Do not operate a damaged unit. ● Repairs may be carried out only by an expert or by Graef af- ter-sales service. Incorrect re- pairs may cause considerable hazards for the user. In addition, any claim under guarantee is for- feited. ● Defective parts must be replaced by original spare parts only. Only these parts are guaranteed to meet the safety requirements.26 ● This unit can also be used by children from 8 years age as well as by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental abil- ity or with a lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are supervised or have been trained in using the unit and have under- stood the dangers which may result from it. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children, unless they are 8 years or older and are super- vised during the process. ● The unit and its connecting cable have to be clear of children who are younger than 8 years. ● Children should be supervised in order to make sure that they do not play with this unit. ● The unit is not intended to be used with an external timer or a separate remote control. ● Always disconnect the connect- ing cable by using plug; do not pull the connecting cable. ● Do not use the unit if the connect- ing cable or plug are damaged. ● Prevent that liquids get on the plug. ● If the connection cable is dam- aged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the after-sales ser- vice or a similarly qualified per- son in order to prevent danger. ● Do not open the housing under any circumstances. When touch- ing live connections and chang- ing the electrical and mechani- cal structure, there is danger of electric shock. ● Never touch live parts. They may cause an electric shock or even may lead to death. ● Before connecting the unit, com- pare the connecting data (volt- age and frequency) on the type plate with those of your energy network. These details must cor- respond so that no damage oc- curs to the unit. ● Check to be sure that the con- necting cable has been safe- ly laid.

REQUIREMENTS ON THE INSTALLA-

TION LOCATION For safe and faultless operation of the unit, the following requirements of the installation loca- tion have to be met: ● The unit has to be placed on a solid, flat, horizontal, and non-slipping surface with a sufficient weight-carrying capacity. ● Make sure that the unit cannot topple over. ● Choose the location in such a way that children cannot reach the connecting ca- ble of the unit. ● Do not place the unit on hot surfaces, such29

as hotplates, or near them. ● Never use the unit outdoors, and always keep it in a dry place. ● The unit is not designed for installation in a wall or a built-in cupboard. ● Do not set up the unit in a hot, wet or moist environment. ● The socket has to be easily accessible so that the power cable can be removed eas- ily in case of emergency. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION For safe and fault-free operation of the unit, the following requirements have to be met during the electrical connection: ● Before connecting the unit, compare the connecting data (voltage and frequency) on the type plate with those of your energy network. These details must correspond so that no damage occurs to the unit. In case of uncertainty, contact a qualified electri- cian. ● The socket has to be protected at least by a 10 amps circuit breaker. ● Make sure that the connecting cable is not damaged and not laid across hot surfaces or sharp edges. ● The connecting cable must not be stretched tightly. ● The electric safety of the unit is ensured only when it is connected to a socket with protective conductor installed correctly. Operation on a socket without protective conductor is forbidden. If in doubt, let the house installation be checked by a skilled electrician. The manufacturer does not as- sume responsibility for damage which has been caused by missing or interrupted pro- tective conductor.

CAUTION The very sharp blade can cut off body parts. Your fingers are especially at risk. For this rea- son never reach into the space between the stop plate and blade as long as the stop plate is not completely closed, i.e. set to below “0“. TRIGGER GUARD The unit has a trigger guard to prevent unau- thorised use. The trigger guard fitted below the slide is pressed backwards with the finger without pressing the safety switch button. The unit can only be switched on when the trigger guard is unlocked. SHORT-TIME SERVICE After a short-time operation of 10 minutes, let the motor cool down for an hour. SLICING MATERIAL The unit can be used to cut bread, ham, sau- sage, cheese, fruit, vegetables, et cetera. IMPORTANT! By no means cut hard matter, such as frozen food, bones, wood, sheet metal, or the like. COMMISSIONING ● Place the enclosed tray, a plate or similar under the unit. ● Select the requested cutting thickness. ● Place the slicing material on to the slide. ● Place the combi-attachment / food holder on the rear wall of the slide and place the combi-attachment against the slicing mate- rial. ● Either press the intermittent switch or turn the knob on the side of the slide to activate the continuous operation. IMPORTANT! The unit must not be used without the com- bi-attachment / food holder, unless the size and shape of the slicing material does not allow its use. As soon as the size and shape of the slicing material allow the use of the combi attachment / food holder, it must be used. ● Press the slicing material slightly against the30 stop plate with the combi-attachment and guide the slide evenly towards the blade. ● After completion of the cutting process, re- lease the intermittent switch or turn the knob on the side of the slide back to its original position in order to switch off the device. IMPORTANT! Soft slicing material (such as cheese or ham) can be cut best when chilled. Soft slic- ing material can be cut better when moved forward more slowly.

COMBI-ATTACHMENT AS MINISLICE

(M188EU/ M20 / M95 ONLY) ● Put the combi-attachment on the slide back wall. ● Turn the locking lever tightly. ● Put the slicing material, e.g. cucumber, car- rots, mushrooms, cocktail tomatoes into the filling shaft. ● ONLY WITH MASTER M95: If necessary, place the insert in the filling shaft. This slides down automatically. Do not press. ● Set the requested cutting thickness. ● Put a tablet, chopping board or plate un- der the blade. ● Either press the intermittent switch or turn the knob on the side of the slide to activate the continuous operation. ● Evenly move the slide towards the blade. ● Release the intermittent switch or turn the knob on the side of the slide back to its original position in order to switch off the device. ● After completion of the cutting process, loosen the locking of the combi-attach- ment. ● After use, clean the combi-attachment. IMPORTANT! Frequent cleaning in the dishwasher can lead to discolouration. Cleaning by hand under running water is recommended. 30° TILTING (ONLY M188 /M90/M95) The tilting function is particularly suitable for cutting bread, hard sausages and vegetables. The tilt function uses the natural gravity of the slicing material for feeding. In order to tilt the unit, proceed as follows: ● - Press the lock button. The unit is unlocked. ● Push the unit upwards so that it is tilted 30°. ● To fix the position, push the swivelling lever upwards. ● The unit is only secured when it audibly locks into place. ● Now you can continue as described un- der "Commissioning". ● After completion of the cutting process, press the swivelling lever down and swivel the unit back again. ● By pressing on the rear part of the profile, the locking bolt clicks into place. CLEANING Use a soft and moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the unit. Use a mild detergent in case of heavy contamination. SLIDE In order to clean the slide better, it can be re- moved from the unit. ● Press the slide latch upwards with your fin- ger. ● Keep the slide latch pressed and pull the slide towards yourself. ● Use a moist cloth or running water to clean all parts. Once a month, please add some drops of resin-free oil or petroleum jelly to the slide guide. Use a soft cotton wool cloth to remove excessive oil / excessive petroleum jelly.31

IMPORTANT! Do not clean the slide in a dishwasher! BLADE REMOVABLE From time to time, unscrew the blade and clean the unit on the inside. Especially, when “juicy” slicing material (vegetables, fruit, roasts, et cetera) have been cut. Treat the blade with the upmost of care. ● Remove the slide. ● Use the black handle grip to turn the blade cover plate upwards until it is vertical over the motor body. During this action in the ini- tial position, the snap point has to be over- come first of all. ● Now you can remove it from the blade by pressing lightly. ● Undo the blade by using a coin to turn the blade screw clockwise. CAUTION The blade edge is very sharp. Danger of injury! Handle the blade with care. ● Clean the inside of the blade and the black ring using a damp cloth. ● Grease the inside of the blade (blade gear) and the black ring with petroleum jel- ly. Neither use cooking oil nor magarine/ butter, these will resinify over time. ● Inserting the blade takes place in reverse order.

ENSURE VALUE PRESERVATION OF THE

BLADE For long-lasting sharpness and value retention of your Graef blade, werecommend to clean it in regular intervals, especially after cutting up salted meat and/or ham. These foodstuffs contain salts, when they stay on the surface of the blade for a longer period of time, may even form a rust film (even on “stainless” steel). When cutting up slicing material which con- tains a lot of water, such as tomatoes or cu- cumbers, lacking or wrong (too “wet”) clean- ing may also lead to a rust film on the blade surface. For this reason we recommend to use a moist cloth, and if necessary some wash- ing-up liquid, to clean the blade directly after use. From time to time, unscrew the blade and clean the unit on the inside, especially, when “juicy” slicing material (vegetables, fruit, roasts, et cetera) have been cut. Treat the blade with the upmost of care. 10-YEAR GUARANTEE For this product we assume an additional guarantee on the motor of 120 months begin- ning with the date of sale. Your legal warranty claim in conformity with Section 439 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB) shall remain unaffected by this regulation. The guarantee does not cover any damage which is caused by incorrect handling or use as well as defects which only slightly influence the function or the value of the unit. Moreover, transport dam- age provided we are not responsible shall be excluded from the claims under guarantee. Guarantee shall be ruled out for damage, the repair of which has not been carried out by us or one of our represenations. In case of justi- fied complaints, we shall repair the defective product or replace it by a product without de- fects at our discretion.32
