Intended Use
The Vegetable Slicer is a technical tool which exclusively should be used for its’
intended purpose.
Its only purpose is to slice vegetables in disks, stripes and cubes. You are also
able to grate the vegetables. To achieve the results you want you have to use
the intended slicing disks in the intended chutes.
Approved foods are fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, nuts and bread. You can
process the food raw or cooked. Under no circumstances can the food be fro-
zen.
Any different use of the machine is strictly forbidden.
A misuse of the machine could occur if one uses no or a wrong slicing disk. A
overfilling of the slicer could also result in a misuse of the machine.
The vegetable slicer is intended for industrial use and only should be used by
trained workers of the company.
Personal protective equipment is not needed for the use of the slicer. Stricter
company rules still apply.
It is strictly prohibited to make any reconstructions on the vegetable slicer.
The full responsibility for the intended use and the compliance with safety in-
structions takes the operating company.
In case of an emergency turn off the machine by pushing
the RED-button, this turns off the engine immediately.

belt to the slicer spindle.

Parts and Description
Body (1): built out of stainless steel; fundamental base for the vegeta-
ble slicer.
Lid (2): the removable lid makes sure that there is no unintended con-
tact with the slicing chute.
Pushing handle (4): with the pushing handle it is possible to push the
food with a constant force into the big slicing chute. In the pushing
handle is a smaller chute for the smaller food.
Collecting container (6): the sliced products fall into the collecting
container. To make the cleaning easy the collecting container is re-
movable. You can also use the collecting container for optional cube
gates.
Ejector (7): the ejector is responsible for the transport of the pro-
cessed food to the ejection chute.
Pusher (5): the pusher is located at the smaller chute and the pushing
handle. It makes it easier to get the material through the slicer.
Slicing disks (9): the slicing disks are responsible for the right of the
food. They come in different versions which are to be installed depend-
ing on what the result should look like.
Cube grate (8): the cube grate needs to be installed at the collecting
container. With the adequate slicing disks the food will be processed
into cubes.
Remover (15): the remover is responsible for slicing a hole in big ma-
terial, so that the slicing process doesn’t get interrupted.

6. Installation and Initial Operation
The vegetable slicer is shipped ready for use. This does not include the slicing
disks which have to be ordered separately. The installation and the initial opera-
tion can be done by the user
The table has to fulfill certain requirements:
-Horizontal and flat
-Not slippery
-Table height between 600 and 900 mm
After you placed the slicer on the table plug in the machine in the intended out-
let. The mains plug have to be viewed and easily accessible at any time by the
operator.
Before you do that, make sure that the required specifications on the label are
fulfilled. In case they don’t match don’t plug in the machine or turn it on. In this
case, call the responsible customer service.
The outlet has to comply with the CEE 7/7 standards.
The electrical equipment must be protected by a faulty circuit breaker (RCD) of
type A and a 10 amp fuse. In normal operation of the vegetable slicer a leakage
current higher 3.5 mA may be occurring.
Before the first use make sure you cleaned the slicer. Follow the instructions in
chapter “7 Use and Operating” passage cleaning.
Check the following points with slicing disks not installed.
-Check if the engine turns off when you move the pushing handle to the
left side and if the engine turns back on when you move the pushing
handle back to the right.
-Check if you can turn on the machine when the lid is open and the
pushing handle is on the left side. This should not be possible.
In case the machine is not working properly it needs to get fixed by your cus-
tomer service.
