• After each use, turn the slice
thickness adjustment knob to the
"0ʺ position to cover up the sharp
rotary blade and to avoid any
injuries.
CLEANING
CAUTION
The rotary blade is extremely
sharp. Before cleaning, turn the
slice thickness adjustment (14)
knob to the "0" position.
Clean the food slicer regularly
to prevent the accumulation of
food residue. The rotary blade
must also be cleaned regularly
as described below to prevent its
surface from rusting.
Info:
Over time, an accumulation
of food residue may damage
the surface of the rotary blade,
causing it to rust.
Preparation
C
Slide the slicing board (12) to
the right out of the appliance (on
the amano
3/5
/piatto
3/5
model). The
board can only be pulled out to
the right.
• Remove the left-over
holder (7).
L
Remove the slice carriage (5):
• Pull the slice carriage fully
towards you.
•
Use the finger protection
on the slice carriage to pull it
upwards. The slice carriage
detaches from each locking
pin (6a and 6b) of the carriage
guidance element (6) in turn.
Ensure that the slice carriage
does not tilt to the left.
Remove the rotary blade (8):
• Keep a tight grip on the rotary
blade from above during the
entire removal process.
•
Open the blade catch (2) by
turning the locking screw (2b) in
an anti-clockwise direction using
a suitably sized coin.
• Remove the sealing
washer (2a).
Press the blade out from the
opposite side and take hold of it
at its rotational centre.
Cleaning after each use
• Wipe down the housing and
all removed parts, including the
rotary blade, with a damp cloth.
Occasional cleaning
• Wash the slicing board in water
and detergent (amano
3/5
/piatto
3/5
model). Do not use aggressive
abrasive cleaners.
• Rub food-safe oil into the
slicing board to keep it in the best
condition (amano
5
/piatto
5
model).
• Give all removed parts, includ-
ing the rotary blade, a thorough
wash in warm soapy water (not in
the dishwasher!).
• Clean the housing behind the
blade using a dry cloth/brush.
Info:
Do not use any abrasive
cleaners, sponges with rough
surfaces or hard brushes.
• The suction feet must be free
of grease and crumbs to ensure a
firm grip. We therefore recom
-
mend that you clean the suction
feet regularly.
• Dry all parts that you have
washed.
• Grease the rotary blade's gear
wheel with a little ritter mainte-
nance grease (or alternatively
with a little Vaseline).
Repeat the steps above in
reverse order to replace the
rotary blade (8). When doing
so, ensure that the sealing
washer (2a) fits exactly into the
slot provided.
MAINTENANCE
Your food slicer is mainte-
nance-free. However, we
recommend that you occasionally
apply a little extra ritter mainte-
nance grease or Vaseline to the
rails of the slice carriage to keep
them lubricated and ensure that
the carriage continues to move
easily.
STORAGE
Keep the appliance out of the
reach of children.
