OPERATION

Preparing to Slice

1. Unwrap cord from the bottom of slicer and slide into the slot. Position slicer on a clean, dry and smooth surface.
2. Move the support plate back and forth a few times to ensure movement is smooth.
3. Place the piece holder on the back of the support plate.
4. Select the required slice thickness by turning thickness adjusting knob, clockwise for a thinner slice and counter-clockwise for a thicker slice. The range of adjustment is from 0-15mm.
5. The meat must be at room temperature (not cold) before adding to the machine to ensure the best result.

CAUTION: Always use the support plate and handle.

1. Plug into a 220-240V AC 50Hz power outlet.
2. Place food to be sliced on the sliding table and press the slicing guard against the thickness guide. Use the slicing guard to push the food slightly against the back cover.
3. The maximum size of food is: 110x110x90mm (length x width x thickness).
4. Switch on the appliance.
5. When the blade is rotating, push the sliding table towards the blade. Move the table back and forth steadily. Keep food gently pressed against guide for even slices.
6. Do not operate the machine continuously for more than 5 minutes, as the motor may overheat. Turn off power switch and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the motor to cool down before proceeding.
7. During slicing, if the rotational speed of blade appears to be struggling, ensure the food has properly thawed before proceeding.
8. When finishing slicing, unplug the unit from the power source. For safety and blade protection when storing, turn thickness adjusting knob to align thickness guide with blade.

Use Your Food Slicer for Best Result

• To slice meats wafer thin, freeze for 2 to 4 hours before slicing.
• Meats should be boneless. Fruit should be free of seeds or stones.
• Foods with an uneven texture-like fish and thin steaks -are often difficult to slice. Freeze for 2 to 4 hours before slicing.
• The slicer can quickly cut cucumbers, onions or other fruit and vegetables for delicious pickles, apples pies, vegetable soups etc.

Hot Roasts: Beet, Pork, Lamb, Ham

• When slicing warm boneless roast, remove them from oven at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. They will return more natural juices and slice evenly without crumbling.
• Cut the roast, if necessary, to fit on the food tray. If roast is tied, turn off motor and remove strings one at a time as strings near blade.

Extra-Thin Sliced Corned Beef or Fresh Beef Brisket
Chill cooked brisket overnight in cooking liquid. Before slicing, drain and reserve meat drippings from brisket. Pat dry with paper towels. Remove excess fat. Slice well chilled brisket to desired thickness. To serve hot, place slices on heatproof platter and moisten with small amount of reserved meat dripping. Heat in 150°C oven for 30 minutes.

Cheese
Chill thoroughly before slicing. Cover with foil to keep moist. Before serving, let cheese reach room temperature. This enhances the natural flavour.

Cold Meats
Cold meats keep longer and retain flavour if sliced as needed. For best results, chill first. Remove any plastic or hard casing before slicing. Use a constant, gentle pressure for uniform slices.

Vegetables and Fruits
This slicer is suitable for slicing many vegetables and fruits including potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage (for coleslaw), eggplant, squash and zucchini. Potato may be sliced thick for casseroles or thin for chips.

Breads, Cakes and Cookies
Freshly baked bread should be cooled before slicing. Use day-old or slightly stale bread for extra-thin sliced for toasting. Your slicer is ideal for all types of breads, pound cake and fruit cake. For wafer-thin cookies, chill dough in refrigerator and then slice as desired.
