TO INSURE BOTH SAFE AND TROUBLE-FREE PERFORMANCE, WE STRESS THAT ALL PERSONNEL THAT WILL BE INVOLVED WITH YOUR NEW UNIVEX SLICER MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS SLICER..........WE APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION AND YOUR BUSINESS.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSPECTION All Univex slicers are inspected and tested at the factory; however, they should be inspected carefully by the person making the installation for loose, damaged or broken parts. Detached parts and fixtures should be checked against the packing list to determine all are present. Any damages, imperfections or shortages should be reported to the dealer or to Univex and the shipping carrier.
(Figure 1 [3]). Do not hold or push the carriage from any other place. CONTROLS OVERVIEW This Univex slicer is designed to meet the cook’s demand for an efficient, sturdy slicer. This Univex slicer will give unfailing performance over a period of years, when operated and maintained according to the instructions contained in this manual.
CONTROL PANEL Counting Device: When using the slicer in the automatic mode, you can choose to use the slice counting device. To turn this feature on, press the on/off button (Figure 4 [2]). To set the desired number of slices to be cut, press the “+”...
MANUAL MODE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. With the slicer OFF, pull the carriage toward you until it stops at the full returned position and place the food product on the carriage. Slice only boneless, unfrozen product with this slicer. Use the last slice device (Figure 1 [12]) to hold the product in place during slicing. If the last slice device is not needed, it can be stored out of the way by swinging it back behind the carriage and locking it on the retaining pin.
AUTOMATIC MODE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Warning: Before beginning to use the slicer in the automatic mode, make sure the operating mode switch (Figure 3 [2]) is in the neutral (center) position. Caution: Never put your hands or any body parts near the carriage when the slicer is operating. Keep your hands and arms away from all moving parts.

AUTOMATIC MODE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED Warning: Never attempt to adjust, load or unload the carriage while the slicer is in automatic operation! Warning: If the product needs to be adjusted during automatic slicing, always press the “set off” button (Figure 4 [4]). Turn the operating mode switch (Figure 3 [2]) to the neutral (center) position.
SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS This slicer is equipped with a knife having a concave or hollowed surface for superior slicing quality. Of course, any knife, however superior, must be sharpened regularly and properly in order to produce not only the highest quality slices, but also to allow it to maintain its productivity. The knife sharpener (Figure 13) on this machine is a fence mounted design.

6. Turn the slicer ON. Rotate the sharpener wheel (Figure 7 [5]) downward to position “1” (Figure 7 [4]) and hold. This will start the grinding stone rotating. Run the slicer until the beveled cutting surface on the back side of the blade cleans up. This can take from 15 to 30 seconds depending on how dull the blade was allowed to become.
OPERATORS CARE OF SLICER CLEANING 1. Warning: Never touch the knife edge. Always keep your hands, fingers and arms clear of the knife. 2. Warning: Turn the slicer OFF and disconnect the power supply cord. 3. Turn the slice adjustment knob (Figure 3 [1]) to the fully closed position (beyond “0”) so the knife edge is not exposed.
LUBRICATION AND FUNCTION CHECK Warning: Turn the slicer OFF and disconnect the power supply cord and close the fence all the way before lubricating. General lubrication should be performed in accordance with the lubrication instructions below. During this lubrication sequence, be sure to check for free operation and movement of related parts as well as for excessive wear and looseness of various parts.
