Before the First Usage

First steps
 Carefully remove the electric Multi-Purpose
Slicer from its packaging, remove all packag-
ing materials and keep them together with the
main packaging.
 Clean the electric Multi-Purpose Slicer before it
comes into contact with any foodstuffs (see also
the chapter ‘Cleaning’).

Setting up the appliance
Specific safety advice on the
placing of the appliance
1. Never set the electric Multi-Purpose Slicer up
on a hot surface or near an open flame.
2. Ensure that the power cable 8does not pass
over hot or sharp-edged objects.
3. Do not allow the power cable 8to become
kinked or trapped and do not wrap it around
the electric Multi-Purpose Slicer.
 Set the electric Multi-Purpose Slicer up on a
flat, non-slip surface close to a power socket.
 Unwind the required length of power cable 8.
Insert the plug into the power socket.
 Place the food carriage 10 on the supporting
table with guide slot 9(see Fig. B). Now
press the on the blade cover 6high standing
side down, so that the holding clamps (on the
underside of the food carriage 10 ) engage. En-
sure that these have correctly engaged, in that
you check the mobility of the food carriage. Pull
to the front for removal of the food carriage 10
from the guide slot 9and lift it from the sup-
port table 9.
 Push the food holder plate 11 on to the food
carriage 10 .
 Place the catch tray 17 below the support
table 9and on the housing such that the
sliced foods can fall in there directly and with-
out hindrance after being cut.

Adjust the infinite slice-thick-
ness setting (see Fig. D)
Through variable tightenings of the adjusting
screws 16 you can determine the movement rate
of the infinite slice-thickness setting 14 .
 Screw both of the adjusting screws 16 tight
with the screwdriver 15 .
 Check, by turning the infinite slice-thickness
control knob 14 , to see if the desired movement
rate is suitable.
If it is not,
- loosen both adjusting screws 16 for a lighter
movement rate or
- tighten both adjusting screws 16 further for a
stiffer movement rate.

Working advice
Specific safety advice for
slicing and for the handling of
the appliance
1. Never touch the cuttingblade 12 when the slic-
er is in operation!
There is a risk of grave personal injury!
2. Always use the food carriage 10 and the food
holder plate 11 .
(Exception: very large pieces of foodstuff).
Press the pieces of food to be sliced forward
using the food holder 11 .
3. Use the slicer only for cutting normal house-
hold foods and not for other purposes. Do not
use the slicer for cutting deep-frozen foods,
bones, foods with large kernels or for the
slicing of still packaged foods.
4. Never use the slicer continuously for more than
10 minutes .

9GB/IE
Operation
5. The cutting blade 12 continues to rotate for a
short while after the slicer has been switched off.
6. For reasons of safety, the slice thickness must
be returned to the „0“ setting after use.
Soft foodstuffs:
 Direct the food carriage 10 slowly against the
cutter 12 . Soft foodstuffs, for example hams or
cheeses, are best cut when they are at a low
temperature / lightly chilled.
Hard foodstuffs:
 With hard foodstuffs you can direct the food car-
riage 10 somewhat faster against the cutter 12 .
You can thus quickly prepare your required
amount of of sliced foods, for example salami,
bread or gherkins.

Selecting mode of operation
Note:
The two operating modes can be switched on
and off with the rocker switch for intermittent /
continuous operation 3.
Continuous operation / max. 10 minutes
(switch in position „I“):
 Set the switch for intermittent / continuous oper-
ation 3to position „I“. The cutting blade 12
runs without it being necessary to hold the switch
in this position.
Halting continuous operation: Move the switch
for intermittent / continuous operation 3into
the „0“ position and wait until the cutting blade
comes to a complete standstill.
Intermittent operation (switch for
intermittent / continuous operation
in position „II“):
 Set the switch for intermittent / continuous
operation 3to position „II“.The cutting blade
will continue to run for as long as the switch
for intermittent / continuous operation is
held in this position. Halting intermittent opera-
tion: Release the switch for intermittent/contin-
uous operation 3and wait until the cutting
blade comes to a complete standstill.

Setting the Vario-switch
cutting blade speed
Low revolutions / Revolution symbol
narrow end:
 Set a low revolution speed when you want to
cut soft foodstuffs.Push the Vario-switch 2
completely in the direction of the sharp end.
High revolutions / Revolution symbol
wide end:
 Use a high revolution speed for slicing hard
foodstuffs. Push the Vario-switch 2completely
in the direction of the broad end.
Note: Between the maximum and minimum
adjustments you can naturally also carry out
further individual settings. Practice appropriate
trial slicings.

Slice thickness - setting
and cutting
Set the required slice thickness using the control
knob 14 (see Figure C). The settings on the scale
do not correspond with the slice thickness in mm.
For safety reasons the cuttingblade 12 is covered
in setting „0“.
 Place the food to be sliced on the food
carriage 10 .
If necessary, press the food to be sliced with
the food holder plate 11 lightly against the
food support 13 .
 Switch the appliance on and, whilst lightly
pressing the food to be sliced forward, guide
it along the cutting blade 12 . After using the
slicer always set the food support plate 13 into
the „0“ setting so that the sharp blade is covered.
The cutting blade 12 is ideally suitable for cut-
ting wafer-thin slices of cold cuts or boiled ham
(see Fig. A).
 To safeguard your fingers always use the food
carriage 10 and the food holder plate 11 (Ex-
ception: slicing very large pieces of foodstuffs).

 Clean all appliance parts not suitable for the
dishwasher with a lightly moistened cloth.
Wipe off the appliance housing 5, the cutting
blade covering 6, the support table with
guide slots 9and the food support plate 13
carefully. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents,
sponges with rough surfaces or hard brushes.
Cleaning brush:
ATTENTION! RISK OF PERSONAL INJU-
RY! Carry out all tasks using the cleaning brush
19 (see Fig. F) with great care. Should it slip
close to the cutting blade 12 , there is the risk
of receiving a severe personal injury.
 Use the bristles of the cleaning brush 19 to re-
move remnants such as crumbs from all difficult
to reach positions. The flattened end can be
excellently used to remove stubborn soiling.

Maintenance / Removing /
assembling the cutting blade
Important safety notices for
the removal and assembly of
the cutting blade!
