[. . . ] For safety reasons, always bring the stop plate back to its rest (zero) position after use, so that it is flush with the blade. We strongly recommend that the appliance is only used with the sliding tray and end-piece holder properly installed and in position. Exceptions may be made only if required by the size or shape of the food to be sliced. Always remove the plug from the wall socket - after use, - in case of any malfunction, - during cleaning of the appliance. [. . . ] The tray will now be securely fitted in the base plate track. Setting thickness The thickness of the slices is infinitely adjustable by means of the selection knob. Always bring the stop plate back to its rest (zero) position after use. Safety switch To activate the motor, first press the release button, then the push switch, which will lock in the operating position. As soon as the 5 switch is pressed again, the motor will automatically stop. Slicing Following the above safety instructions, the slicer can now be operated. - Adjust the desired thickness of the slices. - Position the collection tray underneath the unit. - Use the right hand to place the food to be sliced on to the sliding tray and to press it against the stop plate. - Fit the end piece holder, with the studded side facing the blade, on to the tray. - Use the left hand to press the release button and, almost simultaneously, the push switch, and then move the sliding tray against the rotating blade. At the same time, press the end piece holder containing the food lightly against the blade. - The end piece holder ensures the food will be held safely while slicing takes place. - The cut slices are collected in the tray underneath the unit. For safety reasons, always bring the stop plate back to its rest (zero) position after use so that it is flush with the blade. Practical hints - When cutting a loaf of bread where the crust is thicker or harder on the top, it should be placed against the blade in such a way that the firm part of the crust faces the cutting edge. - When cutting cheese, or when cutting very thin slices of other foods, use a slightly moist cloth to wipe the blade first. This will make the slicing process easier. - When cutting ham, ensure that the fatty side is facing upwards. General cleaning and care General Always remove the plug from the wall socket before detaching any accessories, and before cleaning the appliance. After switching off, always wait until the blade has come to a complete standstill. Bring the stop plate back to its rest (zero) position, so that the blade does not protrude. [. . . ] Once the plate is brought into a vertical position, the studs can be pulled out of their guide slots and the plate can be taken off sideways. The plate may be cleaned with hot water and a mild detergent. When refitting the plate, follow the same steps in reverse order. 6 Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points.
