6. Operation
The possible uses of Brunner-Anliker’s GSM 5 Vegetable Slicer, the standard model, are already very diverse. With
Brunner-Anliker’s GSM 5 Star however, you can expand the cutting types by Brunoises “BR”, Gaufrettes “PG” and
the “Spaghetti cutter”. Observe the following points when inserting the cutting or grating discs:
6.1 Correct insertion of cutting or grating discs
How you can insert cutting or grating discs is described below.
6.2.1 Preparing the GSM 5 Vegetable Slicer
In order to insert a cutting disc, open the Latch first and swivel the hop-
per head to the left.
Figure 11:Hopper head folded back
6.2.2 Insert the ejector
Before inserting a disc, the ejector or ejection plate must be mounted. If
inserted correctly, this almost touches the base of the cutting compart-
ment. Without the ejector/ejection plate, the cutting material will accu-
mulate underneath the cutting disc, while the discs are pressed upward,
scratching the cutter head and damaging the blades.
Figure 12:Assembling the ejector
6.2.3 Insert the cutting or grating disc
Now place the disc onto the drive shaft. A short rotation will engage the
disc in the drive pin at the drive shaft, seating the top of the disc correct-
ly, i.e. “flush with the drive shaft”.
To enable the correct placement of the blade disc, the hub and drive pin
have to be clean.
Figure 13:Inserted disc
WARNING!
•The blades and grater perforations are very sharp and are now exposed.
•Risk of cuts and skin abrasions!

6.2 Cutting inserts W (cubes), cutting disc Brunoises BR, Gaufrettes PG and Spaghetti Cutter
The so-called cutting inserts consist of at least 2 parts, while the
6.2.1 cubes “W”
consist of a cubing-grid and cube blade
The cube blades are marked on the upper surface. The cubing-grids con-
sisting of black glass-fibre compound are marked underneath on the rim.
First insert the cubing-grid with the sharp side facing up.
Figure 14:Cubing-grid
Once the cubing-grid is inserted, place the appropriate blade onto the drive shaft. Ensure that the cube
blade correctly engages in the drive pin on the drive shaft. Rotating the blade carefully and gently in anti-
clockwise direction will make it engage in the drive pins on the drive shaft and seat it correctly, its “top
flush” with the drive shaft.
Now swivel the hopper head backwards and follows the next stops, “Slic-
ing vegetables correctly”
To remove a cutting insert W ( = cube) you first have to rotate and hold
the cube knife in anti-clockwise direction to release the bayonet catch.
You can then carefully lift out both parts together from below.
Figure 15:Cubeknifes
WARNING!
•The cube knifes and cubing-grids are very sharp and are now exposed.
•Risk of cuts and skin abrasions!
ATTENTION!
•Every cubing-grid has a matching cube knifes
. Ensure that the matching parts
are inserted.
•Mixing differently sized cubing-grids and knifes
can lead to immediate damage
and possibly to required repairs.

6.2.2 Brunoises “BR” and Gaufrettes “PG”
Cutting of Brunoises “BR” and Gaufrettes “PG” is only possible with the GSM 5 Star model. The BR and PG
blades are specially equipped with a tappet / pin, thus allowing the flower-shaped filling neck to rotate,
which in turn leads to the respective vegetable cutting form. It is imperative that the cutting material is
inserted in the rotating filling neck, not higher than the swivel support and pushed down with the help of
the rotating pusher.
When inserting the 2 disc types BR and PG, always ensure that the drive pin (on the upper side of the disc)
is engaged and that the hopper head is easily closed.
If the hopper head cannot be easily closed, the tappet / pin will be positioned directly on the driver. Ro-
tate the disc slightly to engage the tappet / pin and to easily close the hopper head.
6.2.1 Spaghetti cutter
Cutting vegetable spaghetti is only possible with the GSM 5 Star model.
The spaghetti cutter consists of 5 parts
•Base plate
•Driver
•2 mm cutting insert
•3 mm cutting insert
•Garland cutting insert
Application: Open the hopper head and insert the driver with the tappet facing upwards. Press the re-
quired cutting insert onto the upper side of the base plate. Place both parts onto the basic unit and rotate
in anti-clockwise direction until they engage. Close the hopper head and push the vegetables snugly into
the flower-shaped filling neck. The vegetables must be fully inserted into the rotating filling neck. Start
the machine with the Latch and use the rotating pusher to push down the vegetables. Important: Do not
use the ejector, as this will destroy the vegetable spaghetti.
Tip: The following vegetables are particularly suitable
•Large carrots
•Large “Pfälzer” yellow carrots
•Parsnips
•Zucchini
•Red onions (garlands)
•Kohlrabi
The tighter the vegetables in the rotating filling neck, the better the cut.

6.3 Cutting of vegetables
Place a suitable container under the outlet of the machine. Gastronorm containers with a height of 150
mm at 2/3 or 1/2 sizes are ideally suited to fit underneath the machine.
1. Remove the pusher plate from the kidney-shaped feed opening and swivel away to the left.
2. Fill the feed opening with the vegetables.
3. Return the pusher plate to the stop (i.e. the pusher plate is on top of the vegetables above the
kidney-shaped feed opening)
4. Close the Latch or push it downwards and start the machine.
5. Guide the pusher (by lightly pressing onto the vegetables) so that it is always on the disc body to
maintain an optimal cut.
6. As soon as the feed opening is empty - repeat the process 1-5 times ?????.
7. When all the vegetables have been processed, unlock the Latch to stop the machine. (Switched
off)
If you want to cut the vegetables in “oriented” manner - such as onions or tomatoes - you also have to fill
the feed opening in “oriented” manner.
Tip: If you stand long vegetables upright into the feed opening, you will receive small, diagonally cut piec-
es. If you place long vegetables on their side, you will receive long pieces.
You can also use the feed opening on the right to continuously fill long vegetables such as leeks, celery
sticks, spring onions, cucumbers, radishes, etc.
It is imperative that you use the right (rotating) feed opening for Brunoises and Gaufrettes.
ATTENTION:
•The pusher plate only serves to guide the vegetables. Strong pressure is un-
necessary and lessens the cutting quality.
•
Strong pressure will also not increase the output quantity / performance in
any way.

7. System maintenance “Cleaning concept”
7.1 Cleaning the GSM 5 Vegetable Slicer
The GSM 5 Vegetable Slicer is manufactured from low-maintenance stainless steel and is therefore easy
to clean. The hopper head can be removed completely for cleaning purposes.
Hopper head, pusher and ejector can be cleaned and disinfected in the dishwasher. The cutting compart-
ment of the basic unit can be cleaned with a damp cloth or with the brush provided.
However, the vegetable slicer (basic unit) may not be cleaned in the dishwasher!
WARNING!
•The basic machines may not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
7.2 Cleaning the blades and inserts
You can use the nylon brush included in the delivery scope to easily clean the blades and grater discs, as
well as the inserts, under running water.
Due to the use of a high-performance, glass-fibre compound, these parts can also be cleaned in the dish-
washer or in the combi-steamer at 90°C! You can then easily remove the vegetables (under running wa-
ter) using the brush provided.
WARNING!
•Please note that the use of the dishwasher to clean the blades may negatively influ-
ence the service life of the blades.
