OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Place appliance on a flat, dry and stable surface.

- Place a suitable tray or plate behind slicer to collect the sliced food.
- Place food onto food carriage between support plate and slicing guard. Slide the food table back and forth a few times to check for easy movement. To avoid danger of injury, always use food carriage and slicing guard while slicing.
- Adjust the slice thickness by turning the thickness control to desired thickness between P and 15 (Deli thin to 9/16”).
- Slide food carriage back so food is clear of blade. Press power switch to start the slicer. Keep left hand clear, place near the power switch, and grasp the slicing guard with the other hand.
- To begin slicing, push food in towards support plate while holding the slicing guard and slide food into blade. Slide food carriage back and repeat until you have sliced the desired amount of food.
- When finished, press power switch to turn OFF unit. Note: Blade will continue to move for a short time. Always keep hands away from blade! Remove plug from electrical outlet before cleaning. Follow Care and Cleaning instructions.
