Operating instructions | Food slicer

FIRST TIME Preparation Remove the appliance carefully from the packaging. Remove all packaging components and keep them in a safe place along with the packaging itself. Clean the appliance before allowing it to come into contact with any food (see CLEANING). Setting up the appliance

• Set the appliance down on a at, nonskid surface close to a mains socket. Slide the left-over holder (2) onto the slice carriage's handle. Unwind the power cord (9) to the length required from the cable compartment (8) under the appli- ance and insert the power plug into the socket. SLICING Use the slice thickness adjust- ment knob (4) to set the required thickness. Note: The slice thickness adjustment scale is not a millimetre scale. For safety reasons, the "0" posi- tion is designed to cover the blade. Place the food to be sliced onto the slice carriage (10). Use the left-over holder (2) to lightly press the food up against the stop plate (1). Protect your hands by always using the slice carriage and, where applicable, the left-over holder. Exception: Excessively large foods to be sliced.

• Switch the appliance on using the power switch (5). Two operat- ing modes are available: Intermittent operation (Position II): The rotary blade (12) runs as long as the switch is pressed and held down in this position. Continuous operation (Position I): The rotary blade runs without the switch being pressed and held down until you move the switch to the "0" position. Note: Never use the appliance for more than a maximum of 5 minutes in continuous operation.

• With the appliance running, gently feed the food to be sliced into the path of the rotary blade.

• When nished slicing, wait until the rotary blade has come to a complete stop.

• After each use, turn the slice thickness adjustment knob to the "0" position to cover up the sharp rotary blade and to avoid any injuries. CLEANING Caution: Switch the appliance o󰀨 before cleaning it; pull the power plug out o󰀨 the socket and turn the slice thickness adjustment knob (4) to the "0" position. Clean the food slicer regularly to prevent the accumulation of food residue. The rotary blade must also be cleaned regularly as described below to prevent its surface from rusting. Note: Over time, an accumulation of food residue may damage the surface of the rotary blade, caus- ing it to rust. Preparation

• Remove the slice tray (6) and the left-over holder (2). Slide the release device (3) to the right-hand stop. Pull the slice carriage (10) away from the appliance. Removing the rotary blade: Remove the blade cover. Open the blade catch (11) by turning it in a clockwise direction.

• Remove the blade catch.

• Carefully remove the rotary blade. Cleaning after each use

• Wipe down the housing and all removed parts, including the rotary blade, with a damp cloth. English10 Occasional cleaning

• Give all removed parts, includ- ing the rotary blade, a thorough wash in warm soapy water (not in the dishwasher!).

• Clean the housing behind the blade using a dry cloth/brush. Note: Do not use any abrasive clean- ers, sponges with rough surfaces or hard brushes to clean the appliance.

• Dry all parts that you have washed.

• Grease the rotary blade's gear wheel with a little ritter mainte- nance grease (or alternatively with a little Vaseline). Assembling the appliance

• Carefully insert the rotary blade.

• Insert the blade catch.

• Close the blade catch by turning it in an anticlockwise direction.

• Mount the blade cover. Slide the slice carriage into the guide grooves on the appliance. Slide the release device to the left-hand stop. MAINTENANCE Your food slicer is maintenance- free. However, we recommend that you occasionally apply a little extra ritter maintenance grease or Vaseline to the rails of the slice carriage to keep them lubricated and ensure that the carriage continues to move easily.
