Using the Berkel MB bread slicer is a piece of cake. First, make sure the slicer is plugged into a 115 - volt power outlet. Then, place your bread loaf in the slicer. Lift the operator lever, and the slicer will start working. It will slice the bread from the top, and in about 8 seconds, you'll have your perfectly sliced bread. When using the slicer, always keep your hands away from the blades. Don't try to force large or irregularly shaped loaves that are bigger than the 15.5 - inch cutting capacity. Also, make sure to turn off the slicer using the on/off switch when you're done. For maintenance, after each use, remove the scrap pan and empty it. You can clean the pan and all the stainless - steel contact areas with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. The blades are long - lasting, but if they get dull over time, they're easy to replace. Just follow the simple instructions in the manual. Keep the slicer in a dry place when not in use to prevent any damage. And remember, it comes with a 1 - year warranty for most parts, so if you run into any problems, don't hesitate to contact the service team.
