Operating Instructions; Sharpening Instructions - Univex 4509 Operator's Manual

Observe the cleaning instruction on Page 8 for best results and for safety. Also remember to
always turn off the slicer and disconnect the electrical supply cord before cleaning.
When slicing, always work the carriage using only the carriage arm handle (Figure 1 [8]). Do not
hold or push the carriage from any other place.
The Univex slicer is designed to meet the cook's demand for an efficient, sturdy slicer. The
Univex slicer will give unfailing performance over a period of years, when operated and
maintained according to instructions contained herein.
START/STOP SWITCH
The slicer is started by moving the ON/OFF toggle switch (Figure 1 [10]).
SLICE ADJUSTMENT
Warning: Dial type knob adjustment (Figure 1 [9]) allows for slice thickness ranging from
paper thin up to .5". Dial graduations allow you to precisely set up specific slice
thickness for various needs. When not in use, always return knob back to its fully
closed position (beyond "0") so that the knife edge is not exposed.
PRODUCT CARRIAGE
Caution: A last slice gravity feed grip (Figure 1 [6]) is provided to hold the product in place as it
is being sliced. Do not use this last slice device to work the carriage back and forth.
Use only the carriage arm handle (Figure 1 [8]). Always make sure the carriage is
positively secured to the slicer by checking to see that the carriage arm knob (Figure 1
[7]) is fully tightened.
PROTECTIVE GUARD
Warning: The protective guard (Figure 1 [4]) covers the knife edge completely except at the
forward edge where slicing will be performed. This forward edge is covered by the
edge of the fence, but only when the slice adjustment is completely closed. The knife
guard (Figure 1 [3]) can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the knife guard knob.
For safety, keep the knife guard on at all times except when cleaning. Never operate
the slicer with the knife guard removed.
This slicer is equipped with a knife having a concave or hollowed surface for superior slicing, of
course, any knife, however superior, must be sharpened regularly and properly in order to
produce the highest quality slices, but also to allow it to maintain its productivity. The knife sharpener
for this machine is a top mounted design. Since the sharpener is not exposed during the slicing
operation, the stones remain free of food contamination and in the best possible condition for
sharpening.
