INTENDED USE

The food slicer is used for slicing
household foods.
The food slicer is suitable
for contact with
foodstuffs.
If the appliance is used for any
purpose other than its intended
use, or if it is operated incorrectly,
severe injuries may occur or the
appliance may be damaged. All
warranty and liability claims will
be rendered 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 components and keep
them in a safe place along with
the packaging itself. 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, non­skid surface close to a
mains socket.
Slide the left-over holder (2)
onto the slice carriage's handle.
Unwind the power cord (9) to
the length required from the cable
compartment (8) under the appli-
ance and insert the power plug
into the socket.
SLICING
Use the slice thickness adjust-
ment knob (4) 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 (10). Use
the left-over holder (2) to lightly
press the food 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 power switch (5). Two operat-
ing modes are available:
Intermittent operation
(Position II):
The rotary blade (12) runs as
long as the switch is pressed and
held down in this position.
Continuous operation
(Position I):
The rotary blade runs without the
switch being pressed and held
down until you move the switch to
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.
• When finished slicing, wait until
the rotary blade has come to a
complete stop.
• After each use, turn the slice
thickness adjustment knob to the
"0" position to cover up the sharp
rotary 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 (4) 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 damage the
surface of the rotary blade, caus-
ing it to rust.
Preparation
• Remove the slice tray (6) and
the left-over holder (2).
Slide the release device (3) to
the right-hand stop.
Pull the slice carriage (10)
away from the appliance.
Removing the rotary blade:
Remove the blade cover.
Open the blade catch (11) by
turning it in a clockwise direction.
• Remove the blade catch.
• Carefully remove the rotary
blade.
Cleaning after each use
• Wipe down the housing and
all removed parts, including the
rotary blade, with a damp cloth.
