TROUBLESHOOTING
Should your slicer fail to function properly, here are a few things you can check before calling
a Berkel Serviceman.
Product not slicing properly; thick and thin or irregular slices
1. Is the knife sharp? If not, sharpen according to instructions (page 10). Remember, only
sharpen a clean knife.
2. Does the product size exceed the capacity of the slicer? Too large a product may rub
against the sharpener assembly causing interference to normal slicing.
3. Is the product positioned correctly and held securely on the product table? If not, product
may move or rotate during slicing operation resulting in partial or thick and thin slices.
Make sure you are using the fence properly (839A only).
4. Are all components held securely in place? A loose product table or pusher can cause
inconsistent slices.
Knife not sharpening
1. Are sharpening procedures being followed exactly as explained in this manual (page 10).
2. Are sharpening stones clean? If not, clean according to instructions given in “Sharpener
Maintenance” section (page 7).
3. Is the knife clean? If coated with food fats, sharpener stones cannot sharpen. Clean per
instructions (page 9).
4. Are sharpening stones making solid contact with the knife? If not, have your Berkel
serviceman adjust them.
5. Are sharpening stones severely worn and not making contact with the knife? Are the sharpening
stones cracked or chipped? If so, have your Berkel serviceman replace and adjust the new
stones to the proper position for best sharpening results.
