IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This appliance is not suitable for a prolonged use. This food slicer is suitable for a use of maximum 10 minutes. Never exceed this period of time. Failure to follow this instruction carefully may result in damage to the motor. Please insert breaks of at least 10 minutes.

USING THE SLICER

- Clean all exterior parts of the appliance before the first use.

• Make sure the appliance is on a steady surface.

- Put the platform (6) on top of the table (10) (if not installed beforehand). Turn the platform locking disc (7) so that the straight side runs parallel to the table (see picture 1). Now let the platform slide from the front of the table to the back. The platform should be secured in the table groove. Now turn the platform locking disc as you wish (see picture 2), but do not bring it back to the previous position: the straight side parallel to the table. If you pull back the platform, you will not be able to take it out because of the stop.

• To take the platform out in order to clean it, proceed inversely.

- Put the remain holder (5) on the handle of the platform.

- Select the slicing thickness by turning the adjusting knob (1). You can control millimetres on the side of the appliance.

- By using the speed regulator (4), you can adjust the turning speed of the blade continuously.

- Plug in the appliance. The slicer is now ready for use.

- Lay the food to be sliced between the moving part (11) and the remain holder.

- First press the safety switch (13), then the on/off switch (3). The blade (8) will start rotating. You can release the safety switch, but you must keep the on/ off switch pressed for as long as you want to slice. If you release the on/off switch, the blade will stop rotating.

- Please note that for safety reasons the appliance will only operate if the safety switch (13) is switched on (child safety).

- Push the platform with the other hand to bring the food to the blade. As a safety measure, the platform cannot be moved easily. This means that the pressure has to be sufficiently strong in order to obtain regular slices.

- To avoid food sticking to the appliance, you can moisten the round blade with a wet towel beforehand. This also allows you to slice more easily.

- Caution: Always use the remain holder (5) when slicing small parts and leftovers.

- Do not slice meat with bones, food with large seeds, rolled roast without removing the string, wrappers (i.e. aluminium foil), frozen food or any hard, inedible food parts.
