INSTALLATION

Install the machine on a level, smooth and dry surface suitable for supporting the weight of the machine itself plus the products to be sliced.

WARNING: Verify that there are no obstacles to table travel and to the loading of products to be sliced onto the table itself.

The machine must be installed in the immediate vicinity of an EEC standard outlet connected to a system which is in conformity with the prevailing regulations and which has:

• magneto-thermic protection;

• automatic differential switch;

• earthing system.

Before carrying out electrical hook up verify that the characteristics of the electrical power mains are in agreement with those indicated on the machine information plate.

USE OF THE SLICER

WARNING! Blade is sharp, cutting hazard!

Check that the slice thickness adjustment knob (5) is in the safety position (in position 0) (Fig. A).

1. Pull the meat table (8) back all the way toward the operator, in the loading position;
2. lift the product holder (9) and put it into the standby po

sition;

1. rest the product to be sliced on the table near the vertical edge of the table (8) on the operator side. Block it with the product holder, applying slight pressure;
2. adjust the slice thickness. Activate the blade (10) by pressing the on button. Grip the product holder handle (14) and begin alternative cutting motion;
3. at the end of cutting operations return the slice thickness adjustment knob to the safety position and pull the carriage back. Stop the blade motion by pressing the off button (2).

CLEANING

Keep the machine thoroughly clean. If used, it should be cleaned at least once a day and more often if necessary. After a period of inactivity, the machine should also be cleaned before use.

Risk of electric shock! Before cleaning the machine, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains socket and return the slice thickness adjustment knob to the safety position.

WARNING! Blade is sharp, cutting hazard!

Check that the slice thickness adjustment knob (5) is in the safety position (in position 0) (Fig. A).

Cleaning products:

use only water and biodegradable foaming detergent for dishwashers with PH 7-8, using a soft, spongy cloth and a semi-rigid nylon brush for the sharp areas of the table, the sharpened product holder and the back area of the blade. Do not use abrasive cleaning tools, such as rigid sponges or semi-rigid nylon brush, to clean the painted areas of the slicer.

Do not clean the machine with

jets of water or steam or similar methods.

Table tilting for cleaning operations (Fig. B):

1. make sure that the machine is switched off;
2. make sure that the thickness adjustment knob (5) is in safety mode (position 0) (Fig. A);
