Frequently Asked Questions - MS06 Weston

How to adjust cutting thickness?

Turn the thickness adjustment knob: toward 0 for thin slices, toward 15 for thicker slices.

What to do if the blade does not turn?

Check that the device is plugged in, the switch is in the ON position (I/on), and the blade locking screw is tight (turn it counterclockwise with a screwdriver).

How to safely clean the blade?

Wear cut-resistant gloves. Turn the thickness knob to '-', remove the pusher, then loosen the locking screw (clockwise) to remove the blade. Hand wash in warm soapy water without soaking. Always wipe away from the blade edge.

Can I slice foods with bones?

No, never slice bones. This could damage the blade and appliance. Use only boneless foods.

What is the maximum continuous use time?

Do not operate the appliance for more than 10 minutes continuously. Let it cool for 30 to 60 minutes before using again to avoid damaging the motor.

How to assemble the appliance before first use?

Make sure the switch is in the OFF position. Insert the blade onto the shaft, tighten the locking screw counterclockwise with a screwdriver or coin. Place the sliding carriage and pusher. Plug into a suitable outlet.

What to do if the slicer struggles with food?

Do not force! The blade should glide easily. If it struggles, the food may be too soft or the blade dull. Use very cold or semi-frozen foods, and create a flat surface against the blade.

How to lubricate moving parts?

After cleaning, apply an NSF-approved food-grade silicone lubricant (part number 03-0101-W) to moving parts to protect and ease movement.

Can I slice soft cheese?

Yes, but for best results, place soft cheese in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing. Very cold foods yield clean slices.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

MEAT SLICING TIPS

- Slice more than just meat

Whatever you can slice with a mandolin, you can slice on the Meat Slicer. Cut perfectly uniform cored apples, pepper rings, onion or tomato slices, shred lettuce and cabbage or slice bread and cheese.

- Don't force slicer

People often make the mistake of pushing the food across the Blade too forcefully. Blade should glide easily through food. When you force the slicer, you wear down the motor and slow the Blade. If you go with the flow, the Slicer will last longer and you'll have more uniform slices.

- Keep food as cold as possible

The colder, the better. Really cold and/or somewhat frozen food is best for slicing. Place meats and soft cheeses in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing. Partially freezing fish helps when trying for paper-thin slices.

- Create a flat surface

Slice ham, roast, loaf of bread, cabbage or any food in half to create a flat surface to start. Face the surface against the blade. It will help keep the slices uniform.

- Do not use foods that have seeds

Tomatoes are the exception. The seeds and pits of other fruits such as peaches, avocados, etc. can cause damage to your appliance. It's best to avoid any foods with seeds.

- Do not cut meats with the bone

Never slice through bone. It is important to only slice foods which do not contain bone, since this can damage your Slicer.
