• The slicer must be operated only by highly qual- ified people who are fully aware of the safety measures described in this manual.

In case of personnel rotation, training is to be pro- vided in advance

Although the slicer is equipped with safety devices in the dangerous points, it is recommended not to touch the blade and the moving components.

Before starting cleaning and maintenance opera- tions, disconnect the slicer plug from the supply

Assess the residual risks carefully when protec- tion devices are removed to carry out cleaning and maintenance

• Cleaning and maintenance require great concen- tration.

A regular control of the electric supply cord is abso- lutely necessary; a worn-out or damaged cord can expose users to great electric shock hazard

If the slicer shows malfunctions, it is recommended not to use or attempt to repair the device; please call the “SERVICE CENTRE”

Do not use the slicer for frozen products, meat and fish with bones and any products other than foodstuffs.

Do not use the slicer without the meat pusher when the meat is nearly finished.

Do not place yourself in a dangerous position, the blade may cause injuries. The manufacturer and/or the seller is not liable in the following cases: - if the slicer has been tampered by non-author- ized personnel; - if some parts have been substituted by non-orig- inal 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 which 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 operat- ing 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.6

dome nuts. NOTE! You are advised not to use the appliance if the hand guard 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 sharpen- er. - Note! The appliance is equipped with a safe- ty switch and will turn off automatically if the sharpening device is removed)

• Push the plug in the wall socket.

• Turn the dial with the graduated scale to the de- sired 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”.8

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 ma- chine 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 exert- ing pressure on foodstuffs with the meat pusher since they have their own 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 be- comes difficult (see Sharpening the blade). Fig. 1a. Right position Fig. 1b. Bad position Fig. 2. Cutting meat9

WARNING: Before proceeding with blade sharpen-

ing, remain alert to the RESIDUAL RISKS (see Elec- trical safety system) that refer to the hazard of inju- ry 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 let it move to the end so that the blade is posi- tioned 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;

push buttons simultaneously for 3/4 seconds (1 and 2, Fig 3c) and then leave them simultaneous- ly;

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 pro- cedure.

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 edge of the blade and the blade guard exceeds 6 mm. Fig. 3a Fig. 3b Fig. 3c10

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 re- movable:

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). Carriage removal 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 nec- essary 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; Fig. 4 – Blade guard removal11

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. Fig. 5 – Assembling the Plexiglas blade removal tool (b) 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 de- tergent. Fig. 6 - View of the deflector Maintenance General features Before starting maintenance it is necessary to:

Disconnect the power supply cord plug from the socket to isolate the slicer from the electric cir- cuit completely.

Place the dial knob adjusting the thickness plate in the “0”position. Belt The belt is not to be adjusted. Generally, it must be replaced after 3 or 4 years; in this case please call your authorized “SERVICE CENTER”. Feet Feet may deteriorate and lose elasticity, thus reducing the stability of the slicer. In this case they must be replaced. Call your authorized “SERVICE CENTER” to replace the feet.12

Power supply cord Periodically check the power supply cord for any symptoms of worn-out and, if this is the case, please call the “SERVICE CENTER” to have it replaced. Blade Check that the blade does not lose more than 10mm of its original diameter. To have it replaced call the “SERVICE CENTER”. Sharpener - grinding moles Check that the grinding moles retain their abrasive property during sharpening operations. Call the “SERVICE CENTRE” if it is necessary to replace the grinding moles to prevent the blade damage. Lubrication of sliding guides From time to time pou some oil drops onto the round sliding guide along which the carriage moves back and forth. This operation can be performed through the opening (OIL) next to the dial knob. Label of the push-button panel If the labels of the push-button panel have been damaged, call the “SERVICE CENTER” for replacement.
