocks the tilting lock of the carriage. This allows the car-
riage to be tilted to the outside in any position.
Scale
The slicers GSP H W, GSP HD W are fitted with a scale which is not metrologically ap-
proved. The portion scale is not metrologically approved and cannot be used for legal for
trade applications.
Slicer GSP H Flex with connected metrologically approved scale allows sliced product to be
weighed at the same time.
Materials
The complete machine housing as well as the gauge plate, blade cover and carriage, are
made of anodized aluminum. Optionally the surface can have a Ceraclean finish (GSPHC,
GSPHDC).

About this machine Instruction manual GSP
10 / 92 38107010002 en-US
Carriage rear wall, pusher guard and remnant holder plate are made of break-proof and food-
grade plastic. A one-piece carriage in anodized aluminum with Ceraclean finish is optionally
available.
All components getting in direct contact with food and materials used in the working area
comply with the food hygiene regulations. Bearings in visual range are lubricated with food-
grade lubricants.
Vibration
The total vibration of the items, which get into contact with hand and arm is below 2.5m/s2
and therefore below the required limited value.
Work place-related emission noise level value
GSP H: LpA = 55 dB (A)
GSP HD: LpA = 61 dB (A)
The value takes into consideration an instable measuring of 3 dB.
Operating time
The slicers are designed for continuous operation.

3.1 General notes on safety
DANGER
Damaged power supply cables or faulty protective devices!
danger to life due to electric current Acute risk of injury of operating
personnel.
– Damaged supply lines must be replaced immediately with new cables
and installed by a professional electrical company or by Bizerba Ser-
vice.
– The mains cable must be routed in a way that it is no cause of risk.
– Protective devices must be checked every day with regards to function
before start-up.
– Protective devices may not be removed, modified or bypassed.
DANGER
Open the electrical installation area!
danger to life due to electric current
– The electrical installation area may only be opened by Bizerba Ser-
vice.
– Pull power plug before moving the machine.
WARNING
Unauthorized persons!
Serious injuries to fingers and hands and damage to health.
– Only trained personnel over 14 years may operate, clean and maintain
the machine. [}6] Subsequent training to be repeated on a regular ba-
sis.
– Unauthorized persons, particularly children, may not stay in the work
area of the machine.
Medical information for persons with active implants
Active implants are, e.g. pacemakers or defibrillators. If a safety distance of 30cm is main-
tained between field source and implant, it might be very unlikely that active implants are af-
fected in any way.
Non-ionizing radiance is not generated intentionally, but is a technical effect caused through
electrical equipment: e.g. electric motors, high-voltage cables or magnetic coils. Furthermore,
the device is not equipped with strong permanent magnets.
