If the slicer is out of stock, you can place a pre-order with us.

Add the product to your basket and checkout as normal, with full payment upfront. Upon receiving your order, we will reach out to you with the expected delivery date.

When we receive the product in stock, we will aim to fulfill and ship you order ASAP.

Please note: Any other items ordered alongside a pre-order item will be held and shipped alongside the pre-order item. If you wish to receive the other items sooner, please place a separate order.

Home Line Plus and Red Line can cut cured meats, cooked meat, fruit, vegetables, bread, cured fish and seafood.

It is not advisable to slice frozen products, as doing so may damage the blade.

We recommend slicing roasts or other cooked meat after cooling. Hot, and therefore very tender, meat does not make for optimal slicing. It is preferable to let it cool for a few hours in the refrigerator.

When slicing bread, we recommend that you:

1. Do not slice loaves of bread that are too soft, or have too thick a crust.
2. Slice the product slowly and do not compress it as not to compromise the integrity of the slice.
3. Catch the slice of bread with your hand to keep it from breaking.
4. Avoid making slices that are too thin.

Make sure that the slicer is stable and positioned flat. If the product is cured and hard, it is advisable to move the carriage slowly to slice. If the edge of the blade is altered, sharpen it as described in the manual supplied with each slicer.

If you frequently need to slice cheese or other sticky products, we recommend Red Line's non-stick and rough material versions with easy-cleaning technology finish.

Slicing cheese with the other versions of Red line and Home line can be more difficult because the smooth surfaces of them allow the cheese to stick to the blade disturbing the cut.

We recommend slicing hard, dry and compact cheeses that allow a good sliding and do not tire the engine.

When the operator feels too much resistance when sliding the carriage, the guide bars should be lubricated. It is advisable to lubricate with acid-free synthetic oils and not with vegetable oils which, once dry, could make the situation worse.

HOME LINE ⇒ lubricate the visible carriage guide bar. See the user guide video for further information.

RED LINE ⇒ lubricate the carriage guide bar under the slicer packaging. See the user guide video for further information.

#BerkelCare products:

• Cleaning Kit
• Maintenance Kit
• Repair Kit

Vaseline oil is a recommended alternative.

All Berkel slicers sold on pasta.kitchen come with a UK plug as standard.

If you require a different plug please contact us.

Before cleaning make sure to: remove the plug from the power socket, close the blade, remove the removable parts of the slicer.

Cleaning products: use only lukewarm water and biodegradable foaming detergent for dishwashers, using a soft, spongy cloth.

Wash the removed parts separately and reassemble them. We do not recommend washing these parts (blade cover, slice deflector, carriage) in the dishwasher.

We strongly recommend hand washing in warm water to ensure product integrity and durability. In any case we suggest drying the knife after each washing.

Do not use abrasive fabrics or sponges.

Do not wash in the dishwasher; sudden changes in temperature could damage the handles and the logo; rubbing of the tablewear together could damage the blades.
