Danger of electric shock! Do not attempt to repair the product yourself. In case of malfunction, repairs are to be conducted by qualified personnel only.
Risk of fire! Never use any petroleum-based or flammable oils or lubricants in or around the product as some oils can combust, causing serious injury.

Always switch the product off and unplug the power supply cord from the socket-outlet when not in use, before cleaning, moving, or emptying the paper bin.
Never dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come into contact with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone and gasoline) in the paper bin.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
Never shred large paper clips, window or insulated envelopes, continuous forms, newsprint, bound pages (for example: notepads, checkbooks, magazines, etc.), transparencies, laminated documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard materials or plastic (except plastic credit cards and CDs).
Connect the power plug to an easily reachable electrical outlet so that in case of an emergency the appliance can be unplugged immediately.
Empty the bin regularly. Overfilled bin might lead to jams.
The product shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the product.
Regularly check the power plug and power supply cord for damage. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Never try to clean or clear the shredder cutters.

NOTICE For proper ventilation, a minimum distance of 5 cm must be maintained behind the product.

• Move the product to the desired position.
• Connect the product to the socket-outlet.
• Activate the brakes by pushing them down.

Operation

Switching on/off

Switching on: Set the on/off switch (C) to I.
Switching off: Set the on/off switch (C) to 0.

NOTICE Shredder runs briefly after each pass to clear entry. Continuous operation beyond 30 minutes triggers a 1 0-minute cool down period.

Control panel

AUTO: While in “AUTO” mode, the motor does not start running until paper, CD or card is inserted into the feed slot. Always feed the paper in as straight as possible. When the paper, CD or card has passed through, the motor stops automatically.
When the “AUTO” mode is activated, the button lights up blue. To deactivate the “AUTO” mode, press again.
Reverse: In an unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear the cutters of material that did not pass through. Before clearing a jam by using the reverse function, empty the paper bin (H).
Forward: The forward setting can also be used to help clear the cutters in the event of a paper jam. It also allows to manually activate the shredding mode.

Paper/ credit card feed slot

• Do not exceed the sheet count per pass (18 sheets max.). Insert paper as straight as possible into paper/card feed slot (I) and release.
• Insert one card at a time into the middle of the paper/card feed slot (I).

NOTICE

Always switch off and unplug the product when not in use.
One folded sheet of paper equates to 2 sheets of paper. Heavier paper, humidity or a supply voltage lower than the rated voltage may reduce shredding capacity.
This product can shred staples and small paper clips. It is recommended that you remove paper clips whenever possible to extend the lifespan of the product.
Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically into the middle of the slot, releasing when shredding begins. Never feed in more than one credit card at a time.

CD feed slot

CAUTION Risk of injury! Do not hold CD with finger through the centre ring while feeding into the shredder.

• Never feed in more than one CD at a time.
• Hold a CD by its edge, feed in one at a time and release when shredding begins.

Status Indicators

POWER: This indicator goes on when the on/off switch (C) is set to I.
OVERHEAT: This indicator goes on when the product has exceeded its maximum operating temperature and stopped. If this happens, stop using the product but do not switch it off. This allows the fan to accelerate the cooling process. Wait for 10 minutes or longer to cool down before resuming normal operation.
OVERLOAD: This indicator goes on when too much paper has been inserted into a feed slot. The product goes into a “Reverse” mode automatically to withdraw the paper. Pull out manually the batch of paper and reduce the number of sheets.
DOOR OPEN: This indicator goes on when the paper bin (H) is not installed properly. Remove, empty and install the paper bin (H) correctly in place. This product features a safety power cut-off and does not operate if the paper bin (H) is not in place.
