Maintenance Tips
-
Clean thoroughly after each use: Disassemble removable parts (blade guard, food carriage, deflector, tray) and wash with warm soapy water; wipe the slicer frame and non-removable surfaces with a damp cloth — avoid immersion of electrical components.
-
Sanitize contact surfaces: After cleaning, sanitize blade, carriage, and food contact parts to comply with food safety standards and prevent cross‑contamination.
-
Sharpen or replace blade regularly: A dull blade increases wear on the motor and reduces cut quality; follow manufacturer guidelines for sharpening and replacement.
-
Lubricate moving mechanisms: Apply food‑safe lubricant to the carriage slide rods and adjustment gear to ensure smooth, precise slicing.
-
Check alignment and tension: Ensure the blade assembly and carriage move smoothly without wobble; re‑align or tighten components if cuts become uneven.
-
Inspect power components: Regularly examine the power cord, plug, and motor housing for damage; any wear or exposed wiring should be addressed immediately.
-
Avoid moisture infiltration: Keep the motor housing dry and never pour water over the slicer — moisture can damage internal wiring and cause malfunction.
-
Use proper thickness settings: Don’t force the carriage — allow the slicer to cut at its own rhythm to avoid motor strain and prolong blade life.
