SWITCH POWER TO “OFF” POSITION AND UNPLUG SLICER FROM OUTLET AND SET THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT KNOB TO “0” SETTING. Note: Always align food support with the blade for safety and blade protection during storage and maintenance. This is accomplished by returning the thickness adjustment knob to the “0” position. CAUTION: Blade is sharp! LEM suggests wearing cut resistant gloves when removing and replacing or handling blade. • Unplug and allow slicer to cool completely. • Remove the food pusher by simply lifting it off the feed table handle. • Remove the sliding feed table by pressing the small gray stop on the right and moving the sliding feed table over the stop. This allows for easy clean up of the sliding feed table and the base of the slicer. • To reassemble sliding feed table: With sliding feed table in your right hand, position the hand and finger protectors on the left side and set the back lip of the base of the sliding feed tray under the sliding feed table guide at a slight angle. Align the front lip of the sliding feed table over the gray stop and under the front guide. The table should now slide back and forth with ease. • Remove the blade; loosen the blade locking screws by turning in a clockwise direction. After cleaning, tighten the blade with the blade locking screw by turning it in a counterclockwise direction. • Wash all removable parts in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry. • Wipe slicer body and base with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or materials. • Feet can be cleaned with a gentle grease removing cleanser, such as alcohol or window cleaner. STAINLESS BLADE: Unplug the slicer, loosen the blade locking screw by turning clockwise, as the arrow direction indicates. Then, wearing a glove, carefully take off the blade. After cleaning, tighten the blade with the blade locking screw in the counterclockwise direction.
NOTE: Blade locking screw is a separate part from the blade and is not attached. WARNING: Blade is sharp! LEM highly recommends wearing cut resistant gloves whenever handling the blade. NOTE: Always align food support with blade by returning the thickness adjustment knob to the “0” position, for safety and blade protection during storage and maintenance.
