For Your Safety - Chef's Choice 663 Manual

For Your Safety

• You will note that the slicer is
equipped with a plexiglass guard
(16) on the food carriage (8).
It is very important that it not
be removed.
• To minimize accidental contact with
the blade when the slicer is not
in use or when lifting the slicer,
always turn the thickness control
knob (1) fully clockwise so that the
thickness control plate (7) covers
the edge of the blade.
• Slice only foods for which this slicer
is designed. Do not attempt to slice
frozen food, or materials such as
bones, plastic, cardboard, etc.
• When lifting the slicer, position the body and hands as shown in Figure 4, to more uniformly
distribute the weight of the slicer and to avoid contact with the blade or with lubricated parts.
If the slicer is too heavy for you, ask someone to help.
Preparing to Slice
Caution: Avoid personal contact with the blade edge. Serious injury can result.
1. Before using the slicer for the first time, we recommend that you clean it thoroughly (see page 9).
2. Place assembled slicer on a sturdy, clean and dry surface. Position slicer so food carriage (8)
is to your right and thickness control knob (1) is in front of you. Be sure the blade guard (5) is
correctly mounted. Thickness control knob should be in the fully clockwise
(beyond the "zero") position.
3. Place the food on the carriage insuring that it is placed firmly against the back wall of the carriage
(8). Hold the food in place with the food pusher (9). For extra large foods, such as briskets or slab
bacon, their length may have to be reduced to fit on the carriage, as food should not touch the blade
before starting to slice.
Figure 4. Use two hands to lift as shown.
