INTENDED USE

The food slicer is used to slice household foods.

The food slicer is suitable for contact with foodstuffs.

If the appliance is used for a purpose other than this, or if it is operated incorrectly, severe injuries may occur or the appliance may be damaged. All warranty and liability claims will be rendered null and void in this case.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Preparation

Remove the appliance carefully from the packaging. Remove all packaging parts and keep these together with the packaging in a safe place. 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 flat, non-skid surface close to a mains socket.

A On the positioning plate (6) remove the left-over holder (8), the finger protection (7a) and the slide unit (7b) one after the other by pulling them out and up.

B Mounting the slice carriage (7): Insert the finger protection into the slot in the base of the carriage and fasten it in place by sliding it in the direction of the arrow.

C Unwind the power cord (11) to the length required from the cable compartment (4) under the appliance. In doing so, fasten the power cord in the slot provided for it on the base of the appliance.

D Swivel the positioning plate fully downwards into the working position.

E Place the slice carriage's guide runner onto the positioning plate's lateral guide groove at an incline. Swivel the slice carriage downwards in the direction of the positioning plate. The slice carriage's guide runner must be fully mounted onto the positioning plate's guide groove.

F Slide the left-over holder (8) onto the finger protection (7a). Plug the cable into the socket.

SLICING

G Use the slice thickness adjustment knob (2) to set the required thickness.

H Place the food to be sliced onto the slice carriage (7). Use the left-over holder (8) to press it up against the stop plate (3).

Protect your hands, by always using the slice carriage and, where applicable, the left-over holder. Exception: Excessively large foods to be sliced.

K Turn the appliance on using the power switch (1). Two operating modes are available:

Temporary operation: Press the power switch and slide it towards the arrow until you feel some resistance. The rotary blade (10) runs as long as the power switch is pressed and held down in this position.

Continuous operation: Press the power switch and slide it towards the arrow beyond the resistance point until it latches into place. The rotary blade runs without the power switch having to be pressed and held down, until you push the power switch back into the "0" position.

Note:

Never use the appliance for more than a maximum of 5 minutes in continuous operation.

L For markant ^05 / orbis ^5 model :

Adapt the slicing speed using the electronic rpm adjustment (12) to suit the food to be sliced. When slicing soft food, set a low slicing speed. Set a higher speed for hard food.

• With the appliance running, gently feed the food to be sliced into the path of the rotary blade.
• When finished 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, in order to cover up the sharp rotating blade and to avoid any injuries.

CLEANING

Caution:

Switch the appliance off before cleaning it; pull the power plug out of the socket and turn the slice thickness adjustment knob (2) 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 cause damage to the surface of the rotary blade, causing it to rust.

Preparation

- Remove the left-over holder (8) and the slice carriage (7).

Removing the rotary blade:

M Open the blade catch (9), by turning it in a clockwise direction.

N Take hold of the rotary blade at its rotational centre and remove it.

Cleaning after each use

- Wipe down the housing and all removed parts, including the rotary blade, with a damp cloth.

Occasional cleaning

• Give all removed parts, including 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 cleansers, sponges with rough surfaces or hard brushes.

• Dry all parts that you have washed.
• Grease the rotary blade's gear wheel with a little ritter maintenance grease (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 slice carriage (7).

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.

STORAGE

Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

To store the cable, always use the cable compartment integrated into the appliance.
