have to be in conformity so that no damage
can occur.
•Do not use the unit when the connection
cable or the plug is damaged.
•Before reusing, have the unit tted with a

•Never carry the unit by its power cable.
•Never transport the unit during operation.
•Never operate the unit with wet hands.
•In idle state, turn the adjustment know
clockwise to zero setting so that the stop
plate covers the knife blade.
•Packaging materials must not be used for

Unpacking
Proceed as follows to unpack the unit:
•Remove the unit from the box.
•Remove the packaging parts.
•Remove any stickers on the unit (do not
remove the typeplate).
Requirements on the installation location
For safe and faultfree operation of the unit,
the following requirements of the installation
location have to be met:
•The unit has to be placed on a solid, at,
horizontal and non-slipping surface mit a
sufcient weight-carrying capacity.
•Choose the location in such a way that children
cannot reach the sharp blade of the unit.
Safety hazards
The very sharp blade(G) can cut off parts of the
body. Your ngers are especially endangered. For
this reason, do not reach into the space between
the stop plate (F) and the blade (G) as long as the
stop plate (F) is not closed completely, i.e. set to
“0”.
Child safety lock
In order to secure the blade (G), (the stop plate
(F) has to be closed (i.e. set to “0”)), the slide
(E) can be moved in front of the blade (G) and
the slide bar (L) can be pressed in. The slide (E)
is stuck.
Short-time operation
This unit has been tted with short-time
operation system of 5 minutes.
Overload protection
If the blade (G) is blocked by a hard object
(such as bones) during the cutting process, the
machine is switched off in order to protect the
gear and the motor. Carefully remove the cause

of blockage; in the process keep your ngers
away from the hazard area, and restart the
unit.
Cutting material
•The unit can be used to cut bread, ham,
sausage, cheese, fruit, vegetables, et cetera.
•By no means cut hard objects, such as frozen
food, bones, wood, sheet metal or similar.
Using switch for intermittent cutting operation
•Place a tray, a plate or something similar
below the unit.
•Choose the requested slicing thickness (B).
•Press the material gently to the stop plate (F)
and the slide (E) to the blade (G) evenly.
•Hold the upper switch (I) pressed and tap the
rear switch (I).
Note:Soft food (such as cheese or ham) can
be sliced best when cooled. Soft food can be
cut better when pushed slowly. When slicing
cucumbers or carrots, it is advantagous if they
are cut to equal lengths rst which are then fed
using the food holder (D).
Using switch for continuous cutting operation
•Place a tray, a plate or something similar
below the unit.
•Choose the requested slicing thickness (B).
•Press the material gently to the stop plate (F)
and the slide (E) to the blade (G) evenly.
•Hold the two switches (I) pressed and release
the upper switch rst.
•The switch for continuous operation is
activated; you can now start cutting the
material.
•In order to reactivate continuous cutting
operation, press one of the two switches (I).
•Note:Soft food (such as cheese or ham) can
be sliced best when cooled. Soft food can be
cut better when pushed slowly. When slicing
cucumbers or carrots, it is advantagous if
they are cut to equal lengths rst which are
then fed using the holder for remainders.

EN
Food holder
The unit must not be used without the food
holder (D) unless the size and shape of the food
permits use without.
As soon as the size or shape of the food permits
the use of the food holder, this has to be used.
•Place the remainders or smaller food on the
slide (E).
•Place the food holder (D) at the rear wall of
the slide and move the food holder (D) up to
the food to be cut.
•Proceed as described above in chapter
“Cutting”.
The food holder (D) permit slicing of smaller
food, such as mushrooms or tomatoes.
Cleaning
Remove the power plug before cleaning the
unit.
Use a soft and moist cloth to clean the outer
surfaces of the unit. Use a mild detergent in
case of heavy soiling.
Preservation of value - blade
Foralong-lasting sharpnessandforapreservation
of the value of your Graef blade we recommend
that the blade be cleaned in regular intervals,
especially after cutting cured meat or ham. They
contain salts which when on the blade surface
for a longer period of time could produce so-
called “rust lm” ( on “stainless steel” as well).
When cutting products which contain a lot of
water, such as tomatoes or cucumbers, a lack
or wrong (too “wet”) cleaning may produce
rust on the blade surface. For this reason we
recommend that you use a moist cloth and a bit
of detergent, if and when necessary, to clean
the blade directly after use. Never put the
blade in a dishwasher, rstly due to decrease
in sharpness and corrosion resistance (salts
attack the blade), and secondly due to safety in
handling the blade whilst loading and unloading
the dishwasher.
Removing the blade
Remove the power plug before removing the
blade.

Unscrew the blade (G) in regular intervals and
clean the unit on the inside. Do this, especially
“juicy” cutting material (tomatoes, fruit,
roasts, et cetera) are cut. Handle the blade (G)
with great care.
•Pull the slide towards yourself.
•Undo the blade cover plate (H) by turning it
45 deg. to the right. Note: You can turn the
blade cover plate (H) by 45 deg. by hand or
alternatively you put a coin (such as 1 Euro
coin) into the slot provided and turn the blade
cover plate (H) by 45 deg. then. Do not press
to much because it may happen you cannot
remove the blade (G) directly.
•Turn the blade lock 90 deg. to the right and
carefully remove the blade (G).
•Use a moist cloth to clean the inside of the
blade (G).
•From time to time the cogwheel of the blade
should be greased.
•Place the blade (G) and the blade cover plate
(H) in reverse order. Place the blade cover
plate (H), turn it clockwise by 45 deg. until it
snaps in briey and does not drop off.
•Place the blade with the greatest of care as it
is a very sharp object.
Slide
In order to clean the slide (E) better, remove it
from the unit.
•Pull the slide bar (L) out of the slide (E) on
the right-hand side.
•Pull the slide (E) towards yourself and remove.
•Use a moist cloth or running water to clean
all parts.
Important: Do not clean the slide in a dishwasher!
•Once a month, add some drops of resin-free
oil or petroleum jelly to the slideway. Use a
soft cottonwool cloth to remove excessive oil
/ petroleum jelly.
After-sales service
If you Graef unit should be damaged, please get
in touch with your specialist dealer or with a
Graef after-sales service.
