WARNING! The motor may overheat! After 15 minutes of continuous use, switch off the machine and let the motor cool. The blade can sever parts of the body. For this reason, never extend hands into the cutting area between the gauge plate and the blade if the thickness adjustment lever (5) is not in the safety position (in position 0)

Take extreme care to keep hands as far away as pos-sible from the cutting area during blade cleaning and sharpening. The use of pro-tective gloves is recommend-ed.

INSTALLATION

Install the machine on a level, smooth and dry surface suita-ble for supporting the weight of the machine itself plus the products to be sliced.

WARNING: Verify that ! there are no obstacles to table travel and to the loading of products to be sliced onto the table itself. The machine must be installed in the immediate vicinity of an EEC standard outlet con-nected to a system which is in conformity with the prevailing regulations and which has:

  • magneto-thermic protection;
  • automatic differential switch;
  • earthing system.

Before carrying out electrical hook up verify that the charac-teristics of the electrical power mains are in agreement with those indicated on the ma-chine information plate.

USE OF THE SLICER

WARNING! Blade is ! sharp, cutting hazard! Check that the slice thickness adjustment knob (5) is in the safety position (in position 0)

  1. Pull the meat table (8) back all the way toward the opera-tor, in the loading position;
  2. lift the product holder (9) and put it into the standby position;
  3. rest the product to be sliced on the table near the vertical edge of the table (8) on the operator side. Block it with the product holder, applying slight pressure;
  4. adjust the slice thickness. Activate the blade (10) by pressing the on button. Grip the product holder handle (14) and begin alternative cutting motion;
  5. at the end of cutting opera-tions return the slice thickness adjustment knob to the safety position and pull the carriage back. Stop the blade motion by pressing the off button (2).

CLEANING

Keep the machine thorough-ly clean. If used, it should be cleaned at least once a day and more often if necessary. After a period of inactivity, the machine should also be cleaned before use. Risk of electric shock! Be-fore cleaning the machine, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains socket and return the slice thick-ness adjustment knob to the safety position.

WARNING! Blade is ! sharp, cutting hazard! Check that the slice thickness adjustment knob (5) is in the safety position (in position 0) (Fig. A).
Cleaning products:
use only water and biodegrad-able foaming detergent for dishwashers with PH 7-8, us-ing a soft, spongy cloth and a semi-rigid nylon brush for the sharp areas of the table, the sharped product holder and the back area of the blade. Do not use abrasive cleaning tools, such as rigid sponges or semi-rigid nylon brush, to clean the painted areas of the slicer. Do not clean the machine with jets of water or steam or similar methods.
