WHEN OPERATING THE SLICER.

USING YOUR FOOD SLICER
1. To slice meats thinly, meats should be boneless and not frozen solid.
2. Fruits should be free of seeds.
3. Foods with an uneven texture, like sh and thin steaks, are often
difcult to slice. Partially freeze before slicing.
4. This food slicer can be used to slice many different fruits and
vegetables.
HOT ROASTS: • Beef • Pork • Lamb • Turkey • Ham
When slicing warm boneless roasts, remove from oven and let sit
15 to 20 minutes before slicing. They will retain more natural juices
and slice evenly without crumbling. Cut the roast, if necessary, to t
on food tray. If roast is tied, turn off motor and remove strings one at
a time as they near the blade.

CLEANING & CARE
Extra-Thin Sliced Corned Beef or Fresh Beef Brisket
1. Chill cooked brisket over night in cooking liquid.
2. Before slicing, drain and reserve meat drippings from brisket.
3. Pat dry with paper towels. Remove excess fat.
4. Slice well-chilled brisket to desired thickness.
5. To serve hot, place slices on heatproof platter and moisten with
small amount of reserved meat drippings.
6. Heat in 300℉ oven for 30 minutes.
Cheese
1. Chill thoroughly before slicing.
2. Cover with plastic wrap to keep moist.
3. Before serving, allow cheese to reach room temperature, as
this enhances the natural avor.
Cold Cuts
1. Cold cuts keep longer and retain avor if sliced as needed.
2. For best results, chill rst.
3. Remove any plastic or hard casing before slicing. Use a constant,
gentle pressure for uniform slices.
4. Set the thickness adjusting knob to reect the desired thickness
of meat.

fruits including potatoes, carrots, cabbage (for slaw),
