Page 8: Hints For Best Results
Hints for Best Results • To slice meats and cheese wafer thin, chill thoroughly before slicing. For best results advance the food carriage slowly while using steady pressure. • Meats should be boneless, fruits should be free of seeds. • Foods with an uneven texture, like fish and uncooked steaks are often difficult to slice. Partially freeze before slicing for more even cuts. • At canning time, use the slicer to quickly slice cucumbers and onions for attractive pickles… apples for pies… vegetables for the freezer. • For food dehydrators: You can produce either thick or thin slices for uniform dehydrating. • Handy for slicing homemade or bakery bread: a great companion for your bread machine. Use extreme caution at all times to avoid contacting the edge of the blade. Cleaning and Maintenance Note: Before cleaning, removing the blade or undertaking other maintenance always unplug the cord from the outlet. - Page 9 Removing and Cleaning the Blade Caution: Extreme care must be used when removing, cleaning or handling the blade to avoid personal injury. Following extensive use you will want to clean the entire surface of the blade. Small bits of food may in time collect behind the blade and behind the blade guard.
- Page 10 Professional Slicer as delivered includes a ® detachable sharpener (11) with the Models 663 and 672. These sharpeners have been designed so as to minimize (but not eliminate) the dangers that always exist when working near an exposed blade edge.

With one hand on the thickness control knob, and other hand away from the blade, slowly turn the Thickness Control Knob counterclockwise until the abrasive stone touches the front edge of the blade. Again you will be able to hear a slight noise when contact is made. Maintain a light contact for only 4-6 seconds to remove the burr, which was created along the edge in Step 9.
