IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this slicer, please follow these basic safety precautions.
1. Please read all instructions before using.
2. Make sure your electricity supply matches the voltage shown on the appliance.
3. This slicer is for household use only. It is not suitable for commercial use, or for
use outdoors. It must only be used for its intended purpose.
4. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the worktop or table, where a
child could grab it.
5. Place the slicer on a sturdy, level surface, well away from hot gas or electric
burners and ovens.
6. The serrated blade is extremely sharp. It must be firmly locked into place before
slicing. When removing the blade for cleaning, hold it by the blade lock and handle
with great care.
7. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the slicer, power cord or plug
in water or any other liquid. Never allow the cord or plug to get wet.
8. Keep hands, hair, clothing and utensils well away from moving parts.
9. Always use the sliding food tray and the food pusher to protect your fingers from
the blade. Never guide food towards the blade with your bare hands. Take care
not to overload the motor by pushing too hard.
10. If food sticks to the blade, switch off and unplug the slicer before removing it.
11. Always switch off the slicer and unplug from the socket before adding or
removing parts, after use and before cleaning. Grasp the plug, not the cord.
12. Using attachments not supplied by the manufacturer may lead to electric shock,
fire or injury.
