Dispose of the packing
The packing protects the unit from
shipping damage. The packing
materials are selected for their en-
vironmental compatibility and from
disposal aspects so they are recy-
clable.
Returning the packing to the ma-
terials circuit saves raw materials
and reduces the accumulation of
waste. Dispose of packing material
that is no longer needed at a col-
lection point for the »Green Point«
recycling system.
important!
►If possible, save the original
packing during the unit's
warranty period to be able to
properly pack the unit in case
of a warranty claim.
Requirements for the in-
stallation location
For safe and awless operation of
the unit, the place of location must
meet these prerequisites:
■The unit must be set up on a
rm, at, level and non-slip base
that has sufcient load bearing
capacity.
■Select the place of location so
that children cannot reach the
sharp blade in the unit.
Electric connection
Follow these instructions about the
electrical connection for safe and
awless operation of the unit:
■Before connecting the unit, com-
pare the connection information
(voltage and frequency) on the
rating plate with those of your
electrical network. This informa-
tion must match to avoid dam-
age to the unit. If in doubt, ask
your electrician.
■Make sure that the connecting
cable is not damaged. Do not
conduct it over hot surfaces or
sharp edges.
■The connector cable must not be
pulled tight.
■The electrical safety of the unit
is only ensured if it is connected
to a properly installed protective
conductor system. Operation
on a socket without a protec-
tive conductor is prohibited. If in
doubt, have the building instal-
lation checked by an electrician.
The manufacturer does not as-
sume any responsibility for dam-
ages caused by a missing or in-
terrupted protective conductor.

Safety instructions
CAUTION
Follow the safety instructions
below to prevent hazards and
property damage:
►Do not touch the cutter blade
with your ngers. It is very
sharp and cause severe injuries.

Sources of hazards
WARNING
The rotating blade can cut off
body parts. Your ngers, especially
the thumbs, are endangered. For
this reason, never reach into the
space between the stop plate and
the holder for the material to be
sliced as long as the stop plate
is not completely closed, i.e., is
placed below "0".
Child-proof safety catch
You can push the carriage in front
of the blade and press in the car-
riage lock (child-proof safety catch)
to secure the blade (the stop plate
must be closed, i.e. be positioned
under "0"). The carriage ts snug-
ly.
Cutting with the quick-ac-
tion switch
Place the items to be sliced on
the carriage.
Set the desired slicing thickness.
Press the items to be sliced
slightly against the stop plate
and uniformly guide the car-
riage against the blade.
Use your thumb to press the
quick-action switch - that
switches on the motor.
Press your thumb against the
quick-action switch while slic-
ing.
As soon as you remove your
thumb from the quick-action
switch the motor switches off.
Cutting with the continu-
ous operation switch
Use the continuous operation
switch to slice large quantities.
Place the items to be sliced on
the carriage.
Set the desired slicing thickness.
Press the items to be sliced
slightly against the stop plate
and uniformly guide the car-
riage against the blade.
Turn the continuous operation
switch clockwise up the limit
stop (1/4 turn).
Turn the continuous operation
switch back to turn off the unit.
Let the motor cool off after us-
ing continuously for approx. 9.5
minutes.
important!
►Soft items to be sliced (e.g.,
cheese or ham) can be sliced
best when cool.
►Soft items can be sliced better
when you push them slowly
forward.
►When slicing cucumbers or
carrots, it is advantageous
if they are cut to a uniform
length beforehand and then
fed in with the food holder.

30° tilt
The tilt function is especially use-
ful when slicing bread, dry sausage
and vegetables. The tilt function
takes advantage of the natural
gravity of the items to be sliced
while feeding.
To tilt the unit, proceed as below:
Press the lock button. The unit is
unlatched.
Pull the unit up powerfully with
the tilting lever until you hear it
latch.
The unit is only secured if you
hear it latch.
You can now continue as de-
scribed under "Slicing".
After completing the slicing
process, swivel the unit back.
Turn the tilting lever down.
The arresting bolt latches in by
pressing on the rear part of the
prole.
GENIO carriage
The GENIO carriage uses its spring-
loaded carriage support to keep
the items to be sliced in the start
position. It continuously adapts to
the size and weight of the items
to be sliced, bringing them from
the hard anodized aluminium slic-
ing support into the ideal position.
That makes additional xation as
used in conventional carriages un-
necessary while at the same time
absolutely precluding the food
from slipping or rolling off. Re-
gardless of what is to be sliced, the
GENIO carriage completely rede-
nes slicing thanks to its enormous
exibility, great operating comfort
and ergonomic handling together
with new high standards for safety,
simplicity and speed.
The unique spring mechanism
keeps the GENIO carriage adapted
to the particularities of the items to
be sliced. They cannot roll off and
they can always be ideally and ef-
fortlessly guided to the blade.
If you happen to want to slice heavy
items (such as bread or ham), you
can lock the slicing support.
Press the arresting bolt and then
press down the slicing support. Re-
lease the bolt again.
To unlatch, press the bolt; the slic-
ing support springs up.

Universal Slicer Master M 6 / M 9 / M 91

EN
Food holder
When the items to be sliced are
shorter and 10 cm so it is no long-
er possible to correctly hold onto
them, the food holder must be
used.
Place the food rests or the small
items for slicing on the carriage.
Set the food holder on the rear
of the carriage and put the food
holder onto the items to be
sliced.
Proceed as above as described in
"Slicing".
important!
►The food holder lets you slice
small items such as mushrooms
and tomatoes.
►The unit must not be used
without the food holder unless
the size and shape of the items
to be sliced do not permit its
use.
Blade sharpener
Use the enclosed blade sharpener
to re-sharpen the blade when the
cutter becomes too dull.
Turn the slicing thickness to 15.
Put the blade sharpener on the
carriage.
Push the carriage forwards until
the blade sharpener touches the
blade.
Switch on the unit.
Switch the unit back off after 2
- 3 blade rotations.
Check the blade to see if there
are any burrs.
Move your nger slowly from
the inner to the outer edge. If
you detect a beaded grade, the
blade is sharp.
You should now use the honing
stone.
Put the blade sharpener back on
the blade.
Press the press lever for the
grindstone.
Switch on the unit.
Switch the unit back off after
one blade rotation.
Please also read the operating in-
structions enclosed with the blade
sharpener.
