❑Never cut food by only using your hands. Always use the slide and
its food guide unless it is impossible because of the size and
dimension of the food to slice. Make sure never to touch the blade.
❑This kind of appliance cannot function continuously; it is not a
professional type of appliance. It is necessary to make temporary
stops. Check the section « Important information » in the instruction
manual.
❑The blade of this appliance is extremely sharp; always be very careful
when using or cleaning the appliance.
❑It is absolutely necessary to keep this appliance clean at all times as
it comes into direct contact with food.
❑Never touch the blade when the appliance is in use. Furthermore,
never try to stop the movement of the blade in any way.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Specific safety advice on the setting up the slicer
1. Make sure that the mains lead does not pass over hot or sharp –
edged objects.
2. Do not allow the power cord to become kinked or trapped and do
not wind it around the slicer.
3. Set up the slicer on a flat, non-slip surface close to an electrical
socket.
4. Always place the pusher (2) on to the sliding tray (6) before use.
Specific safety advice for using the slicer
1. Never touch the blade when the slicer is operating! Danger of
injury!
2. Always use the pusher (except perhaps for very large pieces of
food). Press the piece of food to be sliced forward using the pusher.
3. Use the slicer only for slicing normal household food and not for any
other purposes. Do not use the slicer for slicing deep-frozen food,
bones, food with large kernels or for slicing deep-frozen or
packaged food.
4. Never use the slicer for more than 10 minutes continuously.

5. The cutting blade continues to rotate after the slicer has been
switched off. Wait until the blades have stopped completely.
6. For safety reasons, the slice thickness dial must be returned to the
“P” position after use.
7. Be careful of the blade at all times. Blade is very sharp!
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into
the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into
the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension
cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
•The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of
the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too
low, it could overheat and burn.
•The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on or
tripped over.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This appliance is not for commercial use. You should follow the
requested breaks. Failure to follow this instruction carefully may result in
damage to the motor. Please refer to the rating label for the maximum
continuous usage time (KB xx min where xx is the maximum usage time).
The breaks should last at least 30 minutes.

USING THE SLICER
For safety purposes, your appliance is fitted with a sliding food carriage
(6), a thumb guard (1) and a pusher (2), which will keep your hands
protected, while giving an exceptional comfort of use. The sliding food
carriage allows making back and forth motions along the blade to cut
the slices. Use the handle of the carriage to move it. The pusher allows
you to hold the food in position when slicing by holding your hand far
from the blade. Therefore, it is recommended to always use it except if
the food is too large and in this case, keep your hands as far as possible
from the blade.
•Clean all parts of the appliance before the first use (see section:
CLEANING).
•Make sure the appliance is steady and add the pusher (2) on the
carriage (6).
•Plug in the appliance in a wall outlet. The slicer is now ready to use.
•Place a plate or a dish below the blade, at the back of the
appliance, to collect the slices.
•Move the carriage away from the blade and lay the food to be
sliced on the stainless-steel surface of the carriage.
•Push the food against the back plate (3) of the appliance with the
pusher (2) and select the slicing thickness –up to1/2” - by turning
the adjusting knob (8).
•Place the switch (9) to the “ON” position. The blade will start
rotating and the pilot light of the switch goes on.
•Push the carriage using your thumb on the thumb guard (1) to bring
the food towards the blade (4). Use the handle of the carriage and
keep the pressure on the back plate of the appliance using the
pusher. Do not apply too much pressure, for best results.
•If it becomes difficult to slice the food, move back a little bit and
start the operation again by approaching the blade slowly.
•To avoid food sticking to the appliance, and to improve the slicing,
you can moisten or oil the blade surface with a towel beforehand.
•If it becomes difficult to slide the tray along the bar, it is
recommended to apply a small amount of low odor vegetable oil /
canola oil to the bar with a paper towel. This helps keep the tray
moving smoothly.

•Do not slice meat with bones, food with large seeds, or food still
wrapped (string, wrappers, and aluminum foil).
•Do not attempt to slice extremely hard or deep frozen food.
•Once slicing is complete, switch the appliance off and wait until the
blade comes to a complete standstill. Place the thickness
adjustment dial in the “P” position.

STORAGE
When not in use, it is recommended that the thickness adjustment dial
gets turned down all the way until the mark “P”, so that the blade’s
sharp edge is concealed - this to avoid any risk of accidental cuts or
injuries.
CLEANING
It is necessary to clean the slicer at regular intervals as perishable food
scraps could accumulate on the slicer or behind the slicing blade.
•Always make sure that the appliance is switched “0FF” and is
unplugged from the power supply before cleaning the appliance!
•Wipe the inside and housing of the appliance and the surface of
the blade with a damp paper towel or a soft cloth.
•Do not clean the housing with any abrasive scouring pad or steel
wool as this will damage the finish.
•This slicer is equipped with a special feature: the sliding carriage (6)
is removable for cleaning in warm soapy water. It should not be
washed in a dishwasher. To proceed:
1. Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
2. Set the thickness adjustment dial in the “P” position.

•Dry all parts well before storage.
•DANGER! BLADE IS VERY SHARP!
REMOVING BLADE FOR DEEP CLEANING
•Switch off the appliance and unplug it from the power socket.
•To remove the blade, turn the locking device (5), located in the
center on the blade, clockwise to remove the blade by hand (no

•To put the blade back in place, proceed inversely and lock the
blade by turning the locking device counter-clockwise.
•Be very careful during this operation as the blade is very sharp!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•A lubricant paste is applied at the factory to ensure correct
lubrication for the first couple of usage. After this, the first time you
remove the blade, the user can remove the extra lubrication paste
or leave it. The paste is food safe. No extra lubrication will be
needed afterwards.
•Cautiously cleaning the blade surface after use as indicated in the
user manual should avoid cross-contamination. Deep cleaning by
removing the blade shall only be necessary from time to time.
