Frequently Asked Questions - Manuale H9 GRAEF

How do I adjust the slice thickness on the Graef Manuale H9?

Turn the handwheel at the back of the slicer to adjust the slice thickness from 0 to 20 mm. The scale indicates the thickness setting.

How should I clean the Graef Manuale H9 slicer?

Remove the blade by unscrewing the center nut. Wash the blade and pusher with warm water and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Never immerse the unit in water.

Is the blade sharp and how do I sharpen it?

The blade is factory-sharpened. For resharpening, use a Graef sharpening stone or replace the blade. Avoid using electric sharpeners.

Can I slice frozen food with the Manuale H9?

It is not recommended to slice frozen food as it may damage the blade or cause uneven slices. Thaw food slightly before slicing.

What safety precautions should I take when using this slicer?

Always use the pusher to guide food. Keep hands away from the blade. Only operate on a stable surface. Disassemble for cleaning only when the blade has stopped.

How do I replace the blade?

Loosen the center nut counterclockwise, remove the old blade, and place the new blade with the cutting edge facing inward. Tighten the nut securely.

The slicer is not cutting evenly. What could be wrong?

Check if the blade is properly aligned or needs sharpening. Also ensure the food is pressed evenly against the meat gauge. Adjust the thickness setting if needed.

Can I slice cheese with the Manuale H9?
