sharp Blade hazard.
Blades are sharp and can cause cuts and
amputation.
To avoid injury from sharp blades, handle with caution. Only trained
personal should operate equipment or preform maintenance.
Prior to rst use, it is important to clean the equipment. Wash new blades
with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly to remove the thin protective oil
lm.
1. Place slicer on a table or counter. Position the InstaSlice Table Stop over
a table edge to hold the equipment in place
2. Before each use, always check for proper blade tightness and equipment
cleanliness. Check for broken, nicked or dull blades and if found, replace
blade assembly.
3. This equipment should be used to slice soft vegetables such as
tomatoes, mushrooms, strawberries, etc. Hard foods such as onions,
potatoes, lemons, etc. will cause blades to break. Use a Tomato King
Scooper to remove the stem scar of the tomato. For best results, the
tomatoes should be clean and wet before slicing them in the equipment.
4. Spray the plastic platform and blades with water to reduce friction and
repeat as needed during use.
5. Place the tomato top down on the platform of the slicer against the
pusher head. Place one hand on the pusher head handle and one hand
on the knob on top of the slicer. With a quick push of the pusher head,
push the tomato through the blades catching the slices into a pan placed
at the end of the slicer.
6. Repeat this process until you have prepared enough food for your daily
needs.
7. Rinse blades immediately. Failure to do so will shorten the life of the
blades.
