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 packag-
ing in a safe place. Clean the
appliance 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 car-
riage (9) vertically into the
guide groove on the appliance
until it audibly locks into place.

Unwind the mains cable (5) to
the length required from the
cable compartment (8) under
the appliance.
• Plug the cable into the
socket.
SLICING
Use the slice thickness
adjustment 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 (9).
Use the left-over holder (10)
to press it up against the
stop plate (11).
Protect your hands, by
always using the slice carriage
and, where applicable, the left-
over holder. Exception: Exces-
sively large foods to be sliced.
Turn the appliance on using
the switch (1). Two operating
modes are available:
Temporary operation:
Press the switch and slide it
towards the arrow until you feel
some resistance. The rotary
blade (6) runs as long as the
switch is pressed and held
down in this position.
Continuous operation:
Press the switch and slide it
towards the arrow beyond the
resistance point until it latches
into place. The rotary blade
runs without the 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 min-
utes 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
completed, 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 left
and out of the appliance.
CLEANING
Caution:
Switch the appliance off
before cleaning it; pull the
mains 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 dam-
age to the surface of the rotary
blade, causing it to rust.
