-
slice only the permitted products, do not attempt cuts on prohibited type products;
-
always keep clean and dry the sliced product resting surface, the work area all around the machine and the operator floor area;
-
do not use the machine as a resting surface and do not place any objects on it other than food used for cutting operations;
-
do not use the slicer when, due to normal wear, the distance between the edge of the blade and the blade guard ring exceeds 6mm . In this case, contact the manufacturer or to one of the Authorized Service Centers to change the blade;
-
do not use the machine with temporary or non-insulated cables, power strips or extension cords;
periodically check the condition of the power supply cord on the machine body. When
necessary, have qualified personnel replacing it.
-
immediately stop the machine in the event of a defect, abnormal operation, suspicion of breakdown, incorrect movement, unusual noises;
-
before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, disconnect the machine from the electrical supply;
-
use protective gloves for cleaning and maintenance operations;
-
place and remove the goods to be sliced on the sliding plate only with the carriage completely pulled back and with the thickness adjustment knob placed in the safety position (on the 0 position) (Fig. A);
-
for movement of the meat table during cutting operations use only the handle located on the arm or the product presser grip;
-
never put your hands on the food product while slicing. Always keep your hands behind the protection devices and far from the blade;
-
use of cutting accessories which were not provided by the manufacturer with the machine is prohibited.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility coming from inappropriate use, modifications and/or repairs carried out by the user or unauthorized personnel, use of replacement parts that are not original or not specific for the machine model.
The machine shall not be used in open areas and/or areas which are exposed to atmospheric agents and in environments with vapors, fumes or corrosive and/or abrasive powders, with risk of fire or explosion and in any case where the
use of antiexplosive components is required.
Operating conditions:
-5°C to +40°C
DO NOT SLICE:
- frozen food products;
- food products with bones;
- any other product not intended for food use;
- contact of the aluminum components with strongly acidic or highly salted foods is not recommended.
The safety ring around the blade is made in conformity to European standards EN 1974:1998 +A1 but, in order to allow the sharpening operations, the protection in the sharpening area may not entirely eliminate the risk of cutting.
WARNING! During the blade cleaning and sharpening operations, pay extra attention to keep your hands as far as possible from the unprotected area. Use of protective gloves is recommended.
INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE
Install the machine on a flat, 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
the meat table travel and to the loading of products.
The machine must be installed in the immediate vicinity of an EEC standard outlet connect
ed to an electrical supply system which is in conformity with the prevailing regulations for:
- magneto-thermic protection;
- automatic differential switch;
- earthing system.
Before carrying out electrical hook up verify that the characteristics of the electrical power supply is in accordance with those indicated on the machine information plate.
OPERATION
WARNING! Risk of injury from sharp blade! Check that the thickness adjustment knob (5) is in the safety position (on the 0 position) (Fig. A).
- Pull the meat table (8) all the way back (towards the operator) in the loading position (Fig. B);
- lift the product holder (17) into the standby position;
- place the product to be sliced on the meat table near the operator side wall. Block it with the product holder applying slight pressure;
- adjust the slice thickness. Activate the blade (10) by pressing the start button (1). Grip the product holder handle (9) and start an alternative cutting motion;
- at the end of the cutting operations return the thickness adjustment knob to the safety position and pull the meat table back. Stop the blade motion by pressing the stop button (2).
CLEANING
Before using, clean the machine at least once a day - or more often if necessary - and always after a long period of
inactivity.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock! Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains socket and place the thickness adjustment knob in the safety position.
WARNING! Risk of injury from sharp blade! Check that the thickness adjustment knob (5) is in the safety position (on the O position) (Fig. A). DO NOT DISHWASH
Products for cleaning: use only water and biodegradable mild detergent, using a soft, spongy cloth and a semi-rigid nylon brush for the sharp areas of the plate and the product holder. Do not clean the machine with jets of water or steam or similar methods.
Dismantling:
1) free the meat table, rotating the presser clamp in the clockwise direction. With the thickness adjustment knob in the safety position, pull back the carriage all the way until the travel limit toward the operator: a metallic click notifies the operator that the meat table is locked; 2) remove the product presser; 3) extract the product holder unit sliding the meat table from its support (Fig. D);
1) rotating in the anticlockwise direction, loosen the blade cover tension rod grip; 2) to raise the blade disc, press on the grip in the direction of the blade; 3) lift the blade cover (Fig. E);
- the slice deflector: loosen the fixing screw (if
is present) and remove the slice deflector (Fig. F).
WARNING: Risk of injury from sharp blade! For the cleaning operations of the sharp areas of the plates, the product holder and the blade, use of protective gloves is also recommended.
Cleaning:
- the blade: press a damp cloth on the surface of the blade and move it slowly from the center toward the outside on the blade cover side and the opposite side (Fig. G). In the same way dry it using a dry cloth;
- the safety ring: use a soft brush to clean the area between the blade and the safety ring;
- the machine body: use a damp cloth or a sponge, rinsing water. Dry carefully.
MAINTENANCE
Blade Sharpening
Frequency and duration of sharpening depend on the use of the equipment.
WARNING! If the machine is equipped with its specific optional sharpener, follow the instructions. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer or to one of the Authorized Service Centers (see SERVICE).
For sharpening, follow the instructions:
- Position the thickness adjustment knob in the safety position (Fig. A);
- Pull the meat table all the way back (Fig. B);
- Lift the sharpening device cover (Fig. L);
-
Press the start button;
-
press the sharpening button for 10-15 seconds (Fig. O1). Press the deburring button for 3-5 seconds (Fig. O2).
- Stop the blade motion by pressing the stop button;
- move the device back to the initial position;
- Lower the sharpening device guard cover;
- Proceed with cleaning the slicer.
Lubrication
After a regular period of use, it may be necessary to lubricate the carriage guides. We recommend executing this operation every 3 months. For lubrication, only use acid free oil (we recommend Vaseline oil). Do not use vegetable oil.
SERVICE
No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. All the repair and replacement operations (like blade replacement, replacement of the motor belt, replacement of the sub-basaplate electrical system components, repair of structural parts, repair and/or re-placement of sub-baseplate components, or similar) shall be executed exclusively by personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
In the event service is needed, you may return your food slicer to the manufacturer or to one of the Authorized Service Centers.
For information about service centers please contact us at: service@berkelinternational.com
WARNING! The blade replacement is mandatory if distance between the edge of the blade and the internal edge
of the guard exceeds 6mm
