Using the Berkel 825E - PLUS meat slicer is easy. First, make sure it's plugged into a grounded receptacle using the attached 6 - foot cord. Turn on the slicer using the on/off switch with the power light indicator. Adjust the slice thickness to your desired level, up to 14 mm. Place your meat, cheese, or other product on the 30° table and use the removable meat pusher to feed it towards the knife. Remember, the carriage can handle products up to a certain size, so don't try to slice anything too large. When it comes to safety, always keep your hands away from the knife. The permanent, tapered guard is there to protect you, but still be careful. After each use, turn off the slicer and unplug it. Then, you can easily disassemble it without tools for cleaning. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean the stainless steel and aluminum parts. Rinse well and let it dry completely before reassembling. For maintenance, use the top - mounted two - stone knife sharpener regularly to keep the blade sharp. Check the motor and other components periodically for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, stop using the slicer and contact a professional for repair. Also, since it's designed for less than 1 hour of daily usage, don't overwork it to ensure its long - term performance.
