and firm surface.
Fitting the sliding tray
The outside of the base plate contains a
guide slot. Fit the sliding tray into this slot
first before tilting it inwards.. The markings
▲ underneath the blade cover and ▲ on the
base plate must be aligned.
Setting the thickness of the slices
The thickness of the slices is infinitely
adjustable by means of the selection knob.
Always bring the stop plate back to its rest
(zero) position after use.
Safety switch
To activate the motor, both push switches
must be pressed simultaneously. As soon as
one of the switches is released, the motor
will automatically stop.
Slicing
Following the above safety instructions, the
slicer can now be operated.
- Adjust the desired thickness of the slices.
- Position the collection tray underneath
the unit.
- Use the right hand to place the food to
be sliced onto the sliding tray and to
press it against the stop plate.
- Fit the end piece holder, with the studded
side facing the blade, onto the sliding
tray.
- Press both switches simultaneously with
the left hand and move the sliding tray
against the rotating blade. At the same
time, slightly press the end piece holder
containing the food to be cut against the
blade.
- The end piece holder ensures safe
handling of the food to be cut while
slicing takes place.
- The cut slices are collected in the
collection tray underneath the unit.
●
For safety reasons, always bring the stop
plate back to its rest (zero) position after
use so that it is flush with the blade.
Practical hints
- When cutting a loaf of bread where the
crust is thicker or harder on the top, it
should be placed against the blade in
such a way that the firm part of the crust
faces the cutting edge.
- When cutting cheese, or when cutting
very thin slices, use a slightly moist cloth
to wipe the blade before cutting. This will
make the slicing process easier.
- When cutting ham, ensure that the fatty
side is facing upwards.
General Cleaning and Care
General
●
Always remove the plug from the wall
socket before detaching any accessories,
and before cleaning the appliance.
●
After switching off, always wait until the
blade has come to a complete standstill.
Bring the stop plate back to its rest (zero)
position, so that the blade does not
protrude.
●
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
●
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions for cleaning. If necessary, the
housing may be wiped with a slightly
damp, lint-free cloth. The end piece
holder can be cleaned using hot water
and a mild detergent (do not clean it in a
dish-washer).
Detaching and cleaning the blade
●
The blade is extremely sharp - there is a
risk of serious injury if proper care is not
taken.
To facilitate cleaning the stainless steel
blade, the blade cover can be removed . Lift
up the cover slightly to release the upper
lock, then pull it sideways at the upper edge.
The blade can be cleaned with a slightly
damp, lint-free cloth.
The area behind the blade should also be
cleaned occasionally. To remove the blade,
loosen the central fixing screw by turning it
