Chef'sChoice 632 Electric Food Slicer

Designed for household use, this electric food slicer operates either upright for meats and cheeses or tilts 30 degrees to gravity-feed vegetables, fruits, and bread to the blade, making it easy to make sandwiches for the family or slice a ham or a block of cheese. The 100-watt condenser motor operates quietly and the carriage travels smoothly. The slicer's 7-inch, surgical stainless-steel blade removes for cleaning and sharpening. A calibrated thickness-adjustment knob permits slicing from paper thin to about 3/5 of an inch. A plastic tray for catching sliced food comes with the slicer. Safety feature...s include a hidden childproof switch that prevents the slicer from turning on and an automatic on/off switch on the thickness control knob that shuts the unit off as soon as the thumb releases pressure. (The on/off switch can also be set for continuous operation.) The parts disassemble easily for cleaning. Made of rugged plastic and stainless steel, the slicer weighs 11 pounds and measures 14 inches wide, 10-1/2 inches high, and 11-1/2 inches deep. It carries a one-year warranty against defects.
