OPERATION

SAFETY

SAFETY DEVICES INCORPORATED IN THIS SLICER MUST BE IN THEIR CORRECT OPERATING POSITIONS ANYTIME THE SLICER IS IN USE.

The TOP KNIFE COVER (Fig. 2) must be in position and secured with the LATCH KNOB. The RING GUARD (Fig. 3) is not removable. The DEFLECTOR accessory, if equipped, is mounted behind the blade on a spring clip (Fig. 3). The TOP KNIFE COVER and the DEFLECTOR can be removed for cleaning.

The MEAT GRIP must be used when slicing short ends to help keep your hands away from the knife.

When the slicer is not running, the INDEX KNOB (Fig. 2) must be turned back below zero (fully clockwise). The gauge plate will then prevent the knife edge from being exposed.

Always UNPLUG the power cord before cleaning or moving the slicer.

SLICING — MODEL 1612P

Pull the carriage all the way toward you until it reaches its stop. With the meat grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on the carriage tray.

Set the meat grip against the product and turn on the slicer by pulling the switch knob (Fig. 2). If the meat grip is not needed, it may be stored out of the way by sliding it to the top of its travel, rotating it behind the carriage tray, and allowing it to rest on the meat grip retaining clip.

Adjust the gauge plate to obtain the desired slice thickness by turning the index knob (Fig. 3). The numbers on the index knob do not indicate actual measurements but may be used for reference to duplicate slice thicknesses.

Use the carriage tray handle (Fig. 3) to push the carriage back and forth to slice.

To use the optional food chute, loosen the carriage tray thumb screw (Fig. 2) and carefully remove the carriage tray. Position the food chute on the carriage support and secure it by tightening the thumb screw. The pusher plate is provided with the food chute to force-feed products when necessary.
