To assist in producing consistent slices and also to reduce blade damage do not force onions onto carrier plate. If onion touches blades at this point, slices will vary and blades will be damaged.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Lubricate guide rods with Petrogel or vegetable oil daily, before use.

After each washing, add vegetable oil to bearing studs. See exploded view for locations.

Check guide block retaining screws for tightness.

Bent, nicked, and dull blades must be replaced immediately. Always change complete sets of blades. Do not mix used blades with new blades.

CLEANING
