SLICING TIPS
•
•
•
To slice meats wafer thin, chill thoroughly before slicing.
Meats should be boneless. Fruits should be free of seeds.
Foods with an uneven texture – like fish and thin steaks-are often
difficult to slice. Partially freeze before slicing.
1. Unplug slicer from outlet.
2. Remove all slicing parts for thorough cleaning. Wash with a soft cloth
Hot Roast s: Beef, Pork, Lam b, Turkey, Ham
or sponge and a mild soap. Rinse and dry.
When slicing warm boneless roasts, remove from oven and let set 15-20
minutes before slicing. They will retain more natural juices and slice evenly
without crumbling. Cut the roast if necessary, to fit on food tray. If roast
is tied, turn off motor and remove strings one at a time as strings near
blade.
Fig. 3
3. For easier cleaning, remove parts in order
shown below. Wash as directed and replace
in reverse order.
4. Slide food pusher off and lift food tray from
platform.
5. Fold up platform. Using one leg as a handle,
swing platform out from slot A and remove
from slot B (Fig 1).
Ext ra-Thin Sliced Corned Beef or Fresh Beef Brisket
Chill cooked brisket overnight in cooking liquid. Before slicing, drain and
reserve meat drippings from brisket. Pat dry with paper towels. Remove
excess fat. Slice well-chilled brisket to desired thickness. To serve hot,
place slices on heatproof platter and moisten with small amount of
reserved meat drippings. Heat in 150°C (300°F) oven for 30 minutes.

6. Turn blade hatch counterclockwise and lift
out carefully. To replace, align both tabs of
blade latch with slots of motor housing and
turn clockwise to secure. Be sure gears
engage (Fig 3).
NOTE: Always align thickness guide with
blade for safety and blade protection during
storage.
Cheese
Chill thoroughly before slicing. Cover with foil to keep moist. Before serv-
ing, allow cheese to reach room temperature-this enhances the natural
flavor.
