SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping
over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power supply
extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on the cord or the appliance.
2. To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found,
this indicates that the appliance should be serviced, and the power cord replaced. Please
contact Chefman® Customer Support for assistance.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the
cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF THE
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the slicer for the first time, please read all instructions and safety information.
1. Carefully remove slicer from box.
2. Carefully remove and discard plastic guards from blade and back support plate. Remove any
other plastic wrapping, shipping materials, and stickers.
3. The blade is shipped with a coating of mineral oil that will need to be washed off before first

TO OPERATE SLICER
Once you get the hang of it, using the deli slicer is easy. Please read all operating instructions
before you begin.
1. Set the slicer on a hard, flat surface free from any obstructions or heating elements, and plug in
power cord.
NOTE: The slicer is easiest to use when positioned with long side perpendicular to the counter
so that the short side with the power switch and thickness dial faces the user.
2. Slide the food carriage toward the dial side of the slicer and carefully swing food holder down
to make room for the food.
3. Place food to be sliced onto the food carriage so that the side you want sliced is against the
back support plate.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

6
4. Secure food in place by pressing the food holder into the side of the food side or by lowering
the food holder onto the top of the food.
CAUTION: Always use food holder when slicing to ensure your fingers stay away from the blade.
5. Turn the slicer on. This will cause the blade to turn.
6. Turn the dial to adjust the blade to your desired thickness.
7. While lightly pressing on the food with the food holder, slide the food carriage so that the food
contacts the blade. Continue sliding until the carriage can go no further. Make the next slice by
sliding the carriage back to its starting point.
NOTE: The slices will fall to the other side of the blade.
8. Continue sliding the food carriage back and forth at a moderate speed until slicing is done.
CAUTION: The slicer should only be run for 10 minutes at a time to avoid overheating the motor.
9. If you need more time, let the slicer cool before slicing again. When you are done, turn the
power switch to OFF and unplug the slicer. Be careful as the blade will not immediately come to
a stop.
10. Turn the dial back to thickness starting point.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

7
It’s necessary to clean the slicer at regular intervals as perishable food scraps can accumulate on the
slicer or behind the cutting blade.
1. Before starting to clean the slicer, switch it off and unplug it. This is very important as
inadvertently starting the blade while cleaning can lead to injury.
2. The blade and the entire food carriage are removeable, and both are dishwasher safe. Follow
the instructions and diagrams on page 8 to remove blade and food carriage. Handle both very
carefully as parts are sharp. The parts may also carefully washed by hand with soapy water, rinse,
and dried.
3. Wipe down the slicer’s housing with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning powders,
scouring pads or hard brushes.
4. Carefully reinstall the blade and food carriage by the slicer by following the directions on page 8.
5. Before running the slicer, make sure that the food carriage and blade have been reinstalled
correctly. If you hear any odd sounds when you turn the slicer on, immediately turn it off. Wait for
the blade to stop moving, and check that the blade is on properly.

HOW TO REMOVE SLICING BLADE
CAUTION: Be sure the slicer is turned off and
unplugged before removing or reassembling the blade.
To remove the slicing blade:
1. Turn the center locking mechanism clockwise to
unlock the blade. As you turn the mechanism, carefully
hold onto the blade to prevent it from falling as the
mechanism is loosened.
2. Carefully pull the blade off the unit. Do NOT hold
it by its edges.
To put slicing blade back on:
1. Holding blade by pinching the center locking mechanism, line up center extensions
on back side of blade with unit.
2. Once blade is on, carefully rotate the blade until it clicks into its secured position.
3. Turn center lock mechanism counterclockwise to lock the blade into place.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

HOW TO REMOVE FOOD CARRIAGE
The entire food carriage assembly can
be removed from the unit to enable easy
and thorough cleaning. Be careful when
handling it as the heavy food holder
moves and has sharp areas on it.
To remove food carriage:
1. Slide the black plastic carriage
rod release mechanism to the right.
This will free the carriage rod from
the unit.
2. Carefully slide the food carriage off
the carriage rod.
NOTE: The food carriage rod can also
be fully removed from the housing.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

10
• To ensure hands are kept away from blade while slicing, hold food mover handle with right
hand and place fingertips of left hand on the plastic guide behind handle and use both hands
to move food carriage.
• Put a piece of foil or parchment paper down along backside of slicer to catch food.
• Check the thickness of your first couple of slices, then adjust slicer as necessary.
• Do not slice frozen meat, meats with bones, or fruits or vegetables with hard pits, such as an
avocado.
• If using slicer to slice raw meat, clean it well before using to slice something else.
• Use cut-resistant safety gloves when handling blade.
• Keep the slicer unplugged when not in use.
• For safe storage after use, always return the slice thickness dial to the start position.
To put food carriage back on:
1. If necessary, slide the carriage rod release mechanism to the right to release the carriage
rod. Or, if rod was removed from slicer, reinsert rod into left side of unit, leaving right side free.
2. Carefully slide the food carriage assembly back on to the carriage rod. It’s a good idea to hold
the sliding food holder in place as you do so.
3. To reinsert rod on right side, move the carriage rod release mechanism to the right to make
room for the rod. Reinsert the rod, then let go of the mechanism so that it slides left to secure
the rod in place.
