For this purpose, exclusively use Graef petroleum jelly which is matched to our units. You can obtain them in our online shop at www.graef.de under item No. 141852. Regularly grease the unit:

• In case of frequent use, every two to three days.

• When the unit runs for 10 minutes every day, every fortnight. When greasing the blade, proceed with utmost care as follows:

• Grease the gearwheel with petroleum jelly.

• Grease the blade bolt with petroleum jelly.

• Also grease the blade screw with petroleum jelly.

• Grease the slide ring using petroleum jelly.

• Place the blade back in again. Screwing on the blade cover plate

• Place the blade cover plate back in again by means of the blade remov- al device.

• To fasten, turn the blade cover plate anti-clockwise. CAUTION! Before starting the machine again, ensure that the blade cover plate has been screwed on correctly. Switch on the machine only when the blade cover plate has been mounted. Without the blade cover plate the blade has not been fastened. The blade can come loose and damage the device as well as cause severe injuries. Ensure value preservation of the blade For long-lasting sharpness and value retention of your Graef blade, werec- ommend to clean it in regular intervals, especially after cutting up salted meat43

UKR RUS 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 “stain- less” steel). When cutting up slicing material which contains a lot of water, such as tomatoes or cucumbers, lacking or wrong (too “wet”) cleaning 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 washing-up liquid, to clean the blade directly after use. Remove the blade from time to time and clean the unit inside. especially, when “juicy” slicing material (vegetables, fruit, roasts, et cetera) have been cut. Treat the blade with the upmost of care. Sharpen blade As soon as you notice the blade becoming blunt, you can re-sharpen it us- ing the enclosed Blade sharpener. The diamond-coated grinding disc quickly restores the original sharpness of your food slicer guaranteeing you the best cutting results.

• Put the blade sharpener onto the slide.

• Open the limit stop to 15 mm slicing thickness.

• Slide the Blade sharpener against the limit stop.

• Move the slide with the sharpener to the blade.

• Turn on the machine and let it run for about 10 seconds.

• Then press the lever with your index finger so that the scraper element lies on the blade edge (let it run for about 2 seconds).

• Pull back the carriage, turn off the machine.

• The scraper element sets the burr created during the sharpening upright again. This guarantees an extremely sharp blade edge.

• Repeat the process if the cutting result does not meet your expectations.
