Maintenance
Sharpening:
Sharpen the blade at least once a week or any time that cutting becomes difficult and/or
produces a large amount of waste. The slicer should be considered and treated as a knife: if it is
not adequately sharpened, the slicing results will be poor and the machine will be overloaded.
To Sharpen the Slicer:
1. Ensure the unit is turned off, the regulator knob is on “0” position and the blade
cover is in place. Ensure the blade is clean.
2. Lift the sharpener head and rotate it 180°; Push the sharpener down firmly so that
the angled wheel is pressed against the blade.
3. Turn the unit on and sharpen the blade for 30 seconds.
4. At the end of the 30 second sharpening cycle, push the de-burring stone button to
gently push the stone against the blade, approximately 2 seconds.
5. Turn the unit off and return the sharpener head to its’ original location.
6. Unplug and clean the unit to remove any residue. Follow cleaning instructions
above.
Lubrication:
Lubricate sliding bars at least once a month and any time that pushing the tray becomes difficult.
Use the oil supplied with the unit or food safe lubricant; do not use cooking oil.
1. Unplug the unit from power supply;
2. Clean and lubricate the regulator plate adjustment shaft
3. Carefully lay the unit on its side, clean and lubricate the internal slide bar
Repair:
There are no user serviceable parts within this slicer. To avoid serious injury or damage, never
attempt to repair or replace a damaged power cord or repair the slicer yourself. Contact a
qualified professional repair service.
