Sharpening
Sharpen only when necessary. Too frequent or prolonged sharpening will pre-
maturely wear the knife and/or stones. The knife should be sharpened when you
notice wavy slices or excessive scrap. Only sharpen the knife after it has been
cleaned. You cannot effectively sharpen a dirty knife.
1. If it is an automatic slicer, make sure the engagement knob is in the manual
position, by pushing in (to the left) the knob on the right side of the support
arm.
2. Make sure the product table is pulled all the way to the front of the slicer and
the thickness control knob is completely closed.
3. Place the top tab of the sharpener into the slot of the product table. Clip the
bottom clip of the sharpener over the end of the product table.
4. Open the thickness control knob as far as it will go, fully exposing the knife.
5. Turn the slicer on and gently push the product table towards the knife just as
if you were slicing product. Once both the sharpening and deburring stones
make contact with the knife, remain there for 2-3 seconds and then pull the
product table back to the home position.
6. Turn off the slicer and close the thickness control knob.
7. Unclip the sharpener from the product table using the bottom clip. It can be
cleaned in the sink and then stored in a drawer.
8. After sharpening, clean and sanitize the slicer as outlined on page 8.
