HOW TO USE

The 2 suction cups underneath the appliance will help secure the Slicer to the
surface.
3. Position the Food Platform onto the front edge of the Folding Table by tilting it
slightly so that the tab underneath the Food Platform hooks onto the front
edge of the table. Then lower the Platform onto the table making sure that the
glide slot fits into the groove in the top of the Table.
4. Pull the Food Platform toward you and place food on Platform. Slide Food
Pusher over edge of Platform. Cut food to smaller size if Pusher does not fit
properly.

6. Unwind cord to the desired length, run it through the Exit slots and plug it into
a 120 Volt AC outlet.
7. Position the Tray at the back of the Slicer to receive sliced food.
8. Grasp Food Pusher with right hand. Hold down the Safety Switch with your
left middle finger and at the same time press the On/Off Switch with your left
thumb. Slide Food Platform toward Blade while applying gentle but steady
pressure with the Pusher. Repeat for additional slices.
9. Release the On/Off Switch to stop the Blade from turning.
NOTE: The safety system will allow the Slicer to operate only if the Safety
Switch is first depressed and held before depressing the On/Off Switch.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be of the grounding-type 3-wire cord. The extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top,
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
