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

• Place the appliance on a flat, even surface.
• Press down on the appliance so that the suction feet (4) attach themselves to the surface.

Assembling the appliance

Assembling the hand crank (1):

A. Loosen the fastening screw (10) and remove it.

• If the plastic bushing (9a) is not fully inside the crankcase (9), push the bushing backwards.
  When doing so, ensure that the lip on the plastic bushing fits exactly into the slot provided on the crankcase.

• Place the hand crank on the shaft (9b).

B. Replace the fastening screw and tighten it using a suitably sized coin.

C. Insert the slicing board (12) from the right (on the amano3/5/ piatto3/5 model).

D. Mount the slice carriage (5):

• Insert the slice carriage into the front locking pin (6a) of the carriage guidance element (6).
• Then swivel the slice carriage downwards to insert it into the rear locking pin (6b) of the carriage guidance element.

E. Slide the left-over holder (7) onto the handle of the slice carriage.

Moving the appliance

C. Do not use the slicing board (12) to lift the appliance.
Before moving the appliance, you should slide the slicing board to the right out of the appliance (on the amano3/5/piatto3/5 model). The board can only be pulled out to the right.

F. Take hold of the bottom of the appliance next to the right suction foot and lift it up carefully.
The suction feet will detach themselves from the surface one by one.

SLICING

G. Use the slice thickness adjustment knob (14) to set the required thickness.

Info:
Slice thickness: 0 mm to approx.
20 mm. The slice thickness adjustment scale is not a millimetre scale. For safety reasons, the “0″ position is designed to cover the blade.

C. Pull the slicing board (12) out slightly to the right to collect the cut slices (on the amano3/5/ piatto3/5 model). The board can only be pulled out to the right.

• Place a plate or similar underneath to catch the cut slices if necessary (on the manus3/podio3 model).

H. Place the food guide bracket (11) in a horizontal position until it locks into place.

Info:
The food guide bracket ensures that long, hard foods (e.g. a large loaf of bread) are passed on to the crank without hindering movement.
For short, thin, soft slices, we recommend that you turn the guide upwards (e.g. for sausages).

I. Place the food to be sliced onto the slice carriage (5). Use the left- over holder (7) to lightly press the food up against the stop plate (3).
Protect your hands by always using the slice carriage and, where applicable, the left-over holder.

K. Exception: Excessively large foods for slicing.

• Use your right hand to turn the hand crank (1) in a clockwise direction with even pressure.
• As soon as the rotary blade (8) starts moving, gently place the food to be sliced next to the rotary blade.
• After each use, turn the slice thickness adjustment knob to the “0ʺ position to cover up the sharp rotary blade and to avoid any injuries.

CLEANING

CAUTION
The rotary blade is extremely sharp. Before cleaning, turn the slice thickness adjustment (14) knob 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. Info: Over time, an accumulation of food residue may damage the surface of the rotary blade, causing it to rust.

Preparation

C. Slide the slicing board (12) to the right out of the appliance (on the amano3/5/piatto3/5 model). The board can only be pulled out to the right

• Remove the left-over holder (7).

L.  Remove the slice carriage (5):

• Pull the slice carriage fully towards you.
• Use the finger protection on the slice carriage to pull it upwards. The slice carriage detaches from each locking pin (6a and 6b) of the carriage guidance element (6) in turn. Ensure that the slice carriage does not tilt to the left.

M. Remove the rotary blade (8):

• Keep a tight grip on the rotary blade from above during the entire removal process.
• Open the blade catch (2) by turning the locking screw (2b) in an anti-clockwise direction using a suitably sized coin.
• Remove the sealing washer (2a).

N. Press the blade out from the opposite side and take hold of it at its rotational centre.

Cleaning after each use

• Wipe down the housing and all removed parts, including the rotary blade, with a damp cloth. Occasional cleaning
• Wash the slicing board in water and detergent (amano3/5/piatto3/5 model). Do not use aggressive abrasive cleaners.
• Rub food-safe oil into the slicing board to keep it in the best condition (amano5/piatto5 model).
• Give all removed parts, including the rotary blade, a thorough wash in warm soapy water (not in the dishwasher!).
• Clean the housing behind the blade using a dry cloth/brush. Info: Do not use any abrasive cleaners, sponges with rough surfaces or hard brushes.
• The suction feet must be free of grease and crumbs to ensure a firm grip. We therefore recommend that you clean the suction feet regularly.
• Dry all parts that you have washed.
• Grease the rotary blade’s gear wheel with a little ritter maintenance grease (or alternatively with a little Vaseline).

O. Repeat the steps above in reverse order to replace the rotary blade (8). When doing so, ensure that the sealing washer (2a) fits exactly into the slot provided.

MAINTENANCE

Your food slicer is maintenance- free. However, we recommend that you occasionally apply a little extra ritter maintenance grease or Vaseline to the rails of the slice carriage to keep them lubricated and ensure that the carriage continues to move easily.
