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.
Slide the slice carriage (3)
into the guide grooves on the
appliance.
Slide the left-over holder (2)
onto the slice carriage's handle.
Unwind the power cord (8) to
the length required from the cable
compartment (9) under the appli-
ance and insert the power plug
into the socket.

SLICING
Use the slice thickness
adjustment knob (12) to set the
required thickness.
Note:
The slice thickness adjustment
scale is not a millimetre scale.
For safety reasons, the "0" posi-
tion is designed to cover the
blade.
Place the food to be sliced
onto the slice carriage (3). Use
the left-over holder (2) to press it
up against the stop plate (1).
Protect your hands, by always
using the slice carriage and,
where applicable, the left-over
holder. Exception: Excessively
large foods to be sliced.
• Switch the appliance on using
the rocker switch (7). Two operat-
ing modes are available:
Temporary operation
(Position II):
The rotary blade (13) runs as
long as the power switch is
pressed and held down in this
position.
Continuous operation
(Position I):
The rotary blade runs without the
power switch being pressed and
held down until you move the
power switch to the "0" position.
Note:
Never use the appliance for more
than a maximum of 10 minutes in
continuous operation.
• Adapt the slicing speed us-
ing the electronic rpm adjust-
ment (14) to suit the food to be
sliced. When slicing soft food set
a low slicing speed, and set a
higher speed for hard food.
• 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.
CLEANING
Caution:
Switch the appliance off before
cleaning it; pull the power plug
out off the socket and turn the
slice thickness adjustment
knob (12) to the "0" position.
From time to time the appli-
ance will need to be thoroughly
cleaned, as perishable left-overs
will be left on the appliance,
behind the blade cover (6) and
behind the rotary blade.
• Remove the slice tray (11) and
the left-over holder (2).
Note:
Make sure that the slice thickness
adjustment knob is set to the
"0" position.
Press the release button (4)
and pull the slice carriage (3) off
the appliance.
Removing the rotary blade:
Pull the blade cover release
device (15) forwards and remove
the blade cover (6).
Remove the key (16) next to
the rotary blade.
Note:
When the blade cover has been
opened the appliance is safe-
guarded against being switched
on by an automatic circuit
breaker.
• Place the key up against the
blade catch (5), turn it in an
anticlockwise direction and then
remove it.
• 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.
