MATERIAL TO BE SLICED

You can slice bread, ham, cold meats, cheese, fruit, vegetables, etc. with the unit.

Under no circumstances should you cut hard objects such as frozen food, bones, wood, metal or similar

INITIAL OPERATION

• Place the enclosed tray, a plate or similar under the unit.
• Select the desired cutting thickness.
• Place the food on the carriage.
• Place the remnant holder on the rear wall of the carriage and place the remnant holder on the food.
• Switch on the unit.

The unit may not be used without the combi attachment, unless the size and shape of the material to be sliced make this impossible

• Press the material to be sliced lightly against the stop plate and push the carriage evenly against the blade.
• After you have finished slicing, press the on/off switch again.

Soft foods (e.g. cheese and ham) can be sliced more easily if they are chilled. Soft foods are easier to slice if you push them forward more slowly.

• Frequent cleaning in the dishwasher can lead to discolouration. Cleaning under running water by hand is recommended.

CLEANING

Clean the external surfaces of the unit with a soft, moist cloth. If it is very dirty, a mild detergent may be used.

REMOVING THE BLADE

Please also unscrew the blade from time-to-time and clean the inside of the unit. In particular when "juicy" foods (tomatoes, fruit, roast meat, etc.) have been sliced. Treat the blade with utmost care.

• Pull the carriage fully towards you.
• Remove the blade cover by swivelling it about 45° to the right.
• Turn the blade lock to the right and carefully remove the blade.
• Clean the inner side of the blade with a damp cloth.
• Follow the instructions in reverse order to replace the blade and blade cover.
• This process must be conducted with the utmost caution, as it is a very sharp object.

CARRIAGE

In order to clean the carriage better, it can be removed from the machine.

• Remove the carraige lock on the right of the carriage.
• Pull the carriage away backwards and remove it.
• Clean all the parts with a damp cloth or under running water.

Do not clean the carriage in the dishwasher!

• Please place a few drops of resin-free oil or vaseline on the tray guide once a month. Remove excess oil/vaseline with a soft cotton cloth.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The unit complies with the applicable safety regulations. Improper usage can, however, lead to damage to people and property.
Observe the following safety instructions to ensure safe use of the unit:

• Before use, check the unit for externally visible damage to the casing, the power cord and plug. Do not use a damaged unit.
• In the event that the unit's power cord is damaged, it may only be replaced by the manufacturer or its customer service or another similarly qualified person in order to minimise risks.
• Repairs may only be carried out by a specialist or by Graef customer service. Improper repairs may result in major dangers to the user. In addition, this also renders the guarantee invalid.
• Repairs during the guarantee period of the unit may only be carried out by Graef customer service, otherwise subsequent damages are no longer covered under the guarantee.
• Defective components may only be replaced by original spare parts. Only these components guarantee that the safety regulations are complied with.
• This unit should not be used by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory and mental abilities or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instruction on how the unit is to be used.
• The unit may not be used by children. The unit and its power cord must be kept out of the reach of children.
• Children should be supervised to make sure they do not play with the unit.
• The unit is not designed to be used with an external timer or a separate remote control.
• This unit is designed to be used in the home and in similar situations, such as: in employee kitchens for shops and offices; in agricultural properties; by guests in hotels, motels and other accommodation; in bed and breakfast establishments.
• Always pull out the cord from the socket using the plug, not the power cord.
• Before connecting the unit, compare the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the data plate with that of your electricity network. This data must match to ensure that the unit does not suffer any damage.
• Do not use the unit if the power cord or plug is damaged.
• Before continuing to use the unit, have a new power cord installed by Graef customer service or an authorised specialist.
• Under no circumstances should you open the casing of the unit. If live wires are touched and the electrical and mechanical structure us changed, there is a danger of receiving an electric shock.
• Never touch live components. These can give you an electric shock or even lead to death.
• Do not carry the unit by the power cord.
• Never move the unit while it is in use.
• Do not operate the unit with wet hands.
• When the unit is not in use, turn the dial clockwise past the "0" setting as far as it will go, so that the stop plate covers the blade.
• Packaging may not be used as a toy. There is a risk of suffocation.
• Do not touch the edge of the blade with your fingers. It is very sharp and can cause serious injury.
• Make sure that the unit is switched off and unplugged before cleaning or when it is not in use.
• Check whether the stop plate is closed (blade covered).
• Do not use any aggressive or scouring cleaning agents nor any solvents.
• Do not scratch off any tough dirt with hard objects.
• Do not wash the unit in water or submerge it in water.
• The appliance must not be used without the carriage or remnant holder, unless the size and shape of the material to be cut does not allow the use of the remnant holder.

DANGER CAUSED BY ELECTRIC CURRENT

Mortal danger is caused by contact with energised cables or components!
Please observe the following safety instructions in order to prevent an exposure to electric current:

• Do not use the unit if the mains cable or plug are damaged.
• In this case, you should let the Graef Customer Service install a new connection cable before using the unit again. This may be done also by an authorised specialist.
• Do not open the housing under any circumstances. When touching live connections and if the electric and mechanical structure is changed, there is danger of electric shock.
• Never touch live parts. They may cause an electric shock or even may lead to death.

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 electrician.
• The socket has to be protected at least by a 10 amps circuit breaker.
• Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and is not laid across hot surfaces or sharp edges.
• The electric safety of the unit is ensured only when it is connected to a socket with protective conductor installed correctly. Operation on a socket without protective conductor is forbidden. If in doubt, let the house installation check by a trained electrician. The manufacturer shall not assume responsibility for damage which has been caused by absent or interrupted protective conductor.

POSSIBLE SOURCES OF DANGER

The very sharp blade can cut off parts of the body

Your fingers are particularly at risk. For this reason, do not touch the area between the stop plate and the food pusher unless the stop plate is completely closed, i.e. set to "0".

CHILD SAFETY

In order to safeguard the blade (stop plate must be closed, i.e. set to "0"), push the carriage in front of the blade and push in the carriage lock. The carriage is then secured.

If possible, keep the original packaging during the guarantee period of the unit in order to be able to pack the unit correctly in case of guarantee.
