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.

C: Use the slice thickness adjustment knob (4) to set the required thickness. Note:
The slice thickness adjustment scale is not a millimeter scale. For safety reasons, the “0” position is designed to cover the blade.
D: 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).
E: 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.
