FAQs
Can this slice frozen meat?
This slicer is intended for fresh bread, meats, cheeses, and vegetables. It is not designed to slice through frozen foods, as this can damage the motor.
Are the blades dishwasher safe?
It is highly recommended to hand wash the blades to maintain their sharpness and prevent corrosion from harsh dishwasher detergents.
How do I change the blades?
The blades can be unlocked by rotating the central locking mechanism on the blade housing. Always handle blades with extreme caution.
What is the maximum thickness I can slice?
The thickness dial allows for adjustments up to 15mm.
Is the slicer safe for children to use?
No, this is an electrical appliance with a sharp, exposed blade. It should always be kept out of reach of children and operated only by adults.
Troubleshooting
The slicer is not cutting evenly.
Check that the food item is pressed firmly against the carriage spikes and that you are maintaining constant, gentle pressure against the food pusher.
The machine stops during operation.
The motor may have overheated. Turn the unit off, unplug it, and allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before resuming.
Blade movement feels sluggish.
Ensure no food debris is caught behind the blade guard. Clean the area around the spindle and ensure the blade is correctly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using the slicer for the first time, ensure the machine is placed on a flat, dry, and level surface. Verify that the suction-grip feet are firmly engaged with the countertop. To install a blade, align it with the spindle and lock it according to the included instructions. Always use the food holder when slicing to keep fingers away from the rotating edge. After use, turn the thickness dial to '0' to cover the blade. For maintenance, remove the blade carefully and wash it by hand with warm, soapy water; avoid abrasive scrubbers that could dull the stainless steel. Wipe the main motor housing with a damp cloth, ensuring no water enters the internal mechanical components.
