USING THE SLICER
For a safe use, your appliance is fitted with a complete device (carriage (5) with a thumb
guard (6) and pusher) which allows protecting your hands by giving an exceptional use
comfort.
The platform allows making to and from motions along the blade to cut the slices. Use the
handle to move it.
The pusher allows you to keep the food when slicing by holding your hand far from the blade.
Therefore it is recommended to always use it except if the food is too large and in this case
keep it as far as possible from the blade.
• Clean all parts of the appliance before the first use.
• Make sure the appliance is steady and add the pusher on the carriage (5).
• Plug in the appliance. The slicer is now ready for use.
• Place a plate or a dish behind the blade to collect the slices.
• Free the carriage from the blade and lay the food to be sliced on its stainless steel plate.
• Push the food against the mobile side of the appliance with the pusher and select the
slicing thickness by turning the adjustment lever (8).
• Place the switch (7) to the position ON. The blade will start rotating. To stop, place the
switch (7) in position OFF.
• Push the carriage to bring the food to the blade (2). Therefore use the handle of the
carriage and keep the pressure on the mobile side of the appliance thanks to the pusher.
• If it becomes difficult to slice the food (important braking of the blade), move back a little
bit and start the operation again by approaching the blade slowly.
• To avoid food sticking to the appliance and to improve the slicing, you can moisten or oil
the blade with a wet towel beforehand.
• Do not slice meat with bones, food with large seeds, rolled roast without removing the
string, wrappers (i.e. aluminium foil), frozen food or any hard, inedible food parts.
CLEANING
• The switch has to be in OFF position and the appliance has to be unplugged from the
power supply before it can be cleaned.
• Wipe the inside and outside of the appliance with a paper towel or a soft cloth. It should
not be washed in a dishwasher (the carriage tilts to make the cleaning easier).
• Do not clean the inside or outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool as this will
damage the finish.
• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• Dry all parts well before storage.
REMOVING THE BLADE (Fig. 4)
• To clean the appliance thoroughly, it is possible to remove the blade.
• Put the switch on the off-position, unplug the appliance and turn the locking device (3)
located in the middle of the blade.
• Make sure you replace the blade in its exact original position after cleaning. Screw the
locking device back on.
• When the blade is detached, make sure that no water penetrates into the appliance!
• Caution! Handle the blade with care, otherwise you might get injured as it is very sharp.
