When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
You have the finest and easiest-to-use product for slicing meat, cheese, bread, vegetables and fruits. You can be assured that this food slicer will perform superbly and be a joy to own.
The Model 609 slicer incorporates EdgeCraft's Advanced Power-Cooling® to keep its power-train cool and ensure that you can slice all of your favorite meat, cheeses and breads continuously without interruption.
For your safety, the food carriage (4) contains a thumb guard plate (4a) that can be moved in front of the blade's cutting edge and locked in place when the slicer is not in use. This protects you and children from inadvertent contact with the blade edge.
Using the thickness control knob (7) (Fig. 2), set the slice thickness to 0. Slide the carriage (4) forward to the right end stop (Fig. 1) so that the carriage thumb protector (4a) covers the blade edge.
The carriage can then be locked in place by sliding the control button (10) to the right into the "Lock" position. Always secure the carriage in the "Lock" position whenever it is not in use or when the slicer is being moved or stored. To release the carriage for normal slicing, slide the button to the middle "Slice" position. To remove the carriage from the slicer, slide the control button all the way to the left (Fig. 1) to the "Remove" position.
Unplug the slicer cord from outlet
Slicer parts in contact with food can be removed for thorough cleaning. Wash with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild soap or spray cleaner. Rinse and dry.

To reattach the thickness guide plate, insert the two steel rods into the holes provided on the carriage track. Make sure the thickness control knob is aligned with the "PLATE RELEASE" position. Now push the guide plate fully into its position and turn the knob counterclockwise to the "0" position.

This can be removed for cleaning. always first remove the slicer blade and thickness control plate as shown in Figures 8 and 9. Grasp the blade deflector with thumb and forefinger and pull it out. It should snap out easily. always reinstall before installing the blade or thickness control plate.
Notice: This Chef'sChoice® Electric Food Slicer has been equipped with a protective fuse to prevent the motor from overheating. In the unlikely event that the fuse fails, a spare fuse has been supplied with your slicer. To remove the old fuse, make certain that the Power Switch is in OFF position, that the power cord has been unplugged, that the thickness plate is in the "0" position and the food carriage is locked in place. Turn the slicer over with the motor cover resting on the table as shown (Fig. 10). The fuse holder will be accessible. Unscrew the fuse holder, pull out the old fuse and replace it with an approved new one. Reinsert the holder with the new fuse into its proper location, press and rotate to lock. Satisfactory replacement fuses are available from Hollyland 51S, Schurter FST or Bussman GDCS505. All are Slo-Blo type, rated at 1.25A and 250V.
