Slicing
∙ Adjust the desired thickness of the slices.
∙ Place a suitable collecting tray to the left of the
appliance.
∙ Use the right hand to place the food to be sliced on to
the sliding tray and to press it against the stop plate.
∙ If necessary, place the leftover holder on the food
carriage with the nubby side facing the food. The leftover
holder ensures safe guidance of the food being sliced.
∙ First press the release button with your left hand while
pressing the push button switch.
∙ Guide the food carriage against the running blade.
Press the food to be cut lightly against the blade with the
leftover holder.
∙ Remove the cut food to the left of the appliance.
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 sharp, abrasive cleaning agents or hard
brushes.
∙ If necessary, only wipe the housing with a slightly damp
cloth.
∙ The leftover holder and the food carriage can be cleaned
in warm water with detergent (not in the dishwasher).
Cleaning and removing the blade
∙ The blade is very sharp, risk of injury! Only hold the
blade by its centre part; do not hold the blade by its
edge.
∙ Wipe the stainless steel blade with a slightly damp cloth.
You should also regularly clean the space behind the blade:
∙ To release the blade, turn the lock in the middle of
the blade by approx. 90° to the right into the vertical
position.
∙ In order to insert the blade, set it in the blade holder and
turn the lock to the left into the horizontal position.
Detaching the base plate
∙ The support table can be removed for cleaning.
∙ The support table is guided with pins on both sides.
When folded into the vertical position, the support table
can be pulled out of the guide laterally with the pins.
∙ Clean the support table in rinsing water and dry
thoroughly.
∙ After cleaning, reinsert the pins into the guides.
Storing the appliance
For space-saving storage, remove the leftover holder and
food carriage and fold up the support table.
