1. Four-hour cleaning timer. This timer compliments any HAACP procedures your business has
in place, by alerting the users when they are getting near to four hours since making their rst
slice and stopping the slicer for cleaning when four hours is reached.
2. Timer that turns off the slicer after 30 seconds of non-usage. This is adjustable in 5 second
increments from 5 to 60 seconds.
3. Home to Start feature that only allows the slicer to be started when the carriage is in its most
forward position, the farthest position from the knife
4. Close to Stop feature, which turns the slicer off when the slice thickness dial is closed from an
open position.
5. Carriage Tilt feature that does not allow the slicer to be turned on when the carriage is tilted
for cleaning. The only way to tilt the carriage is to have it in the home position and the slice
thickness dial completely closed. When the carriage is tilted, the slice thickness dial cannot be
