property loss and injury. All repairs should be done by authorized professionals only
• Ensure that the power supply you are using is adequate for continual usage and the voltage is
correct
• Do not use device when, after it has been sharpened numerous times or the diameter of the
blade has become 10mm thinner
*In the case of prolonged use of the food slicer or a motor block, the thermic safeguard in the mo-
tor is activated. The motor stops automatically; at this point the machine must be turned off. Check
that the warning light is turned off. Give the motor time to cool down before using again.
TO USE
1. Unwrap and place machine with the On/Off switch so that it is in front of the operator.
2. Regulate the thickness of the slice desired by turning the graduated knob.
3. Switch on to activate the blade.
4. Place the food to be sliced on the sliding carriage (pushing against the food holder arm) facing
the blade, making sure that the food is resting against the gauge plate.
5. After use, turn the graduated knob back to position “0”. The food grip should not be removed
unless the shape and size of the food does not allow its use.
Note: For best results, thaw out frozen meat for several hours before slicing.
*If the sharpener is not mounted, proceed as follows:
• Place the sharpener in its support
• Tighten the safety screw
• Block the knob
CLEANING
To maintain cleanliness and increase service life, the machine should be cleaned daily.
• Before cleaning or attempting to move food slicer, unplug from outlet
• Wipe the entire machine and all parts with a clean soft cloth using ordinary neutral detergents.
Use soft cloths for drying.
• When the sliding food tray moves with difficulty, lift the food slicer and place on its side.
• Carefully clean the cylindrical sliding bar and lubricate with Vaseline oil.
• Remove knife guard periodically, unscrewing the screw (in the center of the knife guard) then
clean both the blade and the inside of the knife guard with alcohol

NOTE - If the blade transmission belt slips, the correct tension can be achieved (This can be seen
when the rotation of the cutting blade can be stopped while cutting). Please see the following:
1. Approach the regulating components on the bottom.
2. Loosen the bolt on the tension belt screws then turn the screws in a clockwise direction to
achieve correct tension of the belt.
3. Tighten the bolt on the screws.
BLADE SHARPENING
Note - The blade is highly resistant, normally needing to be sharpened about once a year when used
regularly. Should the blade become blunt or dull, please see the following:
1. Unplug the unit.
2. Check that the gauge plate is closed (graduated knob in position “0”).
3. Carefully clean the part of the blade sharpened.
4. Reinsert the plug.
5. Loosen the locking knob on the sharpener group.
6. Raise the sharpener, turning it by 140 degrees so that both grinding wheels are in working
position.
7. Lower the sharpener group until it locks. During this procedure, press button to bring the
sharpening wheel into contact with the cutting edge of the blade.
8. Secure the group by turning the locking knob.
9. Set the gauge plate by turning the graduated knob to no. 2.
10. Switch on, letting the blade turn for 1-2 minutes. When the blade is still, check to see if any burr
has formed on the edge.
11. After having verified the presence of burr, switch on and gently press button for about 3 sec-
onds to remove the burr produced during sharpening in (in this last phase both grinding wheels
should be working).
12. Turn the graduated knob back to position “0”.
13. After sharpening, move the sharpener back to its original position, clean the edge of the blade
and the grinding wheels with alcohol.
14. After several sharpening operations, the grinding wheels should be cleaned with a brush to
remove traces of alcohol.
