evenly.
• Press the on/off switch (I).
Note: Soft food (such as cheese or ham) can be sliced best when cooled. Soft
food can be cut better when pushed slowly. When slicing cucumbers or carrots, it
is advantagous if they are cut to equal lengths first which are then fed using the
food holder (D).
Food holder
The unit must not be used without the food holder (D) unless the size and shape
of the food permits use without.
As soon as the size or shape of the food permits the use of the food holder, this
has to be used.
• Place the remainders or smaller food on the slide (E).
• Place the food holder (D) at the rear wall of the slide and move the food holder
(D) up to the food to be cut.
• Proceed as described above in chapter "slicing".
The food holder (D) permit slicing of smaller food, such as mushrooms or tomatoes.
Cleaning
Remove the power plug before cleaning the unit.
Use a soft and moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the unit. Use a mild
detergent in case of heavy soiling.
Preservation of value - blade
For a long-lasting sharpness and for a preservation of the value of your Graef blade
we recommend that the blade be cleaned in regular intervals, especially after
cutting cured meat or ham. They contain salts which when on the blade surface
for a longer period of time could produce so-called "rust film" ( on "stainless
steel" as well). When cutting products which contain a lot of water, such as
tomatoes or cucumbers, a lack or wrong (too "wet") cleaning may produce rust
on the blade surface. For this reason we recommend that you use a moist cloth
and a bit of detergent, if and when necessary, to clean the blade directly after
use. Never put the blade in a dishwasher, firstly due to decrease in sharpness
and corrosion resistance (salts attack the blade), and secondly due to safety in
handling the blade whilst loading and unloading the dishwasher.
Removing the blade
Remove the power plug before removing the blade.
Unscrew the blade (G) in regular intervals and clean the unit on the inside. Do
this, especially "juicy" cutting material (tomatoes, fruit, roasts, et cetera) are cut.
