Operating
Before first Use
Clean all parts of the appliance before using the first time as
described below in chapter
“Cleaning and Storing”.
The smell of
“hot metal” might be noticed when using the food slicer
for the first few times. It is caused by the biological lubricant and will
disappear.
Setting up the Appliance
Make sure the appliance sits steadily on a solid level surface.
Insert the food retainer with hand protection (3) on the feeding
carriage. Only use the food slicer with feeding carriage and food
retainer unless it is not possible due to the size and shape of the
food!
Connect the appliance with a power socket. The food slicer is
now ready for use.
Operating
1. Place a collecting tray or a suitable plate below the blade to
collect the slices.
2. Use the thickness adjusting knob (1) to adjust the slicing
thickness according to your needs (max. 13 mm).
3. Pull the feeding carriage (5) all the way to the front and place the
food to be sliced in front of the food retainer (3).
4. Push the safety switch (8) towards the ON/OFF button (7) and
hold it in that position. Then additionally press the ON/OFF button
(7) so it audibly snaps in place. The LED of the ON/OFF button
lights up and indicates the operating status of the device. The
blade rotates.
5. Gently push the food with the food retainer against the food guide
(2) and then into the rotating blade (4). Always make sure to keep
you thumb behind the thumb guard. Keep your hands away from
the rotating blade!
6. If the blade slows down while slicing, move it a little bit back and
start pushing again with less pressure. Do not overload it.
