4. START-UP AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

On receiving the box containing the slicer, ensure that it is intact and has not been damaged during transportation.

Any damages to the slicer must be reported to the transport company in writing within three days of the date of the accompanying documents, specifying in detail the damages found.

4.1 Opening the packaging

1. Loosen the screws of the wooden box.
2. Lift and remove the wooden lid and frame.
3. Lift the machine: two people are required to handle the machine, using the feet as handholds.
4. Check the contents of the packaging, making sure they correspond to the specifications on the packing slip;

The packaging materials are recyclable and must never be disposed of in household waste. Check with the local authorities for the appropriate ways to dispose of waste properly. Never dispose of the packaging material out in the open!

4.2 Installation

Place the slicer on a flat, smooth, and vibration-free surface that is stable and sturdy enough to ensure adequate safety, considering the weight of the machine. Any unevenness of the surface on which the machine is rested can be compensated using the adjustable feet.

The machine controls (control panel and slice assembly) should face the operator, with the blade and motor facing away from the operator.

Leave enough room around the slicer so that it can be properly operated, cleaned, and serviced. Leave a space of at least 300 mm free around the machine.

The slicer works properly in places with a relative humidity level of less than 80% and near heat sources at temperatures up to 40 °C.

4.3 Wiring

The slicer is a single-phase machine equipped with a Schuko plug.

Before plugging the machine into the outlet, ensure the power grid features an electrical overload cutout.

Before connecting the machine to the power supply, always ensure that the local power supply rating matches that on the machine's nameplate!

4.4 Mechanical safety devices

• Except for the actual cutting section, the blade is protected by an irremovable guard, which cannot be removed.
• The product carriage can only be removed if

o the stop plate covers the blade, and the graduated knob for cutting thickness adjustment is set to "0" (zero) or beyond that up to the stop,
o the product carriage is in the position closest to the operator, and
o the tappet on the product carriage has been disengaged from the automatic guide.

• The slice assembly can only be opened (using the graduated knob) if the product carriage is secured in its normal operating position.
• The blade can be removed. In any case, the user must exercise particular caution and care. Cut-resistant gloves must be worn for this purpose.
• All safety devices are permanently installed on the machine and must not be removed. Dismantling or tampering with them or any unauthorized modifications would make the machine unsafe.

This will result in the manufacturer no longer being responsible for accidents or injuries.

4.5 Acceptance testing

• Make sure all the slicer components are correctly assembled.
• Press the power-on and power-off buttons and check that the machine can be switched on and off.
• Check the sliding of the product carriage and food holder.
• Check the opening of the slice assembly.
• Check that the product carriage can only be removed in the following cases: if the graduated knob for cutting thickness adjustment is set to "0",
• if the stop plate covers the blade and the graduated knob for cutting thickness adjustment is set to "0" (zero) or beyond that up to the stop, and
• if the product carriage is in the position closest to the operator.
• Check that the slice assembly cannot be opened when the product carriage is removed from the machine.

In the event of malfunctions, immediately shut down the machine, tag it clearly as "DEFECTIVE," and contact customer service!

Use the slicer exclusively as it was designed to be used. The product carriage is tilted to enable the product to slide towards the blade under its weight.

The machine has an automatic mode, which causes the product carriage to move back and forth automatically.

Whenever machine operation is interrupted due to a voltage drop, the green start button "I" must be pressed to restart the machine.

Never hold the product or push it towards the blade by hand!

Keep hands well away from the blade and use the relevant handle to move the product carriage safely back and forth.

6. CLEANING AND CARE

For the sake of hygiene, the slicer must be kept clean at all times. The machine must be disassembled and cleaned at the end of each working day and whenever the type of product being sliced is changed (e.g., change from raw meats to cooked meats).

6.1 Cleaning

Before cleaning, disconnect the machine from the power supply. Do this by pulling the plug out of the power outlet. NEVER settle for simply pressing the slicer's red "stop button"!

Never wash the slicer or any of its parts in a dishwasher!

Under no circumstances use abrasive detergents as they would irreparably damage the machine's anodized surfaces. Never clean the slicer with harmful products liable to affect the health of either operators or customers. Only use products with a degree of acidity (pH 7-8) for cleaning.

When cleaning the blade, ensure that no water penetrates/runs into the blade hub.

Let all parts dry out completely. Any residual water may lead to the formation of flash rust.

1. Isolate the machine from the power supply by unplugging it.
2. Set the graduated knob for cutting thickness adjustment to "0" (zero).
3. Unscrew the handle on the carriage arm completely. Pull the product carriage towards the operator so the locking mechanism engages and the product carriage locks in place. Remove the product carriage from the machine. The slice assembly remains locked in the "0" position.

1. The base and other parts of the machine must always be washed with lukewarm water and liquid detergent and rubbed with a non-abrasive cloth. Rinse in cold water and let dry. The machine is fitted back together by following the disassembly procedure in reverse order.

6.2 Lubricating

To keep the food holder and product carriage sliding movements smooth, the slicer must be lubricated regularly in the designated points; use only resin-free white oil for this purpose; apply the lubricant of choice sparingly but frequently.

Spread a few drops of oil on the bar and move the slice assembly back and forth several times. Clean as necessary to remove excess oil.

If the slicer is to work correctly, the blade must always be kept sharp. It is better to sharpen the blade a little at regular intervals than a lot less frequently.

After sharpening, remove any traces of dirt from the grinding wheels. In addition, every single grain of sand must be removed from the blade and machine using a cloth dampened with alcohol.

Only blades with a smooth cutting edge can be sharpened. Sharpening operations involving serrated blades for bread slicers must be performed by skilled personnel.

Before sharpening, ensure that the blade is clean and completely free of grease, as any food residues on the blade may damage both the sharpening device and its grinding wheels.

The sharpening operation must be performed by authorized and skilled personnel only.

The sharpening device can no longer sharpen the blade once its diameter is wor down by 6 mm.

1. Switch off the machine.

2. Clean the blade thoroughly before sharpening and ensure there are no traces of grease left on it.

3. Check that the sharpening device is in the zero position.
