Using the Berkel MB bread slicer is super easy. First, make sure the slicer is plugged into a 115 - volt outlet. Place the loaf you want to slice in the machine. Then, lift the operator lever. The motor will start, and the blades will begin cutting the bread from the top. In about 8 seconds, you'll have a perfectly sliced loaf. When using the slicer, always keep your hands away from the blades. Don't try to force a larger loaf than the 15.5 - inch cutting capacity into the machine. Also, remember to turn off the slicer using the on/off switch when you're done. For maintenance, it's important to clean the slicer regularly. The removable scrap pan should be emptied after each use. The stainless - steel parts that come in contact with the bread can be wiped down with a damp cloth. If the blades become dull, they're easy to replace. Just follow the instructions in the user manual. The slicer comes with a 1 - year warranty for parts, service, and travel (excluding wear parts), so if you have any issues, reach out to the customer service team.
