! CAUTION: !
Blades are sharp and can cause injury. Check machine before using. Be sure machine is clean. Check for broken, nicked or dull blades and if found, replace blade assembly. Check to ensure that the pusher head sits down completely on the rubber bumpers. Lubricate if necessary using a light coating of mineral oil, Petrol Gel or food grade lubricant. DO NOT LUBRICATE WITH COOKING OIL AS IT WILL BECOME STICKY.
PRIOR TO USING YOUR EQUIPMENT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN THE UNIT.
! CAUTION: WASH NEW BLADES WITH WARM SOAPY WATER AND RINSE THOROUGHLY TO REMOVE THE THIN PROTECTIVE OIL FILM.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
! CAUTION: PLACE SLICER ON A TABLE OR COUNTER. POSITION THE INSTASLICE TABLE STOP OVER A TABLE EDGE TO HOLD THE MACHINE IN PLACE.
1. Before each use, always check for proper blade tightness and unit cleanliness. Check for broken, nicked or dull blades and if found, replace blade assembly.
2. This unit should be used to slice soft vegetables such as tomatoes, mushrooms, strawberries, etc. Hard foods such as onions, potatoes, lemons, etc. will cause blade breakage. Use a Tomato King Scooper to remove the stem scar of the tomato. For best results, the tomatoes should be clean and wet before slicing them in the machine.
3. Spray the plastic platform and blades with water to reduce friction and repeat as needed during use.
4. Place the tomato top down on the platform of the slicer against the pusher head. Place one hand on the pusher head handle and one hand on the knob on top of the slicer. With a quick push of the pusher head, push the tomato through the blades catching the slices into a pan placed at the end of the slicer.
5. Repeat this process until you have prepared enough food for your daily needs.
6. Rinse blades immediately. Failure to do so will shorten the life of the blades.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
To insure optimal performance of the equipment, clean the machine after every use. Food acids corrode the cutting blades, ruining the cutting edges and reducing the cutting blade life.
Refer to the illustration for additional assistance in reviewing the following cleaning instructions.
! CAUTION: BLADES ARE SHARP AND CAN CAUSE INJURY. NEVER USE MACHINE UNLESS ALL FOUR RUBBER FEET ARE IN PLACE.
1. Place the pusher head in its most “OPEN” position by retracting the handle.
2. Rinse or spray off the machine thoroughly with HOT water. You may want to immerse the complete machine in warm soapy water first.
