ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Use a properly grounded three-prong outlet to reduce the hazard of electrical
shock.
The slicer should be placed close enough to the electrical power supply sothat
an extension cord will not be needed. It is designed to be used on 115 Volt,
A.C., 60 Hz power source, as indicated on the Data Plate affixed to the back of
the unit. Be sure that the voltage is the same before plugging the slicer into the
outlet. Tooperate the unit on other voltages, the slicer must be returned to the
factory for modification.
All electrical connections must be made in compliance with all applicable local
electrical codes, as well as the latest edition of the National Electrical Code
(NFPA70).
11

unplug the slicer,
Clean the slicer after each operation, as described in the Cleaning
Section.
