Using the Berkel MB bread slicer is easy. First, make sure the slicer is plugged into a 115 - volt, 60 - hertz power source. Then, choose the desired slice thickness from the pre - set options. Place a loaf of bread into the slicer and lift the operator lever. The motor will start, and the blades will begin slicing the bread. Wait for about 8 seconds for each loaf to be sliced. After use, unplug the slicer. Remove the scrap pan and empty it. You can wipe the stainless - steel bagging trough and other product - contact areas with a damp cloth. If the blades get dull over time, you can easily replace them. Remember, the 1 - year warranty doesn't cover wear parts. Keep the slicer in a dry place and avoid getting water into the motor or electrical components. When cleaning, don't use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the powder - coat finish or the stainless - steel parts.
