g
For safety reasons, after each use
please return the stop plate (B) to the
starting position (0) using the slice
thickness adjustment knob (Fig. 6).

Instructions for Use

To operate the Universal Slicer safely
and to obtain even slices, place the
food to be sliced on the food carriage
and press the food gently against the
stop plate, if possible using the holder
(Figs. 7 and 8). With the blade rotating,
guide the food carriage with the food
to be sliced towards and against the
circular blade, applying slight pres-
sure. After use return the stop plate to
the starting position (0) using the slice
thickness adjustment knob.
Collecting the Sliced Food
Either place, for example, a plate in the
recessed area of the housing (F; for
Type USR 420) or pull the sliced food
collecting tray (E) to the left and out
from the appliance (Fig. 5, Type
USR 400 only).
Removing the Circular Blade
Before removing the circular blade it is
essential to return the stop plate to the
starting position (0) and remove the
mains plug. Please bear in mind when
carrying out the following steps that:
the circular blade is very sharp!
Insert a coin in the blade lock (General
View/J and Fig. 9) and turn it clockwise
(left-handed thread).
Holding the circular blade by the cen-
tre of turn, press against it gently from
behind and remove (Fig. 10).
Wash it by hand in warm soapy water,
not in a washing machine! Clean the
housing (F) behind the blade with a dry
cloth or a brush.
Fitting the Circular Blade
Position the circular blade, if necessary
turning slightly, in the housing cover.
The entire blade must lie within the
10
recess of the housing cover and stop
plate. Screw in the blade lock in an
anticlockwise direction (left-hand
rotation) and tighten.
Cleaning
The circular blade must be stationary
before the slicer is cleaned. Before
cleaning it is essential to return the
stop plate to the starting position (0)
and remove the plug from the mains.
Clean the appliance thoroughly from
time to time as perishable food
remains can collect on the appliance
and behind the circular blade (G).
Clean the motor unit with a damp
cloth. The remaining parts can be
washed in water by hand as usual or
washed in a dishwasher at a maximum
temperature of 50 °C.
Wash the circular blade carefully by
hand (risk of injury) in warm soapy
water, not in the dishwasher (rust spots
can form).
Never stand or immerse the Univer-
sal Slicer in water.
Disposal
When disposing, remove the mains lead
and take the appliance to a place
where it can be recycled (e.g., precious
metal recycling centre).
