Stainless Steel Blade; Rubber Feet - Chef's Choice 615A Manual De Instrucciones

FOOD CARRIAGE
To remove the carriage, set the thickness control knob to 0, slide the carriage control button to
the "Remove" position (Fig. 5). Slide carriage away from blade until it comes off its track. Clean
carriage guide and lubricate lightly with a few drops of acid-free light household oil such as
sewing machine oil (Fig. 6).

STAINLESS STEEL BLADE

To remove the cutting blade, insert a coin in the slot of the blade fastening screw (11) and turn
the screw clockwise until the blade retaining screw is fully removed (Fig. 7). Carefully lift the
blade off. Do not touch the blade edge. Clean the cutting blade and the motor housing behind it
with a clean damp cloth. Lubricate the blade support posts and the drive gear shown in Figure
8 with Vaseline. To replace, carefully align the blade on its hub so the blade and drive gears fully
engage. Turn blade fastening screw counterclockwise to tighten. (Do not over-tighten).
CAREFUL! SHARP BLADE!
THICKNESS GUIDE PLATE
You can, if you wish, remove the thickness guide plate for cleaning.
Note: To reduce the risk of injury, always remove the blade before removing the thickness
guide plate.
To remove the thickness guide plate, turn the thickness control knob counterclockwise, past "0"
to the "PLATE RELEASE" position. Pull the thickness guide plate off the slicer (Fig. 9). After
cleaning this plate, lightly lubricate the two steel rods with Vaseline.
To reattach the thickness guide plate, insert the two steel rods into the holes provided on the
carriage track. Make sure the thickness control knob is aligned with the "PLATE RELEASE"
position. Now push the guide plate fully into its position and turn the knob clockwise to the
"0" position.

RUBBER FEET

Clean with grease-removing cleaner, mild detergent in water or alcohol.
SLICE DEFLECTOR
The Model 615A is equipped with a detachable
slice deflector (item #9, see page 4) to ensure
smooth deflection of each slice onto the tray.
This can be removed for cleaning. Always first
remove the slicer blade and thickness control
plate as shown in Figures 8 and 9. Grasp the
blade deflector with thumb and forefinger and
pull it out. It should snap off easily. Always
reinstall before installing the blade or thickness
control plate.
