following:
DANGER Danger of electric shock! Do not attempt to repair the product
yourself. In case of malfunction, repairs are to be conducted by

• The product shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the product.

Operation
Switching on/off
• Switching on: Set the on/off switch (C) to I.
• Switching off: Set the on/off switch (C) to 0.
NOTICE Shredder runs briefly after each pass to clear entry. Continuous
operation beyond 30 minutes triggers a 10-minute cool down
period.
Control panel
AUTO: While in “AUTO” mode, the motor does not start running until paper or
CD/card is inserted into the feed slot. Always feed the paper in as straight as
possible. When the paper or CD/card has passed through, the motor stops
automatically.
When the “AUTO” mode is activated, the button lights up blue.
To deactivate the “AUTO” mode, press again.
Reverse: In an unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used
to help clear the cutters of material that did not pass through. Before clearing
a jam by using the reverse function, empty both bins.

event of a paper jam. It also allows to manually activate the shredding mode.

centre area to activate the motor (especially
applies to smaller pieces of paper or credit
cards).
The
motor is
constantly
operating
while in
“AUTO”
mode.
The sensor(s) is
dirty.
Deactivate the “AUTO” mode.
Clean the sensors of both feed slots with a dry
cotton swab.
The sensors are located near the centre of the
feed slot.

the paper is jammed. Let it soak for about
30minutes and repeat the procedure.
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
