BEFORE FIRST USE
■
Before first use, remove all packaging materials including promotion stickers and
labels from the food slicer.
■
Wash the removable parts that come into contact with food (removed cutting disc
A6
, food carriage
A2
, food pusher
A8
and removable tray
A12
) in warm water using
kitchen detergent. Then thoroughly rinse these parts under flowing water and dry
thoroughly with a wiping cloth.
■
Using a dry or lightly dampened cloth, also clean the outer parts of the appliance
and then wipe it dry. Never submerge the base motor unit in water or any other
liquid!
Attention:
Be careful when handling the cutting disc to prevent injury caused
by the blade.
ASSEMBLY
■
Place the food slicer on an even, dry and stable surface, e.g. on a kitchen countertop.
■
Attach the cutting disc to the base motor unit by turning the central fastener
A7
fully anticlockwise.
Attention:
When handling the cutting disc use the central fastener. To avoid
injury, do not touch the blade.
■
Place the food carriage on to the top plate with groove and put the food pusher on
to the food carriage.
■
Insert the tray into the bottom part of the base unit. To catch the falling slices of
food, a plate or tray or food-grade foil can be placed on the tray.
OPERATION
Attention:
The slicer is intended for slicing bread, baked goods, smoked
goods, meats, cheeses, vegetables and fruits. Do not use it
for slicing hard baked goods, frozen food, food in plastic or
aluminium foils, meat with bones, fruit with hard stones, etc.
■
Turn the adjustment knob
A11
to set the desired slicing thickness. If intending to
slice thin slices or to slice sticky food (e.g. cheeses), it is recommended to slightly
wet the cutting disc.
■
Connect the power cord to an el. power socket.
Attention:
Before connecting the power cord to an electrical power socket,
check that the cutting disc is properly attached to the motor unit.
■
Move the food carriage to the left side of the top plate of the base unit. Place the
food on to the food carriage and push it sideways using the food pusher.
■
Turn the food slicer on with your left hand. The motor unit will start and the cutting
disc will start to rotate.
■
Use your right hand to hold the food carriage and slice the inserted food by moving
towards and away from the cutting disc. Exert a slight pressure on the food while
slicing it to ensure that the food slices are of the same thickness.
Attention:
The slicer can be used with the food carriage without the food
pusher or the entire food carriage can be completely removed.
In both cases it is always necessary to pay increased attention to
avoid injury to the hand or fingers!
■
When you have finished slicing, turn off the slicer and wait until the cutting disc
comes to a complete stop. Only then may you remove the sliced food from the tray
or any remaining pieces of unsliced food from the food carriage.
Attention:
The slicer is designed for short operation lasting no longer than
5 minutes. After this time has elapsed, turn the slicer off and allow
the motor unit to cool down.
Note
:
If food sticks to the cutting disc, turn off the food slicer and disconnect
it from the power socket. Clean the cutting disc using a plastic spatula.
Proceed in the same way if any food jams during slicing.
Some food may cause discolouration of plastics. However, this does not
have any effect on the functionality of the food slicer.
■
When you have finished using the slicer, disconnect it from the power socket. Clean
out the slicer according to the instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■
Before cleaning the appliance, always turn it off and disconnect it from the power
socket. Using the adjustment knob, set the adjustable back plate to position 0 mm,
i.e. set it to symbol on the adjustment knob
A13
on the rear side of the adjustable
back plate.
■
After each use, remove any food remains from the food slicer. Clean parts that
come into contact with food using a wiping cloth dipped in clean water and then
dry with a wiping cloth. For a more thorough clean, remove the cutting disc, food
carriage, food pusher and removable plate, and wash these parts in warm water
using kitchen detergent. Then thoroughly rinse under flowing water and dry them.
Note
:
Remove the cutting disc by turning the central fastener clockwise and
take it off the motor unit.
Attention:
Pay extra attention when handling the cutting disc. To avoid
injury, do not touch the blade.
■
Using a dry or lightly dampened cloth, also clean the outer parts of the appliance
and then wipe it dry. Never submerge the base motor unit in water or any other
liquid!
Attention:
For cleaning, do not use thinners, solvents or cleaning agents that
cause abrasion.

Attention:
Keep the stored food slicer away from extreme temperatures,
direct sunlight and excessive humidity and do not store it in an
overly dusty environment. Do not place any heavy items on the
stored food slicer.
