USING THE VEGETABLE
PREPARATION ATTACHMENT
The large feed compartment is used mainly
for bulk feeding of all sorts of products and
for cutting larger products such as cabbage.
The large feed compartment is also used when
the product is to be cut in a definite direction,
such as tomatoes and lemons. Place/stack the
products as shown in the picture.
The built-in feed tube is used (picture) for
cutting long products such as cucumbers,
see picture.
ASSEMBLING
Place the ejector plate on the shaft, turn the
ejector plate and press it down into its coupling.
Place the chosen cutting tool on the shaft and
rotate the cutting tool so that it drops into its
coupling.
During dicing: place the dicing grid with the
sharp edge of the knives upward, so that the
recess in the side of the dicing grid fits into the
guide groove on the machine base. Then place
the slicer so that it drops down into its coupling.
Place the vegetable preparation attachment
on the machine base so that the text “Close
Open” is at 5 o’clock in relation to the outlet
of the machine base and turn the vegetable
preparation attachment clockwise as far as it
will go and it is firmly in position.
DISMANTLING
Turn the vegetable preparation attachment
clockwise as far as it will go, then lift it off.
Turn the cutting tool clockwise and lift it off.
If you have been using a dicing grid, lift it off.
Lift off the ejector plate.
USING THE SPEED CONTROL

machine is switched off. In the ”I” position the
machine operates continuously.
CLEANING
Read all of the instructions before you begin
to clean the machine.
BEFORE CLEANING: Always switch off the
machine and remove the power supply plug
from the socket. Alternatively, if the machine
does not have a plug, open the isolating switch.
Remove all the removable parts that are to
be cleaned
CLEANING IN A DISHWASHER: All removable
parts are machine washable.
CLEANING BY HAND: Always use hand
dishwashing liquid.
CLEANING MATERIALS: Use a dish brush to
clean the food zones. The knife shaft in the
center of the machine can be cleaned with a
small bottlebrush. Use a damp cloth to wipe
down the other surfaces on the machine.
DISINFECTING: Use isopropyl alcohol (65–
70%). Isopropyl alcohol is highly inflammable
so use caution when applying it.
WARNING:
• Do not pour or spray water onto the sides
of the machine.
• Do not use boiling or hot water.
• Do not use sodium hypochlorite (chlorine)
or any agent containing this substance.
• Do not use sharp objects or any objects not
intended for the purpose of cleaning.
• Do not use abrasive detergents or cleaning
products.
AVOID: Do not use cleaning sponges with
scouring pads (e.g. Scotch-Brite™) unless
absolutely necessary. This roughens the
surface and makes it less water repellent.
ADVICE ON CARE:
• Clean the machine immediately after use.
• Dry the machine immediately after cleaning
to avoid oxidation and discoloration of the
surface.
INFORMATION: If the machine is left damp
for longer periods stains will appear. These
stains are harmless but the original surface
will lose its luster. Vegetables and fruit contain
acids. Depending on which products are
processed this will have an effect on the metal
after varying periods of time. It is therefore
important to clean the machine immediately
after processing salty and acidic products.
