Troubleshooting
Electrical Failure
1.Is the pilot light illuminated? If not:
•Is the power cord completely plugged into the wall outlet?
•Check the power cord for cuts or breaks.
•Are you getting electricity from the wall outlet? Check by plugging in another piece of equipment with the same electrical requirements.
2.Is the pilot light illuminated but blinking? If so, then push the stop button and then the start button. If the light is still blinking, then contact your nearest Designated Berkel Service Location. If you do not know your nearest Designated Berkel Service Location, then see page 10 for details on whom to contact.
3.If the correction of any of the above conditions does not result in a functional slicer, call your Designated Berkel Service Location.

2.Are sharpening stones clean? If not, then remove them from the assembly and clean them thoroughly with water and a stiff bristled brush. They are left hand threaded nuts.
