Cleaning
To keep your Food Slicer operating properly, clean after each use.
1. Always unplug the appliance and let the Blade come to a complete
stop before cleaning.
2. Adjust the Thickness Adjustment Knob to the minimum thickness set-
ting before cleaning.
3. Remove the Food Press, Feeder, and Food Tray and wash in warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Remove the Blade by inserting a coin in the slot of the Blade-locking
Knob and turning clockwise. Remove the Blade-locking Knob. With
one hand on the back side of the Blade, gently push the Blade for-
ward and at the same time, grip the hole in the center of the Blade
from the front and lift off. The Blade is very sharp, use extreme care
when handling. DO NOT touch sharp edges
5. Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth making sure to thoroughly clean
under the metal lip extending from the Control Panel. Dry completely
with a soft cloth. Keep the Control Panel and Electronic Scale dry. DO
NOT use harsh or abrasive cleansers or sharp metal objects to
remove food as these could damage the coating on the exterior
surface.
6. Wash the Blade in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do
not allow the Blade to soak in water. Trying to locate the Blade under
water is potentially dangerous.
7. We suggest that you wash, rinse, dry and reinstall the Blade immedi-
ately. Reinstall the Blade in reverse order of Step 4. Make sure the
Blade-locking Knob is properly engaged and tightened. Replace the
Feeder, Food Press and Food Tray. Slide the Feeder in front of the
Blade and move the Feeder Locking Switch to the locked position.
8. Do not remove the White lubricant on the gears and Motor Assembly.
The lubricant is used to reduce the friction and noise of the gears.
Removal of the lubricant will reduce the cutting performance and
increase the operating noise. If the lubricant has been removed, a thin
film of margarine or food-grade lubricant may be applied. Never apply
industrial-use or automotive-use lubricants as they may not be safe for
consumption and may damage the gears.
9. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning
must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
