the vegetable slicer because this could result in serious danger for the
user.

tracted.
-Just slice goods which are listed in the instruction manual.
-Always keep your working environment clean and dry to make sure you
don’t slip and fall.
-Don’t put objects on the slicer which don’t belong there and don’t use
the machine as a storage place
-Before you clean the slicer make sure that the machine is disconnected
from the power outlet.

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, cheese and bread. You
can process the food raw or cooked. Under no circumstances can the food be
frozen.
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. It can also
lead to a failure to operate the machine when the ejector is not installed. This can
lead to a blockage of the vegetable cutter.
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 instruc-
tions takes the operating company.
In case of an emergency turn off the machine by pushing
the RED-button, this turns off the engine immediately.

Operating Elements
The vegetable slicer has five push buttons. By
pushing the green button (10), you start the en-
gine, by pushing the red button (11) you stop the
engine. Around the green button (10) is a frame
to avoid an unintended turn on of the machine. On
the other hand, the red button (11) is elevated to
make a turn off easier.
To choose between the different engine speeds
you need to use the three white buttons, which
are marked with the numbers I, II, III they also
represent the speed levels. Speed level I(button
12) is 250 rpm, level II (button 13) 350 rpm and
level III (button 14) is 450 rpm.
After you turn on the machine speed level Iis in use. By pushing one of the other
two buttons, you can pick different speed levels. When you turn off the machine
by moving the pushing handle (5) the speed level will not change.
When you turn off the machine by pushing the red button (11) or opening the lid
(3) the speed level resets to level I. The glowing of the corresponding button
indicates the active speed level.

7. Use and Operating
Safety instruction for operating the slicer
Description of danger symbols
A general danger symbol, a non-compliance with the safety regulations means
danger.
Prohibition sign "Do not grab inside" (pictogram P015 ac-
cording to EN ISO 7010)
The sign forbids access to the ejector during operation.
It is strictly prohibited to put your fingers in the ejector
while the machine is running. The risk of injury is too
high.
The slicing disks have sharp knives. Be careful when
touching the slicing disks to avoid injuries.
