By turning the thickness controller
anti-clockwise
, the feed plate is
lowered
and thicknesses of 0 mm to approx.
6mm can be achieved. The actual thickness of the slices depends on the firmness of the ingredient. The “0” to
“6” markings on the thickness controller are a guide to setting the required thickness. Turning the controller
clockwise
raises
the feed plate and the thickness is reduced (down to 0 mm or “lock” – see “Caution” below).
The selected thickness can be checked and adjusted on the cutting thickness scale.

Caution!
To prevent injuries when not in use, the Nicer Slicer has an integrated cutting protection mechanism.
In the “lock” position on the thickness scale, the feed plate is raised above the height of the blade
and thus both prevents the stainless steel V blade from wearing during storage and protects against injury.
To protect against injury to persons and damage to the blades, always replace the blade protector after
each use! Take hold of the grip extension and pull it over the stainless steel V-blades. Take care to en-
sure that the 3 clips on the underside of the blade protector click into place under the stainless steel V-
blades. Positioning of the blade protector can be made easier by pressing your thumb in the middle.
In the “unlock” position, the feed plate fixing is released and the entire section of the device can be
removed (e.g. to make cleaning easier). Please note that the stainless steel V blade is then completely
exposed and there is a serious risk of injury. To re-assemble, insert the side guide rails on the feed plate
into the recesses on the frame of the machine and push the feed plate fully into the frame. Then set the
thickness controller to the “lock” position and the feed plate is securely fixed in the machine once again.
5.2 Slicing
Set the required cutting thickness as described above.
Place the Nicer Slicer securely in the base of the Nice Dicer Fusion, as described above.
Then hold the handle of the Nicer Slicer securely with your weaker hand
(your left hand if you are right handed, your right hand if you are left-
handed). With your other, free hand, feed the ingredient to be cut in quick
movements away from the handle, over the feed plate and through the
stainless steel V blade. This will cut even slices of the ingredient as you do
so. For reasons of safety you should always use the Handy Hopper or the
food holder with smaller pieces of food or small remnants of larger pieces
of food (see “Use of the food holder” and “Use of the Handy Hopper”).
