Loading and slicing of foodstuffs
GB
WARNING! Products to be cut must be loaded on the food tray
only when the thickness 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 thickness dial knob so as to obtain the desired cut-
ting thickness;
• to avoid accidents, the operator has to face the machine and
adopt a correct position: put the ring hand on the meat push-
er, and then the left one beside the deflector (do not touch
the blade);the body must be perpendicular to the working
surface (see Fig.9 on page 7).
WARNING! Pay maximum attention: no part of your body
should contact the blade (see Fig.10 on page 7);
• push the switch-on button "I";
• smoothly push the carriage (food tray + meat pusher + stem)
towards the blade without exerting pressure on foodstuffs
with the meat pusher since they have their own force of grav-
ity which exerts pressure on the thickness gauge. The blade
will easily cut foodstuffs and appliance will be guided by the
deflector onto the collecting plate (see Fig.11 on page 7);
• do not operate the appliance without foodstuffs;
• once foodstuffs have been cut, set the thickness dial knob in
the "0" position and switch OFF the appliance by pressing the
"0" button of ON/OFF switch;
• resharpen the blade as soon as slices show a rough or frayed
surface and the cutting becomes difficult (See ==> "Sharpen-
ing the blade" under "Operating instructions").
Sharpening the blade
WARNING! Before proceeding with blade sharpening, remain
alert to the RESIDUAL RISKS (See ==> Safety system installed)
that refer to the hazard of injury if the instructions below are
not followed.
The blade must be sharpened periodically and as soon as it be-
comes blunt; the detailed instructions below are to be followed:
• disconnect the power supply;
• place the thickness dial knob adjusting the thickness plate
in the "0"position;
• Clean the blade accurately with alcohol to remove grease;
• Unscrew the sharpener locking knob
lift (a) the sharpener (1, Fig.12 on page 7) up to the locking
position and rotate it 180°.
Then let it move to the end so that the blade is positioned
between the two sharpeners. Lock the knob;
• Switch-on the slicer by pushing the button "I" (ON);
• Push the small button (13, Fig.11 on page 7), 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 (11 and 12,
Fig.14 on page 7) and then leave them simultaneously;
• It is recommended to clean the sharpeners upon the end of
sharpening (See ==> Sharpener cleaning);
• Once sharpening has been completed, return the slice to its
original setting with the reverse procedure.
• After sharpening, the blade should be cleaned (See ==>
Blade, blade guard and ring cleaning)
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.
