INTENDED USE
The food slicer is used for the
slicing of household foods.
If the appliance is used for a
purpose other than this, or if it is
operated incorrectly, severe inju
ries may occur or the appliance
may be damaged. All warranty
and liability claims will be ren
dered null and void in this case.
BEFORE USING THE
APPLIANCE FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Preparation
Remove the appliance carefully
from the packaging. Remove all
packaging parts and keep these
together with the packaging in a
safe place. Clean the appli
ance before allowing it to come
into contact with any food (see
CLEANING).
Setting-up the appliance
•
Set the appliance down on a
flat, non-skid surface close to a
mains socket.
Using a small amount of
force, push the slice carriage (8)
vertically into the guide groove on
the appliance until it audibly locks
into place.
Slide the leftover holder (9)
onto the slice carriage's handle.
Unwind the power cord (5) to
the length required from the cable
compartment (10) under the
appliance and insert the power
plug into the socket.
SLICING
Use the slice thickness adjust
ment knob (2) to set the required
thickness.
Note:
The slice thickness adjustment
scale is not a millimetre scale. For
safety reasons, the "0" position is
designed to cover the blade.
Place the food to be sliced
onto the slice carriage (8). Use
the leftover holder (9) to press it
up against the stop plate (11).
Protect your hands, by always
using the slice carriage and,
where applicable, the leftover
holder. Exception: Excessively
large foods to be sliced.
Turn the appliance on using
the power switch (1). Two operat
ing modes are available:
Intermittent operation:
Press the power switch and slide
it towards the arrow until you
feel some resistance. The rotary
blade (6) runs as long as the
power switch is pressed and held
down in this position.
Continuous operation:
Press the power switch and slide
it towards the arrow beyond the
resistance point until it latches
into place. The rotary blade runs
without the power switch having
to be pressed and held down,
until you push the switch back
into the "0" position.
Note:
Never use the appliance for more
than a maximum of 5 minutes in
continuous operation.
•
With the appliance running,
gently feed the food to be sliced
into the path of the rotary blade.
•
Once slicing has been com
pleted, wait until the rotary blade
has come to a complete stop.
•
After each use, turn the slice
thickness adjustment knob to the
"0" position, in order to cover up
the sharp rotating blade and to
avoid any injuries.
Pull the slice tray (3) to the
right and out of the appliance.
CLEANING
Caution:
Switch the appliance off before
cleaning it; pull the power plug
out off the socket and turn the
slice thickness adjustment
knob (2) 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.
Note:
Over time, an accumulation of
food residue may cause damage
to the surface of the rotary blade,
causing it to rust.
Preparation
• Remove the slice tray (3) and
the leftover holder (9).
Pull the slice carriage (8)
forward and then lift it up and out
of the guide groove.
Removing the rotary blade:
Place a suitable coin on the
blade catch (7) and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction.
•
Take hold of the rotary blade at
its rotational centre and remove it.
Cleaning after each use
•
Wipe down the housing and
all removed parts, including the
rotary blade, with a damp cloth.
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.
Note:
Do not use any abrasive cleans-
ers, sponges with rough surfaces
or hard brushes to clean the
appliance.
