Safety instructions
The appliance complies with the applicable
safety regulations. Improper usage can, however,
lead to damage to people and property.
Observe the following safety instructions to
ensure safe use of the appliance:
•Before use, check the appliance for externally
visible damage to the casing, the power cord
and plug. Do not use a damaged appliance.
•In the event that the appliance’s power cord
is damaged, it may only be replaced by the
manufacturer or its customer service or
another similarly qualied person in order to
minimise risks.
•Repairs may only be carried out by a specialist
or by Graef customer service. Improper repairs
may result in major dangers to the user. In
addition, this also renders the guarantee
invalid.
•Repairs during the guarantee period of the
appliance may only be carried out by Graef
customer service, otherwise subsequent
damages are no longer covered under the
guarantee.
•Defective components may only be replaced
by original spare parts. Only these components
guarantee that the safety regulations are
complied with.
•This appliance should not be used by persons
(including children) with limited physical,
sensory and mental abilities or a lack of
experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless
they are supervised by a person responsible
for their safety or have received instruction
on how the appliance is to be used.
•The appliance may not be used by children.
The appliance and its power cord must be
kept out of the reach of children.
•Children should be supervised to make sure
they do not play with the appliance.
•The appliance is not designed to be used
with an external timer or a separate remote
control.
•This appliance is designed to be used in the
home and in similar situations, such as: in
employee kitchens for shops and ofces; in

EN
agricultural properties; by guests in hotels,
motels and other accommodation; in bed and
breakfast establishments.
•Always pull out the cord from the socket using
the plug, not the power cord.
•Before connecting the appliance, compare
the connection data (voltage and frequency)
on the data plate with that of your electricity
network. This data must match to ensure that
the appliance does not suffer any damage.
•Do not use the appliance if the power cord or
plug is damaged.
•Before continuing to use the appliance, have
a new power cord installed by Graef customer
service or an authorised specialist.
•Under no circumstances should you open
the casing of the appliance. If live wires are
touched and the electrical and mechanical
structure us changed, there is a danger of
receiving an electric shock.
•Never touch live components. These can give
you an electric shock or even lead to death.
•Do not carry the appliance by the power cord.
•Never move the appliance while it is in use.
•Do not operate the appliance with wet hands.
•When the appliance is not in use, turn the dial
clockwise past the “0” setting as far as it will
go, so that the stop plate covers the blade.
•Packaging may not be used as a toy. There is a
risk of suffocation.
•Do not touch the edge of the blade with your
ngers. It is very sharp and can cause serious
injury.
•Make sure that the appliance is switched off
and unplugged before cleaning or when it is
not in use.
•Check whether the stop plate is closed (blade
covered).
•Do not use any aggressive or scouring cleaning
agents nor any solvents.
•Do not scratch off any tough dirt with hard
objects.
•Do not wash the appliance in water or

submerge it in water.
Unpacking
Unpack the appliance as follows:
•Take the appliance out of its box.
•Remove all packaging.
•Remove any stickers on the appliance (do not
remove the data plate).
Requirements of the location
In order to ensure the safe and awless
operation of the appliance, its location must
full the following requirements:
•The appliance must be placed on a rm, at,
horizontal and non-slip surface which can
bear sufcient load.
•Select the location to ensure children cannot
touch the sharp blade of the appliance.
Possible sources of danger
The very sharp blade can cut off parts of the
body. Your ngers are particularly at risk. For
this reason, do not touch the area between the
stop plate and the food pusher unless the stop
plate is completely closed, i.e. set to “0”.
Child safety
In order to safeguard the blade (stop plate must
be closed, i.e. set to “0”), push the carriage in
front of the blade and push in the carriage lock.
The carriage is then secured.
Short-term operation/automatic shutdown
The appliance has a short operating period
of 5 minutes. To prevent this being greatly
exceeded, the appliance is equipped with an
automatic shutdown function after 10 minutes.
The appliance shuts down but may be restarted
immediately if required.
Overload protection
If the blade is blocked by a hard object (e.g.
bones) during slicing, the blade motor cuts out
immediately, thus protecting the gears and
motor.

EN
Thermo-protection
This appliance has been tted with thermo-
protection. If the appliance overheats after
operating in excess of 10 minutes, the thermo-
switch shuts down the appliance automatically.
Note: This thermo- protection should not
be confused with the automatic shutdown
function. If you can switch on the appliance
again without a problem after it shuts down,
it is an automatic shutdown. However, if the
appliance cannot be switched on again, the
thermo-protection is active.
Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Once
it has cooled (to room temperature if possible),
plug it back in.
You can now switch the appliance on again using
the on/off switch.
Material to be sliced
•You can slice bread, ham, cold meats, cheese,
fruit, vegetables, etc. with the appliance.
•Under no circumstances should you cut hard
objects such as frozen food, bones, wood,
metal or similar.
Slicing
•Place the enclosed tray, a plate or similar
under the appliance.
•Press the material to be sliced lightly against
the stop plate and push the carriage evenly
against the knife.
•Press the on/off switch.
•After you have nished slicing, press the on/
off switch again.
Note: Soft foods (e.g. cheese and ham) can be
sliced more easily if they are chilled. Soft foods
are easier to slice if you push them forward more
slowly. When slicing cucumbers or carrots, it is
easier when they are cut to the same length in
advance and then fed through using the food
holder.
Food holder
The appliance may not be used without an food
holder, unless the size and shape of the material
to be sliced make this impossible.

As soon as the size or shape of the material to
be sliced permits the use of the food holder, it
must be used.
•Place oddments or smaller pieces of food on
the carriage.
•Place the food holder on the back wall of the
carriage and push it up to the material to be
sliced.
•Proceed as described above under “Slicing”.
The food holder enables you to slice smaller
foods, such as mushrooms and tomatoes.
Cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the appliance
with a soft, moist cloth. If it is very dirty, a mild
detergent may be used.
Removing the blade
Please also unscrew the blade from time-to-
time and clean the inside of the appliance. In
particular when “juicy” foods (tomatoes, fruit,
roast meat, etc.) have been sliced. Treat the
blade with utmost care.
•Pull the carriage fully towards you.
•Remove the blade cover by swivelling it about
45° to the right.
•Turn the blade lock to the right and carefully
remove the blade.
•Clean the inner side of the blade with a damp
cloth.
•Follow the instructions in reverse order to
replace the blade and blade cover.
This process must be conducted with the utmost
caution, as it is a very sharp object.
Carriage
In order to clean the carriage better, it can be
removed from the machine.
•Remove the carraige lock on the right of the
carriage.
•Pull the carriage away backwards and remove
it.
•Clean all the parts with a damp cloth or under
running water.

EN
Important: Do not clean the carriage in the
dishwasher!
•Please place a few drops of resin-free oil
or vaseline on the tray guide once a month.
Remove excess oil/vaseline with a soft cotton
cloth.
