MAINTENANCE
Schedule
Sharpen the Blade
Sharpen the blade daily or any time that cutting becomes difficult or
produces a large amount of waste. The slicer should be treated as a
knife. If it is not adequately sharpened, the slicing results will be poor
and the machine will be overloaded.
NOTICE: Use the integrated sharpener to sharpen the blade. Do not
remove the blade to sharpen.
1. Turn the index control to the zero (0) position.
2. Press and release the OFF (O) button.
3. Unplug the slicer from the electrical outlet.
4. Clean the blade to remove any grease or food.
5. Lift the sharpener and rotate it 180° counter clockwise. Position the
sharpener so the blade is between the sharpening stones.
6. Plug the slicer into the electrical outlet.
7. Press and release the ON (—) button.
8. Press and hold the sharpening stone button. Let the blade rotate
against the sharpening stone for 30-40 seconds. Release the button.
Correctly sharpening the blade should produce sparks. See the
Troubleshooting section if sharpening does not produce sparks.
