the power switch (17). Two oper
ating modes are available:
Intermittent operation

until you move the switch to the
"0" position.
Info:
Never use the appliance for more

•
When finished slicing, wait until
the rotary blade has come to a
complete stop.
• After each use, turn the slice
thickness adjusting knob (3) to
the "0" position to cover the sharp
rotating blade and to avoid any
injuries.
CLEANING
Caution:
Switch the appliance off before
cleaning it; pull the power plug
out of the socket and turn the
slice thickness adjustment
knob (3) 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, caus-
ing it to rust.

Cleaning after each use
• Wipe down the housing and

Occasional cleaning
• 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 clean-
ers, sponges with rough surfaces
or hard brushes to clean the
appliance.

wheel with a little ritter mainte
nance grease (or alternatively
with a little Vaseline).

Fit the rotary blade back into
the appliance.

onto its rails.
MAINTENANCE
Your food slicer is maintenance
free. However, we recommend
that you occasionally apply a little
extra ritter maintenance grease
or Vaseline to the rails of the slice
carriage to keep them lubricated
and ensure that the carriage
continues to move easily.
