REQUIREMENTS ON THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

For the safe and faultless operation of the unit, the following requirements of the installation location have to be met.
The unit has to be placed on a solid, flat, horizontal, and non-slipping surface with a sufficient weight-carrying capacity.
Make sure that the unit cannot topple over.
Choose the location in such a way that children cannot reach the connecting cable of the unit.
Do not place the unit on hot surfaces, such as hotplates, or near them.
Never use the unit outdoors, and always keep it in a dry place.
The unit is not designed for installation in a wall or a built-in cupboard.
Do not set up the unit in a hot, wet, or moist environment.
The socket has to be easily accessible so that the power cable can be removed easily in case of an emergency.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

For safe and fault-free operation of the unit, the following requirements have to be met during the electrical connection.
Before connecting the unit, compare the connecting data (voltage and frequency) on the type plate with those of your energy network.
These details must correspond so that no damage occurs to the unit. In case of uncertainty, contact a qualified electri-cian.
The socket has to be protected at least by a 10-amp circuit breaker.
Make sure that the connecting cable is not damaged and not laid across hot surfaces or sharp edges.
The connecting cable must not be stretched tightly.
The electric safety of the unit is ensured only when it is connected to a socket with a protective conductor installed correctly. Operation on a socket without a protective conductor is forbidden.
If in doubt, let the house installation be checked by a skilled electrician. The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for damage that has been caused by missing or interrupted pro-tective conductors.

SOURCES OF DANGER

CAUTION The very sharp blade can cut off body parts.
Your fingers are especially at risk. For this reason never reaches into the space between the stop plate and blade as long as the stop plate is not completely closed, i.e. set to below “0“.

TRIGGER GUARD

The unit has a trigger guard to prevent unauthorized use. The trigger guard fitted below the slide is pressed backward with the finger without pressing the safety switch button. The unit can only be switched on when the trigger guard is unlocked.

SHORT-TIME SERVICE

After a short-time operation of 10 minutes, let the motor cool down for an hour.

SLICING MATERIAL

The unit can be used to cut bread, ham, sausage, cheese, fruit, vegetables, et cetera.
IMPORTANT! By no means cut hard matter, such as frozen food, bones, wood, sheet metal, or the like.

COMMISSIONING

Place the enclosed tray, a plate, or similar under the unit.
Select the requested cutting thickness.
Place the slicing material onto the slide.
Place the combi-attachment / food holder on the rear wall of the slide and place the combi-attachment against the slicing material.
Either press the intermittent switch or turn the knob on the side of the slide to activate the continuous operation.
IMPORTANT! The unit must not be used without the combi-attachment/food holder unless the size and shape of the slicing material do not allow its use.
As soon as the size and shape of the slicing material allow the use of the combi attachment/food holder, it must be used.
Press the slicing material slightly against the stop plate with the combi-attachment and guide the slide evenly towards the blade.
After completion of the cutting process, release the intermittent switch or turn the knob on the side of the slide back to its original position to switch off the device.

IMPORTANT!

Soft slicing material (such as cheese or ham) can be cut best when chilled. Soft slicing material can be cut better when moved forward more slowly.

COMBI-ATTACHMENT AS MINISLICE (M188EU/ M20 / M95 ONLY)

Put the combi-attachment on the slide-back wall.
Turn the locking lever tightly.
Put the slicing material, e.g. cucumber, carrots, mushrooms, cocktail tomatoes into the filling shaft.
ONLY WITH MASTER M95: If necessary, place the insert in the filling shaft. This slides down automatically. Do not press.
Set the requested cutting thickness.
Put a tablet, chopping board, or plate under the blade.
Either press the intermittent switch or turn the knob on the side of the slide to activate the continuous operation.
Even move the slide towards the blade.
Release the intermittent switch or turn the knob on the side of the slide back to its original position to switch off the device.
After completion of the cutting process, loosen the locking of the combi-attachment.
After use, clean the combi-attachment.
IMPORTANT! Frequent cleaning in the dishwasher can lead to discoloration. Cleaning by hand under running water is recommended.

30° TILTING (ONLY M188 /M90/M95)

The tilting function is particularly suitable for cutting bread, hard sausages, and vegetables.
The tilt function uses the natural gravity of the slicing material for feeding.

To tilt the unit, proceed as follows:

Press the lock button. The unit is unlocked.
Push the unit upwards so that it is tilted 30°.
To fix the position, push the swiveling lever upwards.
The unit is only secured when it audibly locks into place.
Now you can continue as described under “Commissioning”.
After completion of the cutting process, press the swiveling lever down and swivel the unit back again.
By pressing on the rear part of the profile, the locking bolt clicks into place.

CLEANING

Use a soft and moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the unit. Use mild detergent in case of heavy contamination.

SLIDE

To clean the slide better, it can be removed from the unit.
Press the slide latch upwards with your finger.
Keep the slide latch pressed and pull the slide towards yourself.
Use a moist cloth or running water to clean all parts.
Once a month, please add some drops of resin-free oil or petroleum jelly to the slide guide. Use a soft cotton wool cloth to remove excessive oil / excessive petroleum jelly.

IMPORTANT!

Do not clean the slide in a dishwasher!

BLADE REMOVABLE

From time to time, unscrew the blade and clean the unit on the inside. Especially, when “juicy” slicing material (vegetables, fruit, roasts, et cetera) has been cut. Treat the blade with the utmost care.
Remove the slide.
Use the black handle grip to turn the blade cover plate upwards until it is vertical over the motor body. During this action in the initial position, the snap point has to be overcome first of all.
Now you can remove it from the blade by pressing lightly.
Undo the blade by using a coin to turn the blade screw clockwise.

CAUTION

The blade edge is very sharp. The danger of injury! Handle the blade with care.
Clean the inside of the blade and the black ring using a damp cloth.
Grease the inside of the blade (blade gear) and the black ring with petroleum jelly.
Neither uses cooking oil nor margarine/ butter, these will resinify over time.
Inserting the blade takes place in reverse order.

ENSURE VALUE PRESERVATION OF THE BLADE

For long-lasting sharpness and value retention of your Graef blade, we recommend cleaning it at regular intervals, especially after cutting a cup of salted meat and/or ham.
These foodstuffs contain salts, when they stay on the surface of the blade for a longer period, may even form a rust film (even on “stainless” steel).
When cutting up slicing material that contains a lot of water, such as tomatoes or cucumbers, lacking or wrong (too “wet”) cleaning may also lead to a rust film on the blade surface.
For this reason, we recommend using a moist cloth, and if necessary some washing- up liquid, to clean the blade directly after use.
From time to time, unscrew the blade and clean the unit on the inside, especially, when “juicy” slicing material (vegetables, fruit, roasts, et cetera) has been cut. Treat the blade with the utmost care.

10-YEAR GUARANTEE

For this product, we assume an additional guarantee on the motor of 120 months beginning with the date of sale. Your legal warranty claim in conformity with Section 439 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall remain unaffected by this regulation.
The guarantee does not cover any damage which is caused by incorrect handling or use as well as defects that only slightly influence the function or the value of the unit.
Moreover, transport damage provided we are not responsible shall be excluded from the claims under guarantee.
The guarantee shall be ruled out for damage, the repair of which has not been carried out by us or one of our representatives.
In case of justified complaints, we shall repair the defective product or replace it with a product without defects at our discretion.
