Operation
Applications
The slicer is designed for use with bread,
cold cuts, ham, cheese, cold roasts and other
foodstuffs suitable for slicing.
Short-term operation
The appliance has been designed for short-
term operation only, i.e. the slicer should not
be operated continuously for more than 10
minutes. Switch it off afterwards and allow
the motor to cool down before switching on
again.
Positioning the slicer
The slicer must be positioned on a flat, solid
surface.
Locking the base plate
Fold the base plate into its horizontal
operating position, and then lock it by
pushing the slide lock as far as possible in the
direction of the hinge.
To unlock, slide the lock away from the
hinge.
Fitting the sliding tray
Hold the sliding tray vertically next to the
base plate in such a way that the guide rail
on the tray is located underneath the base
plate. Pull the tray sideways and upwards so
that the rail slips into the guide track
underneath the base plate, and then fold the
tray 90° upwards to lock it into the track.
The tray will now be securely fitted in the
base plate track.
Setting thickness
The thickness of the slices is infinitely
adjustable by means of the selection knob.
Always bring the stop plate back to its rest
(zero) position after use.
Safety switch
To activate the motor, first press the release
button, then the push switch, which will lock
in the operating position. As soon as the
switch is pressed again, the motor will
automatically stop.
Slicing
Following the above safety instructions, the
slicer can now be operated.
- Adjust the desired thickness of the slices.
- Position the collection tray underneath
the unit.
- Use the right hand to place the food to
be sliced on to the sliding tray and to
press it against the stop plate.
- Fit the end piece holder, with the studded
side facing the blade, on to the tray.
- Use the left hand to press the release
button and, almost simultaneously, the
push switch, and then move the sliding
tray against the rotating blade. At the
same time, press the end piece holder
containing the food lightly against the
blade.
- The end piece holder ensures the food
will be held safely while slicing takes
place.
- The cut slices are collected in the tray
underneath the unit.
●
For safety reasons, always bring the stop
plate back to its rest (zero) position after
use so that it is flush with the blade.
Practical hints
- When cutting a loaf of bread where the
crust is thicker or harder on the top, it
should be placed against the blade in
such a way that the firm part of the crust
faces the cutting edge.
- When cutting cheese, or when cutting
very thin slices of other foods, use a
slightly moist cloth to wipe the blade first.
This will make the slicing process easier.
- When cutting ham, ensure that the fatty
side is facing upwards.
