Before using this appliance for the first time
Clean the slicer before using it for the first
time, or after a long period of non-use.
Applications
The slicer is designed for use with bread,
cooked meats, ham, cheese, cold roasts and
other food suitable for slicing.
Operation
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
- Position the slicer on a flat, stable surface.
- Before the appliance is connected to the
mains, ensure that the On/Off switch is in
the Off-position.
Slicing
Follow the above instructions when
operating the slicer.
- Use the thickness selection knob to
adjust the desired thickness of the slices.
- Place the food to be sliced onto the
sliding tray and press it against the stop
plate.
- Fit the safety holder, with the studded
side facing the blade, onto the sliding
tray.
- Switch the appliance on and move the
sliding tray towards the rotating blade.
At the same time, lightly press the end-
piece holder with the food towards the
blade.
- The end-piece holder ensures safe
handling of the food while slicing.
- When removing the sliced food, keep
fingers and hands well away from the
blade, which is extremely sharp.
●
Always switch the slicer off after use.
●
For safety reasons, always bring the stop
plate back to its rest 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 one side, it
should be placed against the blade in
such a way that the firm side faces the
blade.
- When cutting cheese or very thin slices of
other foods, use a slightly damp cloth to
moisten the blade before cutting. This
will make the slicing process easier.
- When cutting ham, ensure that the fatty
side is facing upwards.

time, or after a long period of non-use.
