2. Always TURN OFF slicer when NOT IN USE.
3. Always TURN thickness control knob as far to the right as possible when NOT IN USE.
4. TURN OFF and UNPLUG machine before CLEANING or SERVICING.
DIRTY STONES CANNOT SHARPEN!!!!
If the sharpening stones have become coated with food fats because of failure to clean the knife before
sharpening, they should be cleaned or replaced. Coated and dirty stones will never sharpen effectively.
1. To remove the sharpener, grasp the top handle with the left hand and lift from the slicer.
WARNING
THE NEXT STEPS WILL EXPOSE THE KNIFE.
2. Unscrew the sharpener cover locking knob. The sharpener and its cover will come apart. Clean the
cover with water and detergent. Carefully clean around the stones.
3. Check the stones. If they do not turn freely, the sharpener stone shafts must be cleaned and oiled
(use Berkel USDA-authorized oil, P/N 4675-00182). If the stones are dirty and coated with food
fats, they should be cleaned or replaced.
4. Oil sharpener shafts. Place a few drops of Berkel oil on each shaft. Move the sharpening lever back
and forth to make sure that the stones move in and out easily. Oil mounting post.
