Hot Roasts, Beef, Pork, Lamb
1. When slicing boneless roasts, remove from the oven and allow to
cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing so the meat will retain its natural
juices and slice without crumbling.

become closer to the blade (ensure the motor is off).
Cheeses
1. To avoid cheese from sticking, turn the Slicer off and moisten the
Blade with warm water and a damp cloth.
