The manufacturer and/or the seller is not liable in the following cases:
– if the slicer has been tampered by non-authorized personnel;
– if some parts have been substituted by non-original spare parts;
–  if the instructions included in this manual are not followed accurately;
– if the slicer is not cleaned and oiled with the right products.

Safety systems installed in the slicer
The slicer is equipped with:

• a micro-switch that stops the slicer in case the tie rod for blade guard is removed; the micro-switch prevents from restarting the slicer if the guard has not been set in the switch-off position.
• a relay in the control box which requires the restart of the slicer when a power cut occurs.

Even though slicers are provided with electrical and mechanical protections (when the slicer is operating and for maintenance and cleaning operations), there are still RESIDUAL RISKS that cannot be eliminated completely; these risks are specified in this manual under WARNING. The blade and other parts of the machine can cause cuts  and injuries.

4. Screw on the two dome nuts.

NOTE! You are advised not to use the appliance if the handguard is not attached as instructed! These are safety features that will prevent possible injury. If you do not attach these features, there will be a risk of injury.

Instructions for use

• Position the appliance so that the on/off switch is facing the user.
• If the blade sharpener has not been installed, proceed as follows:
  – Position the blade sharpener in its support so that the blade does not extend between the gears.
  – Tighten the safety screw on the blade sharpener.
  – Note! The appliance is equipped with a safety switch and will turn off automatically if the  sharpening  device is removed)
• Push the plugin the wall socket.
• Turn the dial with the graduated scale to the desired slice thickness.
• Switch ON the appliance by pressing the “WHITE (I)” button of the ON/OFF switch.
• Put the food product on the carriage and adjust the clamp to hold the product firmly in place. Make sure the product is positioned against the stop plate.
• Once the product has been sliced, switch OFF the appliance by pressing the “BLACK (O)” button of the ON/OFF switch.
• Turn the thickness dial back to “0”.

Loading and slicing of foodstuffs

WARNING: Products to be cut must be loaded on the food tray only when the dial knob is set to the “0” position. Pay attention to the blade and the sharp edges.
The procedure is as follows:

• once the product has been loaded onto the food tray and placed against the plate, stop it with the arm provided with gripping points;
• adjust the dial knob so as to obtain the  desired cutting thickness;
• to avoid accidents, the operator has to face the machine and adopt a correct position: put the ring hand on the meat pusher, and then the left one beside the deflector (do not touch the blade);the body must be perpendicular to the working surface (see FIG. 1a). WARNING: Pay maximum attention: no part of your body should contact the blade (see FIG. 1b);
• push the switch-on button “I”;
• smoothly push the carriage (food tray + meat pusher + stem) towards the blade without exerting pressure on foodstuffs with the meat pusher since they have their own
  the force of gravity which exerts pressure on the thickness gauge. The blade will easily cut foodstuffs and slicers will be guided by the deflector onto the collecting plate (see FIG. 2);
• do not operate the slicer without foodstuffs;
• once foodstuffs have been cut, set the dial knob  in the “0” position and switch off the machine by setting the switch to the “0” position;
• resharpen the blade as soon as slices show a rough or frayed surface and the cutting becomes difficult (see Sharpening the blade).

WARNING: Before proceeding with blade sharpening, remain alert to the RESIDUAL RISKS (see Electrical safety system) that refer to the hazard of injury if the instructions below are not followed. The blade must be sharpened periodically and as soon as it becomes blunt; the detailed instructions below are to be followed:

• clean the blade accurately with alcohol to remove grease after the plug has been disconnected from the socket;
• unscrew the knob (1, Fig.3a), lift (a) the sharpener (2, Fig.3a) up to the locking position and rotate it 180°.
  Then l et it moves to the end so that the blade is positioned between the two sharpeners. Lock the knob;
• switch-on the slicer by pushing the button “I” (ON);
• push the small button (3, Fig. 3b), let the blade rotate against the sharpener for 30/40 sec. to produce a sharp burr on the blade edge;
• pushbuttons simultaneously for 3/4 seconds (1 and 2, Fig 3c) and then leave them simultaneously;
• it is recommended to clean the sharpeners upon the end of sharpening (see Cleaning of the sharpener);
• once sharpening has been completed, return the slice to its original setting with the reverse procedure.
• after sharpening, the blade should be cleaned (See Cleaning of the blade guard and blade)

NOTE: Do not prolong the burring operation beyond 3/4 sec. in order to prevent the dangerous twisting of the blade cutting edge. 
The blade should be replaced when it cannot be sharpened any further or when the gap between the edge of the blade and the blade guard exceeds 6 mm. 

Ordinary cleaning

General features

• The slicer cleaning must be carried out at least once a day or more frequently, if necessary.
• Cleaning must be extremely accurate for those parts of the slicer which are directly or indirectly in contact with foodstuffs.
• The slicer must not be cleaned with water-cleaner and high-pressure water jets; use water and neutral detergent instead. Do not use other detergents. Tools, brushes and other devices likely to damage the slicer’s surface must not be used.
  Before carrying our any cleaning operation it is necessary to:
• disconnect the power supply plug from the socket to isolate the slicer from the rest of the electric circuit completely;
• set the dial knob adjusting the plate to the “0” position.
  WARNING: Pay attention to residual risks due to cutting and/or sharp edges. Wear protective gloves (not supplied) if necessary.

Slicer cleaning procedure
Cleaning of the food tray
The carriage (food tray + arm + stem) is easily removable:

• set the dial knob in the “0” position (1);
• set the carriage (2) at the end of its run (a) near the controls;
• unscrew the screw (3), slide the carriage upwards (b); after having removed the carriage, it is possible to clean accurately the food tray with hot water and neutral detergent (pH 7).

Cleaning of the blade guard and blade

• Remove the blade guard cover by unscrewing the pin at the back of the appliance (see Fig. 4).
  WARNING: The blade cleaning must be carried out with a wet cloth with metal gloves on.
  To clean the opposite surface of the blade it is necessary to remove the blade (see Fig. 5).
  The blade is to be removed as follows:
• disassemble the blade guard (see Fig. 5);
• remove the sharpener (a) and turn the thickness blade with the dial knob to make the Plexiglas blade removal tool (b) (not supplied) adhere to the blade;
• loosen the 3 or 4 screws (f) (according to the model) that fix the blade;
• lean the Plexiglas blade removal tool on the blade to obtain the coupling of the blade holes with the two screws (e), turn the blade until it reaches the correct position;
• slightly tighten the screw (e).

WARNING: The blade guard must be cleaned with hot water and neutral detergent.

Cleaning of the sharpener
The sharpener cleaning operation is carried out by rubbing the grinding moles with a brush. The moles must be placed in the safety position which means that they must be turned towards the side opposite to the blade.

Cleaning of the deflector
To remove the deflector unscrew the two screws (a) locking the deflector (see Fig. 6).
Clean the deflector with hot water and neutral detergent.

Maintenance

General features
