IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following. Read
all instructions.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
Defective electrical installation or excessive line voltage could
lead to electric shock.
− Only connect the multi-slicer if the line voltage of the
socket corresponds to the data on the rating plate.
− Only connect the multi-slicer to an easily accessible socket
so that you can quickly pull the plug in an emergency.
− Always plug the multi-slicer into an earthed socket.
− Do not operate another high voltage appliance on the
same circuit with the multi-slicer to avoid circuit overload.
− Do not use the multi-slicer if the housing or cord is
defective or has other visible damages. In the event
of damage, only have the multi-slicer serviced by the

manufacturer, its customer service team or a similarly
qualified person to avoid risks.
− Never operate the multi-slicer when it has a damaged
cord or plug, when it is not working properly, after it has
been dropped or damaged, or after it has been dropped
into water. Return the multi-slicer to a service center for
examination and repair.
− If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
− Plug the cord into a socket only when the multi-slicer is
properly assembled.
− Only use the multi-slicer indoors, and in dry areas away
from water.
− Never open the housing of the multi-slicer.
− Never drop or insert any object into any openings.
− Never try to repair the multi-slicer yourself. All repairs
must be carried out solely by a qualified electrician.
− Keep the main unit, cord and plug away from water and
other fluids.
− Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
− Do not use the multi-slicer outdoors or operate where
aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen
is being administered.
− Never operate the multi-slicer with the air openings
blocked or while on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch,
where it is possible for the air openings to be blocked.
Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and similar objects.
− Do not touch the plug of the multi-slicer with wet hands.
− Always pull the plug and not the cord to disconnect the
multi-slicer from the socket.
− Never use the cord of the multi-slicer as a carrying strap.

− Ensure that the cord of the multi-slicer is not damaged,
tightly stretched or kinked and is not laying over sharp
edges.
− Do not let the cord of the multi-slicer hang over the edge
of table or counter.
− Never store the multi-slicer so that there is a risk of falling
into a bathtub or sink.
− Never reach to retrieve the multi-slicer if it has fallen in
water. In such case, immediately pull the plug. Have the
multi-slicer checked before using it again.
− Do not operate the multi-slicer with an external timer or
separate remote control system.
− Always turn the multi-slicer off and pull the plug out of the
socket:
• if you are not using the multi-slicer,
• before you clean the multi-slicer,
• before you assemble the accessories,
• before you move the multi-slicer,
• if a fault occurs,
• in the event of a storm.
− Do not use extension cords or sockets that do not have
sufficient capacity. Care should be taken to arrange the
cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.
− Do not modify the plug in any way. The multi-slicer has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a
polarized 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 to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
− WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons, do not leave the multi-slicer unattended
