SAFETY INFORMATION, RISKS AND RESIDUAL RISKS
1.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS, RISKS AND RESIDUAL RISKS
The slicer should be used by trained personnel only, who must be completely familiar with the safety
regulations contained in this manual. Should it be necessary to alternate operators, training should be
provided in good time.
Despite the EC professional slicers are equipped with devices in order to prevent electrical and
mechanical risks (both during operation and during cleaning and maintenance operations), there are
residual risks not be completely eliminated, which appear in this manual in the form of CAUTION.
They concern the risk of cuts, bruises and other caused by knife or other machine components.
Provide to operator accessories needed to protect the person: metal mesh safety gloves, gloves with high-
grip, gowns with elastic cuffs, caps to keep hair, safety shoes.
Even though the machine is well provided with safety devices, hands should not come near the blade or other
moving parts.
Do not use your hands to hold the product to be sliced. Always pushing the product holder with carriage
handle. Be especially careful when using the grip of the plates mod. "SMARTY IX&VX" because they have
sharp pins to hold the goods, which can cause skin damage. We recommend the use of metal mesh safety
gloves.
Avoid to wear clothes and accessories that can be caught by moving parts of the slicer (necklaces, bracelets,
ties, scarves, ear wire, scarves).
Do not let affection grippers or other accessories work.
Do not use the slicer for frozen products, meat or fish containing bones, or for anything except foodstuffs.
Do not use the machine for vegetable cutting, unless for some it is possible to use the standard holding and
pushing devices.
Always check that the run pilot lamp lights up when the machine is switched ON.
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the machine from the mains.
When cleaning or servicing the slicer (i.e. when the guards have been removed) keep in mind the residual
risks
Check the power cable periodically. A worn or damaged cable constitutes a serious electrical hazard. If the
cable is damaged it must be replaced by a special cable or assembly available from the TAS authorized by
Manconi
Switch off the slicer in case of unusual noise.
Place the slicer machine in a dry place, non-slippery, with good lighting, glare or flashing, no position on the
outside.
Do not attempt any repair by yourself, but always call in the MANCONI authorised TAS.
After each use, always turn off the slicer, always close the gauge plate, do not leave the slicing machine
with removable parts or disassembled parts in a position that could cause damage.

1.2 MECHANICAL SAFETY
As far as safety against mechanical risks are concerned, the slicer described in this manual complies with the
Directive EN 1974: 1998 + A1 “Food processing machinery – Slicing machines – Safety and hygiene
requirements” so is compliant with machine directive 2006/42/CE.
Safety has been achieved by means of:
a) A non-removable blade guard around the blade, to protect the area not used for the cutting.
b) A food carriage that can be removed only when the gauge plate knob is at the stroke end clockwise (i.e. on
a position to protect the cutting edge of the blade) and when the carriage is at the end of its stroke towards the
operator. These conditions are blocked mechanically by the food carriage removing.
c) Removable blade cover.
d) A set of finger-guards in transparent plastic material, mounted on the food carriage.
e) The last slice device may not be stopped in the upper position for 60 mm from the blade (applicable to CE
models only).
CAUTION!
In compliance with paragraph 1.7.2 “WARNING ABOUT RESIDUAL RISKS” of directive 98/37/EC
Annex I, we draw your attention to the fact that the blade safety guard does not completely eliminate
the risk of cuts in the sharpening area, although it drastically reduces the possibility and the extent of
injury.
1.3 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The protection against electrical risks conforms to Norm EN 60204 and so it complies with the requirements
of Directive 2006/95/EC.
The control circuit has been fitted with a relay that necessitates deliberate relighting of the slicer in the event
of accidental loss of current.
Given to the good insulation of the electrical circuit and the excellent rust-resistance materials employed, the
slicer can be installed and used even in damp premises. It is built to resist the washing conditions created by a
rain jet of water (protection IPX3).
Section 2

UNPACKING
3.1 CHECKS ON RECEPTION
When the package containing the slicer arrive, carry out a careful examination of the packaging to check that
it has not suffered serious damage during transport.
If an external examination shows signs of ill treatment, blows or fall, the Courier must be informed of this
damage and an accurate report of any damage to the machine itself must be written.
CAUTION!
Damaged packing does not necessarily mean that the machine has been damaged, since it will also have
been protected by high efficient shock-absorbent polyurethane foam.
3.2 DISPOSAL OF THE PACKAGING
The packing elements (carton, plastic strapping and polyurethane foam) are products that can be placed
together with solid urban rubbish and can therefore be disposed of without difficulty.
When the machine is installed in countries with special regulations, the packaging must be disposed of in
accordance with the regulations in force.
Section 4
INSTALLATION
4.1 POSITIONING THE MACHINE
The surface on which the slicer is to stand should allow for the measurements indicated in the overall
dimensions, and should therefore be sufficiently spacious, perfect flat, dry, smooth, stable and at a height of
about 80 cm. Reevaluate the height considering the height of the operator in charge to use the slicer.
If it is intended to clean the slicer with a jet of water, in addition to the characteristics already listed, the
surface should be slightly convex at its centre (roughly 3 mm) and have some form of run-off at the sides for
the collection and drainage of the water.
When positioning the slicer it is equally important to take into consideration the positions of the food carriage
as indicated in the overall dimensions.
4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (Ref. pic. 5-6-7-8)
The slicer should be connected to a regular EEC socket. Compare the available voltage and power with the
ones given on the identification label. If they do not match, do not connect the slicer and ask for the Manconi
TAS.

(7) Manconi code identification of the slicer
Before finally connecting the machine to the three-phase power, check the direction of blade rotation by
pressing the ON button (1) and stopping it immediately with the OFF button (2) (see pic. 5-6-7-8). The
direction of blade rotation must be counter clockwise when facing the machine from the blade cover side. If
the direction is incorrect call Manconi authorised TAS.
The three phase motors installed in the machine can operate either with a 380-400V or 220-230V three-phase
power supply. If not otherwise specified slicers are delivered for 308-400V.
For adaptation to a 220-230V three-phase network the Manconi authorised TAS shall be called in.

4.3 FUNCTIONAL CHECK (Ref .Pic. 5-6-7-8)
On the straight slicers, before proceeding with the checks, the food carriage included in the machine packing
must be installed (see Section 5).
The functions can be tested several times by the following procedure:
- Press the ON button (1) and the OFF button (2) and check that the white indicator light (3) goes on and off,
the motor starts and stops, the blade runs and stops.
- Check that the food carriage, the sliding plate and the last slice device slide smoothly
- Check the functioning and the adjustment of the gauge plate.
- Check that the food carriage can be removed with the graduated knob (4) at the stroke end clockwise only
and that, after removal, the knob remains blocked making impossible the gauge plate opening.
- Check the functioning of the sharpener. Section 5
HOW TO USE THE SLICER
WARNING!
The foodstuff should only be loaded onto the carriage with the slice control knob (4) at the stroke end
clockwise and the motor switched off. These conditions, apart for being essential safety rules, keep the
product to be sliced from knocking the cutting edge of the blade, which could be damaged.
All cutting operations should be performed by gripping the provided handles or knobs.
Cutting movement should be executed with a speed which is both constant and appropriate to the
hardness of the product to be sliced. This rule is useful because, in addition to give a slice with a good
appearance, it does not put undue strain either on the cutting edge of the blade or on the motor.
Sharpen the blade as soon as the sliced product begins to look ragged or roughened and when the
effort needed to cut increases. For the sharpening procedures, see paragraph 5.2.
5.1 LOADING THE FOODSTUFF AND CUTTING
5.1.1 GRAVITY SLICER “IX SMARTY” (Ref. Pic.8)
WARNING!
Before load the foodstuff on carriage plate (22), lock the last slice device (20) at the special plate fixed
onto the posterior side of the carriage. Be careful to the pins (21) cause them could be dangerous for
your skin.
- Place the foodstuff for slicing on the carriage (22), position it up against the surface facing the operator and
against the gauge plate (18).
- Block the position of the foodstuff with the last slice device (21) pressed over the product.
- Use the knob (4) to adjust the slice thickness.
- Start the machine with the ON switch (1).
- If the foodstuff is enough consistent to be kept against the gauge plate without any further pressure, grip the
handle (7) attached to the carriage support (10) and start the alternating slicing movement.
- On the contrary, if the foodstuff moves from its position against the gauge plate, grip the handle (19), keep
the foodstuff pressed against the gauge plate with a suitable pressure and start the alternating slicing
movement.
- When the weight or the reduced size of the foodstuff are no longer enough to give a good cut, due to the
loss of the gravity effect or to the lost pressure from top, use the front face of the last slice device (21) to
press the foodstuff against the gauge plate.
WARNING!

18
- At the end of the cutting operation, return the knob (4) at the stroke end clockwise
and switch off the machine with the OFF button (2).
