HINTS AND TIPS FOR USING YOUR SLICER
1. Roasts: Beef, Pork, Poultry, and Lamb
When slicing warm boneless roasts, remove from oven and let set
15-20 minutes before slicing. The meat will retain more natural juices
and slice evenly without crumbling.
2. Bulk Bacon:
Chill thoroughly before slicing. Some types of bacon should have the
rind removed; chill well and remove with a sharp knife. You can use
the rind as a "flavor dividend" for seasoning beans or soups. Trim
bacon to fit securely on the food tray, fatty side down. Slice to
desired thickness – about 1/8" cooks nicely.
3. Cheese and Cold Cuts:
Slice as needed to retain flavor. Remove the plastic or hard casing
from the well-chilled food before slicing. Use constant, gentle
pressure for uniform slices.
4. Very Thin Cheese:
Use caution when you are slicing very thin food. It is best to unplug
the unit and moisten the Blade with a damp cloth. This will help
prevent the food from sticking to the Blade. If cheese builds up on
the Blade or under the Blade Nut, unplug Slicer, and wipe blade
clean with a damp cloth.
5. Very Thin Corned Beef or Fresh Beef Brisket:
Chill cooked brisket overnight in cooking liquid. Before slicing, drain
brisket from liquid and pat dry with paper towels. Remove excess fat.
6. Large Foods:
When slicing food that is not uniform in size, always slice with the
largest side first.
7. Vegetables:
It is very easy to slice potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, carrots,
cucumbers, cabbage (for slaw), eggplant, and squash in minutes. Just
set thickness setting and slice. Potatoes may be sliced thick or thin for
chips.

9. To use the Cutting Board, remove from storage slot on the bottom left
side of the unit.
NOTE: Use Caution when slicing, always slice food with the Feeder and
Press Plate.
CAUTION: To avoid overloading the Slicer or damaging the Blade, do
not use the Slicer to cut frozen foods or bones. We also do not
recommend slicing jelly-like or wet foods. The excessive juice may spread
into the electrical components of the motor assembly. Allow juicy meats
to chill and then slice.

6. After cleaning, install the Blade and Blade-Locking Nut on main unit
in reverse order of Step 3. Make sure the Blade-Locking Knob is
properly engaged. Remember to turn the Thickness Adjustment Knob
to setting ‘O’.
CAUTION: Do not disassemble Slicer, other than stated in the above
cleaning instructions.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLICER (CONTINUED)
CAUTION: Blade is sharp. Handle carefully. Do not wash blade in
dishwasher. Do not immerse main unit in water. Do not remove lubricant
from the gears.
1. Always unplug the appliance and let the Blade come to a complete
stop before cleaning.
2. Adjust the Thickness Knob to setting ‘O’
before cleaning.
3. To clean the Blade, hold the Blade by
one hand and use a coin to unlock the
Blade-Locking Nut by turning it
clock-wise (Fig 5). Remove the Blade by
gripping the hole portion of the Blade.
4. The Blade, Food Press Plate, Feeder, and
Food Tray should be hand washed and
dried immediately. Use caution when cleaning the Blade, it is
extremely sharp. Do not touch the sharp edge.
The Blade should not be left to soak in water. Wash, rinse, and dry Blade
immediately. Install Blade in main unit after it has dried.
NOTE: The white lubricant on the gears of the Blade and Motor assembly
is used to reduce the friction and noise of the gears. It should not be
removed. If removed, the life of the gears and cutting performance will
be limited and the noise will increase. In case of total removal of
lubricant, food grade lubricant may be applied. Never apply industrial-use
or automobile use lubricant to the gears.
5. Clean the outer surface of the main unit with a damp cloth. It is
recommended to clean the main unit with the Blade removed. Never
immerse the main unit in water.
