BeFOre USING the
APPLIANCE FOR THE
FIrSt tIMe
Preparation
Before you use the appliance for
the first time, have a specialist
install it in a suitable drawer.
Clean the appliance before allow
ing it to come into contact with
any food (see CLEANING).
Setting up the appliance
• Pull out the drawer containing
the food slicer until it stops.
Lift the appliance using the
stop plate (3) and swivel it until
it is vertical and latches audibly
into place. The slice tray (5) folds
automatically into its working
position.
Fit the finger protector (9) into
the locating slot on the slice car
riage (11) using the bolt.

towards the stop plate until it
audibly latches into place.
Slide the leftover holder (10)
onto the finger protector.

Adjusting appliance position
When the food slicer is swung
out, the appliance must not be
capable of being pushed in a
longitudinal direction, i.e. the
buffer screw (12) should be flush
with the front edge of the worktop
without any play. If this is not the
case then you can readjust it:
• Position the appliance as
described above.
Turn the buffer screw until it
comes into contact with the front
edge of the worktop (but do not
clamp tight!).
• Check the setup by folding and
unfolding the appliance several
times in succession.
SlIcING
Use the slice thickness adjust
ment knob (4) to set the required
thickness.
Note:
The slice thickness adjustment
scale is not a millimetre scale.
For safety reasons, the "0"
position is designed to cover the
blade.
Place the food to be sliced
onto the slice carriage (11). Use
the leftover holder (10) to press
it up against the stop plate (3).
Protect your hands, by always
using the finger protector (9) and,
where applicable, the leftover
holder. Exception: Excessively
large foods to be sliced.
Turn the appliance on using
the power switch (1). Two operat
ing modes are available:
AeS/BFS 62 Sr(-h)
Temporary (Position II): The
rotary blade (14) runs as long as
the power switch is pressed and
held down in this position.
continuous operation
(Position I): The rotary blade
runs without the power switch
being pressed and held down
until you move the power switch
to the "0" position.
Note:
Never use the appliance for more
than a maximum of 5 minutes in
continuous operation.
AeS/BFS 62 Sl(-h)
Temporary operation: Press the
power switch and slide it towards
the arrow until you feel some
resistance. The rotary blade (14)
runs as long as the power switch
is pressed and held down in this
position.
Continuous operation: Press the
power switch and slide it towards
the arrow beyond the resistance
point until it latches into place.
The rotary blade runs without
the power switch having to be
pressed and held down, until you
push the power switch back into
the "0" position.
Note:
Never use the appliance for more
than a maximum of 5 minutes in
continuous operation.
If necessary, place the slice
tray (5) at an incline into the
holder and swivel it down.
• With the appliance running,
gently feed the food to be sliced
into the path of the rotary blade.
• When finished slicing, wait until
the rotary blade has come to a
complete stop.
• After each use, turn the slice
thickness adjustment knob to the
"0" position, in order to cover up
the sharp rotating blade and to
avoid any injuries.
cleANING
Caution:
Switch the appliance off before
cleaning it; pull the power plug
out off the socket and turn the
slice thickness adjustment
knob (4) to the "0" position.
Clean the food slicer regularly
to prevent the accumulation of
food residue. The rotary blade
must also be cleaned regularly
as described below to prevent its
surface from rusting.
