INSPECTION
All Univex slicers are inspected and tested at the factory; however, they should be reinspected
carefully by the person making the installation for loose, damaged or broken parts. Detached parts and
fixtures should be checked against packing list to determine all are present. Any damages should be
reported to the carrier immediately, and any shortage of parts or fixtures reported to Univex
Corporation.
Warning: After slicer has been inspected, wash slicer completely with warm water and mild soap.
For SAFETY, follow the cleaning instructions on Page 6.
INSTALLATION
The most efficient installation of your Univex slicer will depend upon the layout of your kitchen.
Locate your slicer where it will save steps for the operator and be sure to provide sufficient clearance
around it for ease of maintenance and cleaning, as well as for efficient and safe use.
Slicer should be operated on a sturdy bench or table with the height determined to suit the operator. It
is most important that the forearm of the operator be at the proper level for ease and safety of
operat ion, as well as for maximum production. This height is considered optimum when the carriage
handle (Figure 1 [9]) of the slicer is at approximately the height of the operator's elbow when standing.
Warning/Caution: Electrical wiring instructions are found in the wiring diagram (Figures 9 & 10.)
Before making electrical connections, CHECK the specifications on the
nameplate to make sure that they agree with those on your electrical service. A
grounding type three-terminal plug is provided for safety. If you do not have a
mating receptacle, have a qualified electrician provide one with grounding
provisions in accordance with local safety codes.
Warning: The slicer knife is extremely sharp! Never touch the knife, always keep hands and fingers
clear of the knife. Never run slicer without the guard or other parts in place and securely
fastened. Take extra care to avoid accidents by keeping the knife guard and sharpening
assembly cover ON at all times. When the machine is not in use, the slice adjustment
knob should be turned fully back to the closed position (beyond "0") so that the knife edge
is not exposed.
Observe the cleaning instruction on Page 7 for best results and for safety. Also remember
to always turn off the slicer and disconnect the electrical supply cord. When slicing,
always work the carriage using only the carriage arm handle (Figure 1 [9]). Do not hold or
push the carriage from any other place.
