Frequently Asked Questions - Classic C 22 Twin GRAEF

How to start instant cutting?

Place the food on the carriage, adjust the thickness, then press the instant operation button with your thumb to start the motor. Release to stop.

How to use continuous cutting?

Turn the continuous operation knob clockwise to the stop (1/4 turn). To stop, return it to the initial position. After about 9.5 minutes of continuous use, let the motor cool down.

How to adjust the cutting thickness?

Use the thickness adjustment wheel on the appliance. Turn it to get the desired thickness.

How to tilt the appliance 30°?

Press the locking button, then raise the appliance via the pivot lever until you hear a 'click'. Make sure it is locked before slicing.

How to clean the blade?

Clean the blade with a damp cloth and a little cleaning product. Never wash it in the dishwasher, as this would reduce sharpness and corrosion resistance.

How to disassemble the blade?

Remove the carriage, then unscrew the blade screw clockwise using a coin. Clean the inside of the blade and the black ring with a damp cloth. Reassemble in reverse order.

What to do if the appliance does not start?

Check that the safety lock is released: push the device under the carriage towards the adjustment button without pressing the safety switch. If the problem persists, contact Graef after-sales service.

Can the parts be washed in the dishwasher?

No, do not wash any parts in the dishwasher. Clean the carriage and other removable parts by hand with a damp cloth or under running water. The blade and carriage are not dishwasher safe.

How to use the food pusher?

Place the leftovers or small foods on the carriage. Put the food pusher against the food and proceed as for normal cutting. It allows safe slicing of foods like mushrooms or tomatoes.

What is the motor warranty?

Graef offers a 60-month (5-year) warranty on the motor from the date of purchase. Damage due to improper use or unauthorized repairs is excluded from the warranty.

• 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 fitted with a new connection cable by the Graef after-sales service or an authorised specialist.

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, flat, horizontal and non-slipping surface mit a sufficient 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 fingers 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 machine has a safetey catch to protect it against unauthorized use. The catch prevents the machine from being switched on. It is located under the carriage. Exerting no pressure on the safety button slide the switch in the direction of the setting button. The machine 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.

Cutting with the quick-action switch

• Place a tray, a plate or something similar below the unit.
• Choose the requested slicing thickness.
• Press the material gently to the stop plate and the slide to the blade evenly.
• 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 advantageous if they are cut to equal lengths first which are then fed using the holder for remainders.

Cutting with the continuous operation switch

- Place a tray, a plate or something similar below the unit.

• Choose the requested slicing thickness.
• Press the material gently to the stop plate and the slide to the blade evenly.
• Turn the continuous operation switch clockwise 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 continuously 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 rear 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 finishing the cutting process, swivel the unit back.
• Turn the swivelling lever down.

Press the rear part of the profile 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 film” (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 a 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, firstly

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.
• 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.

After-sales service

If you Graef unit should be damaged, please get in touch with your specialist dealer or with a Graef after-sales service.
