Adım 1 Remove the blade carefully

Maintenance is fairly simple but must be regular to maintain hygiene, which is important both for the user and the machine.
Verify the slicer is unplugged and follow your model’s instructions to take out the blade.
Remove the blade carefully.

Adım 2 Clean slicer components

Use a damp cloth or cold water with mild detergent to wipe away any food residue from the blade and surfaces.
Apply a small amount of food safe lubricant or petroleum jelly on the gear to keep it running smoothly.

Adım 3 Sharpening considerations

Have a professional sharpen the blade, especially if it is wavy or serrated, to maintain cutting quality.

Adım 4 Slicing cured or hard meats

Use a thin slicing setting to reduce extra pressure on the blade when cutting firm cured foods.

Adım 5 Slicing softer ingredients

Lightly coat the slicer surface near the blade with cooking oil to prevent sticky foods from clinging.

Adım 6 Slicing bread

Keep in mind that bread can dull the blade faster, so consider a suitable slicer or upgrade if you slice bread often.

Adım 7 Slicing vegetables

Adjust thickness to slice potatoes, cucumbers, or radishes evenly without manual effort.
