Heavy-Duty Electric Slicers Operator’s Manual
OPERATION
Inspect the Slicer
• Inspect the slicer for correct assembly.
• Verify the carriage release knob is fully tight and the carriage tray
does not wobble. Gently move the carriage to verify the carriage
release pin is fully retracted and does rub against the slicer body.
• Verify the slicer is in good working condition.
• Do not use the slicer if it is not in good working condition. Contact
authorized Vollrath service agency to service the slicer.
Load the Slicer
1. Slide the carriage tray to the load/start position (closest to the
operator).
2. Lift the product grip and place the food onto the carriage tray and in
contact with the gauge plate.
3. Place the product grip either on top or behind the food to be sliced.
4. Use the index control knob to set the desired slice thickness.
5. Press and release the ON (—) button.
Slice Food
1. Use the carriage handle to push the carriage tray back and forth to
slice the food.
Turn Off Slicer
1. Turn the index control to the zero (0) position so the gauge plate
protects the blade edge.
2. Press and release the OFF (O) button.
LUBRICATION
To ensure smooth and safe operation properly lubricate the slicer.
Carriage Slide
Lubricate the carriage slide monthly or more frequently as needed. See
“Lubricate the Carriage Slide” on page 8.
Gauge Plate Slide
Lubricate the gauge plate slide at least daily, and after every cleaning
with the oil supplied with the slicer or a food-grade lubricant.
OVERLOAD RESET SWITCH
If the slicer becomes overloaded, the reset switch stops the slicer to
protect the motor. In case of overload:
1. Press and release the OFF (O) button.
2. Unplug the slicer power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Remove the food that caused the overload. If necessary, clean the
equipment. See “Clean the Slicer” on page 6.
4. Press and release the reset button, located on the bottom of the
slicer.
5. Plug the slicer into the electrical outlet.
6. Press and release the ON (—) button to resume operation.
Reset should be a rare occurrence and should be due to overloading the
slicer. Contact a Vollrath authorized repair service center if the switch is
activating often during normal use.
