The unit is not intended to be used with an external timer or a separate remove control. This unit is intended for use in households and15 p. 2114

similar use, such as: Staff kitchens in shops and ofce; in agricultural estates; by guests in hotels, motels and other living quarters; in bed and breadfast boarding houses. Always disconnect the connection cable by using plug; do not pull the connecting cable. Before connecting the unit compare the connection data (voltage and frequency) on the typeplate and your mains. These data have to be in conformity so that no damage can occur. Do not use the unit when the connection cable or the plug is damaged. Before reusing, have the unit tted with a new connection cable by the Graef after- sales service or an authorised specialist. By no means open the housing of the unit. An electric shock may be caused by touching life connection and electrical mechanical structures. Never touch live parts. They can cause an electric shock or may result in death. Never carry the unit by its power cable. Never transport the unit during operation. Never operate the unit with wet hands. In idle state, turn the adjustment know clockwise to zero setting so that the stop plate covers the knife blade. Packaging materials must not be used for playing. There is a danger of suffocation. Do not touch the blade of the knife with your ngers. This is very sharp and may cause serious injury. Make sure that the unit has been switched off before cleaning or non-use and is not connected up to the mains. Check whether the stop has been closed (blade covered). Do not use any aggressive or scouring detergent and no solvents. Do not scape off any persistent dirt with a hard object. Do not rinse the unit in water or immerge in16 water. The unit must not be used without the food holder for remainders unless the size and shape of the food permits use without. Unpacking Proceed as follows to unpack the unit: Remove the unit from the box. Remove the packaging parts. Remove any stickers on the unit (do not remove the typeplate). Requirements on the installation location For safe and faultfree operation of the unit, the following requirements of the installation location have to be met: The unit has to be placed on a solid, at, horizontal and non-slipping surface mit a sufcient weight-carrying capacity. Choose the location in such a way that children cannot reach the sharp blade of the unit. Safety hazards The very sharp blade can cut off parts of the body. Your ngers are especially endangered. For this reason, do not reach into the space between the stop plate and the blade as long as the stop plate is not closed completely, i.e. set to “0”. Securing the machine The machines have a safetey catch to protect them against unauthorized use. The catch pre- vents the machines from being switched on. It is located under the carriage. Exerting no pres- sure on the safety button slide the switch in the direction of the setting button. the machi- ne can only be switched on when the catch has been released. Cutting material The unit can be used to cut bread, ham, sausage, cheese, fruit, vegetables, et cetera. By no means cut hard objects, such as frozen food, bones, wood, sheet metal or similar.17

Cutting with the quick-action switch Place the items to be sliced on the carriage. Set the desired slicing thickness. Press the items to be sliced slightly against the stop plate and uniformly guide the car- riage against the blade. Use your thumb to press the quick-action switch - that switches on the motor. Press your thumb against the quick-action switch while slicing. As soon as you remove your thumb from the quick-action switch the motor switches off. Note: Soft food (such as cheese or ham) can be sliced best when cooled. Soft food can be cut better when pushed slowly. When slicing cucumbers or carrots, it is advantagous if they are cut to equal lengths rst which are then fed using the holder for remainders. Cutting with the continuous operation switch Use the continuous operation switch to slice large quantities. Place the items to be sliced on the carriage. Set the desired slicing thickness. Press the items to be sliced slightly against the stop plate and uniformly guide the car- riage against the blade. Turn the continuous operation switch clock- wise up the limit stop (1/4 turn). Turn the continuous operation switch back to turn off the unit. Let the motor cool off after using continu- ously for approx. 9.5 minutes. Holder for remainders The unit must not be used without the food holder for remainders unless the size and shape of the food permits use without. As soon as the size or shape of the food permits the use of the holder for remainers, this has to be used. Place the remainders or smaller food on the slide. Place the holder for remainders at the rear18 wall of the slide and move the holder for remainders up to the food to be cut. Proceed as described above in chapter “Cutting”. The holder for remainders permit slicing of smaller food, such as mushrooms or tomatoes. Tilting by 30 deg. The tilting function is especially useful for cutting bread, hard-cured sausage and vegetables. By means of the tilting function, the natural gravity force of the product to be cut is used for feeding. Proceed as follows to tilt the unit: Press the lock knob. The unit is unlocked. Use the swivelling lever to pull the unit up forcefully until it locks in audibly. When the unit has been locked in audibly, it is secured. Now continue as described in the chapter titled “Cutting operation”. After nishing the cutting process, swivel the unit back. Turn the swivelling lever down. Press the rear part of the prole to lock the locking bolt. Cleaning Use a soft and moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the unit. Use a mild detergent in case of heavy soiling. Preservation of value - blade For a long-lasting sharpness and for a preservation of the value of your Graef blade we recommend that the blade be cleaned in regular intervals, especially after cutting cured meat or ham. They contain salts which when on the blade surface for a longer period of time could produce so-called “rust lm” ( on “stainless steel” as well). When cutting products which contain a lot of water, such as tomatoes or cucumbers, a lack or wrong (too “wet”) cleaning may produce rust on the blade surface. For this reason we recommend that you use a19

moist cloth and a bit of detergent, if and when necessary, to clean the blade directly after use. Never put the blade in a dishwasher, rstly due to decrease in sharpness and corrosion resistance (salts attack the blade), and secondly due to safety in handling the blade whilst loading and unloading the dishwasher. Removing the blade Unscrew the blade from time to time and clean the unit on the inside. Do this, especially “juicy” cutting material (tomatoes, fruit, roasts, et cetera) are cut. Handle the blade with great care. Remove the slide. Use the black handle grip to turn the blade cover plate in the direciton of the arrow upwards until it is vertical over the motor body. During this action in the initial position, the snap point has to be overcome rst of all. Applying slight pressure, the blade can be removed. Undo the blade by using a coin to turn the blade screw clockwise. Use a moist cloth to clean the inside of the blade and the black ring. Place the blade in reverse order. Slide In order to clean the slide better, remove it from the unit. Press the carriage lock on the bottom right side of the carriage upwards and keep pressed while pulling the carriage towards you. Use a moist cloth or running water to clean all parts. Important: Do not clean the slide in a dishwasher! Once a month, add some drops of resin-free oil or petroleum jelly to the slideway. Use a soft cottonwool cloth to remove excessive oil / petroleum jelly.
