HOW TO USE
Helpful Hints
• Only slice boneless meats, do not attempt to slice extremely hard foods, or
fruits with seeds.
• Your slicer is perfect for consistent uniform slices of fruits, onions,
cucumbers, cheese, potatoes, or homemade breads.
• For best results always chill cheese or raw meats prior to slicing. It is best
to spray the blade with water or wipe with a damp sponge when slicing
soft cheese. If excess cheese builds up on the blade surface, wipe with a
damp cloth to avoid overheating the motor.
• Never attempt to slice fully frozen foods.
• Ensure that all wrapping materials is removed from food prior to slicing.
• When slicing meats that have just been cooked ensure that they rest for
at least 15 minutes prior to slicing. This will allow the natural juices to
redistribute throughout, making for a juicier, more avorful taste.

LACERATION. PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE.
