BLADE SHARPENING
Before proceeding, clean the machine accurately as explained in the previous paragraphs.
WARNING
Sharpening can be done only up to 12 mm of the blade diameter value. Beyond this value, the BLADE
MUST BE REPLACED ONLY by personnel AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
SHARPENING VERSIONS WITH BUILT-IN SHARPENER
To sharpen the blade periodically as soon as the cutting capacity decreases. Please proceed as per the
following instructions:
1. After disconnecting form the mains, clean the blade accurately using denaturized alcohol to degrease it.
2. Loosen the knob and turn the sharpener by 180° and insert the wheels on the slicer blade. Relock the
knob.
3. Operate the switch and press the button.
4. Allow the blade to rotate for about 30 to 40 seconds then use the switch to stop it. Brush a pencil lightly on
the external side of the blade to check for a slight spud.
We advise performing this operation with the utmost care as the blade is extremely sharp.
5. If some spud is found, operate the switch again for 3 to 4 seconds by pressing the buttons 4 and 5 at the
same time.
DO NOT PROLONG THIS OPERATION BEYOND THE FEW SECONDS MENTIONED OTHERWISE THE
BLADE EDGE WILL WARP.
6. After completing sharpening, we advise cleaning the wheels using a small brush and alcohol.
7. Now return the sharpener to its original position.
