SLICER DESCRIPTION
The Model 350, 350XL electric produce slicer is designed to slice tomatoes,
oranges, peppers and other soft products into multiple slices with a single
stroke. It will slice produce up to 3-1/2 inches in diameter. The 350 slicer
throat length is 4.25”, while the 350 XL is 5.75”. The slicing of any hard,
dense produce such as onions or potatoes will void the warranty and will
severely damage the blades and the pusher fingers. The slicer is approved by
the appropriate certifying organizations.
The slicer is manufactured of stainless steel and aluminum and it can be
easily disassembled for cleaning and/or maintenance.
NOTE: All slicers manufactured starting 2009 have the style pusher
assembly A1500 and use either the PI368 3/16”-3/8” Pusher Insert or PI014 1/4”
Pusher Insert. The insert is a plastic resin (lexan) design.
Operating Instructions
CAUTION: WITH POWER SWITCH OFF, CHECK TO BE SURE THAT PUSHER SECURING
KNOB IS TIGHT AND PUSHER FINGERS ARE CENTERED BETWEEN THE BLADES THE FIRST
TIME SLICER IS USED AND AFTER CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE. FOR PUSHER ASSEMBLY
ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTING PROCEDURE, SEE PAGE 9.
To operate the slicer, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet with the
same voltage as listed on the legend plate located on the side of the motor
cover. Lift the pusher assembly so that it rotates about its hinge point and
raise it until the pusher arms are vertical. Turn the on and off switch,
located on the side of the motor cover, to the on position. The slicer motor
should not start. Place a tomato or any other soft product that is to be
sliced in the center of the bank of blades of the blade carrier assembly, with
the product to be sliced orientated in the desired direction.
WARNING: THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP! BE SURE NOT TO TOUCH THE CUTTING EDGE
OF THE BLADES.
- Lower the pusher assembly toward the blades. The slicer motor will start when the pusher reaches a pre-set distance from the blades. Keep lowering the pusher assembly until the pusher fingers contact the product to be sliced and continue the downward motion using a very light downward force until the product is completely sliced. (See Figure 1).
Lift the pusher assembly to its original position. The slicer motor will stop
and another product can be placed on the blades and the slicing process can be
repeated.
The pre-set activation distance can be adjusted by loosening the thumb screw,
on the side of the pusher head, and rotating the metal cam. Retighten thumb
screw once desired activation height is achieved.
WARNING: NEVER FORCE PUSHER ASSEMBLY DOWN. USE A LIGHT DOWNWARD PRESSURE
ONLY OR BLADES AND PUSHER FINGERS WILL BECOME DAMAGED.
Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
WARNING: NEVER CLEAN OR MAINTAIN THE ELECTRIC SLICER WITHOUT TURNING THE ON AND OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION AND UNPLUGGING POWER CORD FROM POWER SOURCE.
- The pusher assembly, cover and blade carrier assembly is easily removed for cleaning. In order to remove these items, loosen the pusher assembly retaining screw and lift the pusher assembly off the unit. Remove the cover and remove the blade carrier assembly by first turning the cam assembly until the top pin is towards the front of the slicer. (See Figure 2.)
- Lift the blade carrier off the unit.
- IMPORTANT: To avoid injury, blade carrier should be stored and washed sharp side down in provided wash/storage guide. If you do not have this guide one should be ordered as Edlund part #A350 (A350L for XL version).
- For the Pusher Assembly, follow the disassembly procedure below for cleaning parts, replacing a damaged pusher insert or changing slice size.
CAUTION: ALWAYS MATCH BLADE SIZE TO PUSHER INSERT SIZE. DAMAGE TO BLADES,
AND OR PUSHER FINGERS CAN OCCUR IF INCORRECTLY MATCHED.
A) Open Pusher Assembly to full open position using handle. The Pusher Open
Stop should be resting on cover as seen in figure 3 below.
B) Squeeze Insert Tabs in toward each other to release Insert. Pull Insert
straight out away from Pusher. See figure 4.
C) Slide Guard GR011 up approx. ½” then lift Guard straight out away from
Pusher Frame. See figure 5.
A1500 PUSHER ASSEMBLY
WARNING: THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP! BE SURE NOT TO TOUCH THE CUTTING
SURFACE OF THE BLADES.
Wash the pusher assembly, the cover and the blade carrier assembly in mild
soap and water or in a dishwasher. The rest of the slicer can be wiped off
using a damp cloth.
WARNING: NEVER SUBMERGE OR PLACE ENTIRE ELECTRIC SLICER OR MOTOR HOUSING
IN WATER.
- To assemble equipment after cleaning, turn the cam assembly until the top pin is toward the front of the slicer and install the blade carrier in place, making sure that plastic feet are on the rails and that the drive mount pins are engaged in the holes of the drive links. Slide the cover in place and line up the holes in the cover with holes in the support plate. Also make sure that the cover interlock pin, located on the inside of the cover, is aligned with the hole in the interlock switch bracket. Install the pusher assembly in place by inserting the pins of the pusher mount through the holes in the cover into the holes in the support place. Start the pusher retaining screw and leave the screw loose. Lower the pusher assembly until the pusher fingers engage the space between the blades, center the cover and tighten the pusher retaining screw. (See Figure 6) WARNING: MAKE SURE THE PUSHER FINGERS DO NOT CONTACT THE BLADES. BLADES AND PUSHER FINGERS WILL BE DAMAGED IF SLICER MOTOR IS STARTED WITH THE PUSHER FINGERS IN CONTACT WITH THE BLADES OR USED WHEN MISALIGNED.
- The set of blades can be replaced if the blades become dull. It is recommended that all the blades be replaced at the same time because they may stretch during use, and replacement of only a few blades may cause the old blades to be loose when the blade-holders are tightened.
- The set of blades must be kept tight in order to function properly. Check the blade tension of all the blades by turning the blade carrier assembly over with the blade-cutting surface down. Run your fingers across the back of the set of blades, one at a time, the blades should “ring” and have a similar sound. If any of the blades appear to have a dull sound, contact your authorized service station.
NOTE: If for any reason the Model 350, 350XL Slicer does not function
properly, consult the trouble-shooting guide for assistance or call the
factory or your local service center.
WARRANTIES: The Edlund Company warrants these products to be free from
defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from date of
purchase. The company’s obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing
or replacing without charge any part or parts found to be defective under
normal use. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to return the entire
unit to the factory or a factory service branch, transportation charges
prepaid. This warranty does not cover parts that must be replaced under normal
use, including knives and drive gears on can openers. The company authorizes
no other warranty, written or verbal. Carrier is responsible for merchandise
in transit to you.
Pusher Assembly Alignment Check and Procedure
- With the unit unplugged and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and the pusher assembly mounted to the unit check the alignment of the pusher fingers to the blades. The pusher fingers should be centered in the spaces between the blades. If they are not follow step 2 below.
- Locate the alignment adjusting screws shown in figure 7. Determine which direction the pusher should rotate by observing where the pusher fingers align in between the blades. Using a small standard screwdriver you can turn the appropriate screw to rotate the pusher left or right. When adjusting a screw inward the opposing screw must be turned outward or loosened first. Center the pusher fingers and tighten the opposing screw. See figure 8 below. Check alignment again after tightening and adjust again if needed.
NOTE: Proper alignment is critical to the functioning of the slicer and will help ensure longevity of blades and pusher inserts. If blades or pusher assembly is changed perform an alignment before use.
Pusher Assembly Actuator Cam AC002 Adjustment
The Pusher Assembly includes an easy adjustment for the triggering of the
slicer blades to start operating. This can be adjusted for a particular size
of food product you are slicing by having the slicing blades start operating
earlier or later as the pusher is lowered down to slice food product.
Adjustment does not require the use of any tools. A knurl screw has been
provided for this and can be loosened and tightened by hand. The knurl screw
is also captivated on the pusher assembly to avoid accidental loss. To adjust
the actuator cam follow the procedure below. Proper adjustment of the actuator
cam helps ensure that the pusher fingers are in contact with the food product
before the blades start operating. When adjusted properly the food product
will be held firmly while being sliced providing the best slice possible.
Follow procedure below and see Figure 9.
- With the unit unplugged and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and the pusher assembly mounted to the unit you can begin to make the actuator cam adjustment. To adjust for slicing larger food product loosen the knurl screw by hand and rotate the actuator cam AC002 down as needed. This will cause the slicing blades to start operating sooner as the pusher is lowered onto the food product. This also captures the larger food product properly between the pusher insert fingers and blades. You can hear the actuator switch engage by listening for the “click” sound as the pusher is lowered.
- To adjust for slicing smaller food product loosen the knurl screw by hand and rotate the actuator cam AC002 up as needed. This will cause the slicing blades to start operating later as the pusher is lowered onto the food product. This also captures the smaller food product properly between the pusher insert fingers and blades. You can hear the actuator switch engage by listening for the “click” sound as the pusher is lowered.
