OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

CAUTION Sharp Blade. Handle carefully. Keep fingers away from the blade. Never feed food by hand. Always use the food pusher. Always use completely assembled meat slicer with food carriage and food pusher. Protective, cut-resistant gloves are recommended whenever handling the blade.

Do not use harsh abrasives to clean any part of the Meat Slicer. Use extreme caution when handling or cleaning the Blade, as it is extremely sharp! Do not leave Blade in water; trying to handle sharp objects in water can be hazardous. It is highly recommended to wear cut-resistant gloves when removing, cleaning and reinstalling the Blade.

   NOTE: After cleaning is complete, use National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) approved food grade silicone lubricant (SKU 03-0101-W) to help lubricate and protect moving parts.

MEAT SLICING TIPS

• Slice more than just meat
  Whatever you can slice with a mandolin, you can slice on the Meat Slicer. Cut perfectly uniform cored apples, pepper rings, onion or tomato slices, shred lettuce and cabbage or slice bread and cheese.
• Don’t force slicer
  People often make the mistake of pushing the food across the Blade too forcefully. Blade should glide easily through food. When you force the slicer, you wear down the motor and slow the Blade. If you go with the flow, the Slicer will last longer and you’ll have more uniform slices.
• Keep food as cold as possible
  The colder, the better. Really cold and/or somewhat frozen food is best for slicing. Place meats and soft cheeses in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing. Partially freezing fish helps when trying for paper-thin slices.
• Create a flat surface
  Slice ham, roast, loaf of bread, cabbage or any food in half to create a flat surface to start. Face the surface against the blade. It will help keep the slices uniform.
• Do not use foods that have seeds
  Tomatoes are the exception. The seeds and pits of other fruits such as peaches, avocados, etc. can cause damage to your appliance. It’s best to avoid any foods with seeds.
• Do not cut meats with the bone
  Never slice through bone. It is important to only slice foods which do not contain bone, since this can damage your Slicer.
