The Berkel 823E-PLUS meat slicer is a top - notch kitchen tool. It features a 1 - speed, 1/4 HP knife motor that's totally enclosed and permanently lubricated. The exterior has a sleek finish of stainless steel and sanitary anodized aluminum, ensuring durability and hygiene. The 30 - degree product table, along with a removable meat pusher, makes feeding products easier. With a carriage that can handle food up to 7.5 inches (195mm) wide and 6 inches (152mm) high, it's great for various food items. You can precisely adjust the slice thickness up to 14mm. Made in Italy, this slicer also comes with a Berkel's hollow ground chromium - plated, carbon steel knife and a built - in sharpener. The permanent, tapered guard covers the non - slicing part of the knife even when the center plate is removed. It's easy to clean and disassembles quickly without tools, perfect for limited kitchen counter space. Furnished in 115/60/1, 2.5 amps, AC, and ETL listed, it meets North American product safety standards. It's also NSF certified, focusing on food safety.

Using the Berkel 823E - PLUS meat slicer is quite simple. First, make sure it's plugged into a grounded receptacle using the attached 6 - foot cord. Switch it on using the positive, moisture - protected on/off switch with a power light indicator. Place the meat or other food items on the 30 - degree product table and use the removable meat pusher to guide it towards the blade. Adjust the slice thickness according to your needs. When you're done, switch off the machine. For cleaning, the unit can be quickly disassembled without tools. Wipe down the stainless steel and anodized aluminum surfaces. Don't forget to clean behind the knife as the ring guard design provides easy access. Sharpen the knife regularly using the top - mounted two - stone sharpener to keep it in good condition. Always follow the safety guidelines as it's ETL and NSF certified. Avoid overloading the carriage with food that's too large for its capacity.
