INTENDED USE
This device is intended exclusively for slicing normal household foods. The food to be sliced

other use or modification to the equipment shall be considered as improper use and could
give rise to considerable dangers.

the function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific
applications for which the Food Slicer was designed.
Always check of damaged or worn out parts before using the Food Slicer.
Broken parts will affect the Food Slicer operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn

before re-use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
1. The slicer must be connected to a 110–120V AC electricity supply only.
2. Always pull the plug out of the socket before you clean the slicer or when you have
finished using it. To disconnect the device from the electricity supply, never pull the plug
out using the power cord, always pull directly on the plug.
3. Indoor use only. Never immerse the device in water and do not expose the device to rain
or moisture. If the device should fall into water, first pull the plug out of the socket and
only then remove the device from the water. Afterwards have the slicer examined by an
authorized service center before you use it again.
4. Do not use the slicer if your hands are wet or if you are standing on a wet floor. Do not
use the slicer if it is wet or moist.
5. The slicer is designed exclusively for domestic use and not for commercial purposes.
6. Set up and store the slicer out of reach of children
7. Do not leave the slicer unattended.
8. Always ensure that the slicer is safely set up or installed before you start to use it
9. The slicer should always be used with the sliding feed table and piece holder in position,
unless this is not possible due to the size or shape of the food. Do not use the slicer to
slice through bones or deep-frozen food.
10. Do not use the slicer if it is damaged in any way. Have the slicer immediately repaired at

an authorized service center.
11. Use the slicer with the supplied accessories only.
12. No claims under the warranty or liability for damages will be accepted if they result from
improper or incorrect use of the slicer.
13. Switch off the slicer before removing knife or approaching it during use.
14. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
OPERATING THE SLICER
BEFORE FIRST USE
Take the slicer carefully out of its packaging. Remove all the packaging material and keep it
together with the packaging. Clean the slicer before it comes into contact with any food (refer
to the Cleaning section of this manual for additional information.)
SETTING UP THE SLICER
1. Never set the slicer up on a hot surface or near an open flame.
2. Make sure that the power cord does not pass over hot or sharp edged objects.
3. Do not allow the mains lead to become kinked or trapped and do not wind it around the
slicer.
Set up the slicer on a flat, non-slip surface close to an electrical socket
Unwind the required length of mains lead, inset the plug into the mains socket
Push the piece holder on to the sliding feed table
SLICING
1. WARNING: Never touch the blade when the slicer is operating! Danger of injury!
2. Always use the piece holder when possible. Press the piece of food to be sliced forward
using the piece holder.
3. Use the slicer only for slicing normal household foods.
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.
6. For reasons of safety, the slice thickness must be returned to the “ 0” setting after use.
RUNNING THE SLICER
Pushing the switch to “ON” causes the cutting blade to run. Stopping continuous operation:
Move the switch quickly into the “ OFF” position and wait until the cutting blade comes to a
complete standstill.
SETTING THE SLICE THICKNESS
The slice thickness can be set to between 0 and approx.12mm (1/2in.). Set the required slice
thickness using the knob. For safety reasons the blade is covered when it is placed in
setting ”0”.
Place the food to be sliced on the sliding feed table. Press the food to be sliced with the piece
holder (5) lightly against the food support plate (8). Switch the device on and, whilst lightly
pressing the food to be sliced forward, guide it along the cutting blade (3). After using the
slicer always set the food support plate into the “0” setting so that the sharp blade is covered.

The cutting blade (5) is ideally suitable for cutting wafer-thin slices of cold cuts of boiled ham.
To safeguard your fingers always use the sliding feed table (4) and the piece holder (5)
(except perhaps when slicing large pieces of food).
Cleaning
1. Before starting to clean the slicer, switch it off, pull the plug out of the outlet and set the
food support plate into the “0” setting.
2. Do not immerse the slicer in water.
3. Danger of injury: the cutting blade is very sharp!
It is necessary to clean the slicer at regular intervals as perishable food scraps could
accumulate on the slicer or behind the cutting blade. Remove the piece holder and clean it in
warm water and dish soap.
Clean the housing behind the blade with a dry cloth or a soft brush.
