Introduction The Chef’sChoice® professional electric food slicer comes equipped with a specially designed multi-purpose blade for slicing a large variety of foods including bread, meat, cheese, vegetables and fruits. VariTilt ® Feature The Model 645 operates in either the upright position which is ideal for slicing meats and cheese or tilts the carriage a full 30° into true “gravity feed” position for effortless slicing of breads, vegetables and fruits.
Instructions — “Chute” Attachment and Use The Model 645 Food Slicer comes equipped with a convenient “chute” (see Figure 4) to help slice food items when the slicer is operated in the “gravity feed” mode. To mount the chute: 1. Remove the food carriage from the slicer. 2. Note the “engagement clip” on the “L” shaped chute. Position the “engagement clip” on the underside of the food carriage behind the gray plastic lip. 3.
To Slice 1. Plug cord into 120V three prong grounded, AC outlet. 2. Hold the food pusher with the right hand with the thumb behind the guard, in contact with the automatic on/off switch plate (see Figures 8 and 9). With light thumb pressure on the switch plate, the unit will turn on and the blade will start to turn. As soon as the thumb pressure is released from the switch, the motor will turn off. 3.
After cleaning the food carriage, lubricate the carriage guides with a few drops of acid-free light household oil such as sewing machine oil (Figure 11). To replace the carriage, follow the above directions in reverse. Removing the Cutting Blade: Periodically, you should clean the back of the blade and the motor housing behind the blade. To remove the cutting blade unplug the power cord, and back the food carriage away from the blade.
NOTICE!! This Chef’sChoice® electric food slicer has been equipped with a special safety switch to prevent motor overheating. This self resettable switch will shut off the motor if its temperature gets too high. If this happens, please take the following steps: 1. Make sure slicer is turned off. 2. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet. 3. Allow the slicer to cool off (approx. 15-30 min.). 4. After the slicer has cooled off, plug the power cord into the outlet. The slicer should now operate normally.
