Using your Berkel 829A - PLUS meat slicer is easy. First, make sure it's properly plugged into a grounded receptacle using the 6 - foot cord and 5 - 15P plug. You can adjust the slice thickness according to your needs, with a maximum of 0.75 inches. Place your meat, cheese, or other products on the 45° product table and use the meat pusher to guide it through. The interlock on the gauge plate makes this process smooth.
When it comes to safety, always keep your hands away from the knife. Make sure the on/off switch is in the 'off' position when not in use. The power light indicator will show you if the machine is powered on.
For maintenance, the slicer is designed for easy cleaning. You can disassemble it quickly without any tools. After each use, wipe down the parts with a damp cloth. The stainless steel and anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion. The built - in sharpener will keep the knife edge sharp, but if you notice a significant decrease in slicing performance, you may need to check the knife for any damage. Also, keep in mind that this slicer is meant for average daily usage. Don't overload it with large volumes of products continuously.
