CAUTION:
!
!
Blades are sharp and can cause injury. Check machine before using. Be sure machine is clean. Check for
broken, nicked or dull blades and if found, replace blade assembly. Check to ensure that the pusher head sits
down completely on the rubber bumpers. Lubricate if necessary using a light coating of mineral oil, Petrol Gel
or food grade lubricant. DO NOT LUBRICATE WITH COOKING OIL AS IT WILL BECOME STICKY.
PRIOR TO USING YOUR EQUIPMENT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CLEAN THE UNIT.
WASH NEW BLADES WITH WARM SOAPY WATER AND RINSE THOROUGHLY TO
REMOVE THE THIN PROTECTIVE OIL FILM.
CAUTION:
!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLACE SLICER ON A TABLE OR COUNTER. POSITION THE INSTASLICE TABLE
STOP OVER A TABLE EDGE TO HOLD THE MACHINE IN PLACE.
CAUTION:
!
1. Before each use, always check for proper blade tightness and unit cleanliness. Check for broken, nicked
or dull blades and if found, replace blade assembly.
2. This unit should be used to slice soft vegetables such as tomatoes, mushrooms, strawberries, etc. Hard
foods such as onions, potatoes, lemons, etc. will cause blade breakage. Use a Tomato King Scooper to
remove the stem scar of the tomato. For best results, the tomatoes should be clean and wet before slicing
them in the machine.
3. Spray the plastic platform and blades with water to reduce friction and repeat as needed during use.
4. Place the tomato top down on the platform of the slicer against the pusher head. Place one hand on the
pusher head handle and one hand on the knob on top of the slicer. With a quick push of the pusher head,
push the tomato through the blades catching the slices into a pan placed at the end of the slicer.
5. Repeat this process until you have prepared enough food for your daily needs.
6. Rinse blades immediately. Failure to do so will shorten the life of the blades.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
To insure optimal performance of the equipment, clean the machine after every use. Food acids corrode the
cutting blades, ruining the cutting edges and reducing the cutting blade life.
Refer to the illustration for additional assistance in reviewing the following cleaning instructions.
BLADES ARE SHARP AND CAN CAUSE INJURY. NEVER USE MACHINE UNLESS
ALL FOUR RUBBER FEET ARE IN PLACE.
CAUTION:
!
1. Place the pusher head in its most “OPEN” position by retracting the handle.
2. Rinse or spray off the machine thoroughly with HOT water. You may want to immerse the complete
machine in warm soapy water first.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT’D)
3. DO NOT WIPE BLADES OR USE SCRUB PADS IN THIS MACHINE. WIPING ACROSS THE SHARP
EDGE OF BLADES CAN CAUSE INJURY AND WILL DULL THE BLADES.
4. Do not put this machine in a dishwasher or dish machine with soaps, detergents, or other alkaline
chemicals that can harm the machine.
5. After cleaning, let the machine air dry.
6. Lubricate sliding parts with mineral oil or Petro Gel after each use. Never use cooking oil as it will cause
the machine to become sticky!
BLADE / PUSHER HEAD MAINTENANCE
1. Examine the pusher head fingers. If they are nicked or burred smooth the rough edges with a small flat file.
The spaces between the fingers must be uniform. Straighten any bent fingers.
2. Check the clearance between the pusher head fingers and the blades. Make sure they do not rest on or
touch the blades at any point when you move the head through its full travel. If there is contact,
adjustments must be made. PUSHER HEAD FINGERS MUST NEVER CONTACT BLADES.
Adjust Pusher Head Finger spacing by placing a screwdriver between Pusher Head Fingers and gently
rotate up/down. You may also adjust the entire Pusher Head Assembly by loosening the set screws
underneath a rotating the guide rod as needed – tighten set screws.
REPLACING BLADE ASSEMBLY
1. Individual blades cannot be replaced. Replacement blades are available in assemblies only.
2. Loosen the two thumbscrews on the top of the machine.
3. Push the top of the blade assembly from the back towards the front and lift out. Replace in the opposite
manner and tighten the two thumbscrews.
4. Dispose of used blade assemblies properly.
KEEP THE SHARP BLADE EDGES AWAY FROM HANDS WHEN HANDLING THE
MACHINE.
