crust is thicker or harder on the top, it
should be placed against the blade in such
a way that the fi rm part of the crust faces

thin slices of other foods, use a slightly

General cleaning and care
General
Always remove the plug from the wall
z
socket before detaching any accessories,
and before cleaning the appliance.
Aft er switching off , always wait until the
z
blade has come to a complete standstill.
Bring the stop plate back to its rest (zero)
position, so that the blade does not
protrude.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
z
clean the appliance with water and do not
immerse it in water.
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
z
solutions for cleaning. If necessary, the
housing may be wiped with a slightly
damp, lint-free cloth. Th
e end-piece
holder and the sliding tray can be cleaned
using hot water and a mild detergent (do
not put them in a dish-washer).
Detaching the slicer assembly
Th
e slicer assembly (consisting of the stop
plate and blade) can be detached to facilitate
cleaning. Bring the stop plate into its rest
position and take off the end-piece holder and
sliding tray. Release the slide lock and fold
the slicer assembly with blade and stop plate
down onto the base plate. Take the power
cord out of its wind-up storage. Position the
appliance vertically, push the locking button
(see diagram), and slide the base plate fi rst
slightly to the left , and then to the rear. Aft er
cleaning, follow the same steps in reverse to
re-assemble the appliance.
Detaching and cleaning the blade
Th e blade is extremely sharp - there is
z
a risk of serious injury if proper care is
not taken.
Th e stainless-steel blade can be cleaned with
a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Th
e area behind the blade should also be
cleaned occasionally. To remove the blade,
loosen the central fi xing screw by turning it
90° in a clockwise direction and take out the
blade.
Aft er cleaning, re-attach the blade following
the same steps in reverse order.
Space-saving storage
Aft er cleaning, the unit can be folded up for
space-saving storage. Bring the stop plate
into its rest position and take off the end-
piece holder and sliding tray. Release the slide
lock and fold the slicer assembly down onto
the base plate. Turn the unit upside down and
place the sliding tray and end-piece holder
into their respective storage compartments.
Ensure that the fi nger guard of the sliding
tray fi ts underneath the locking catch. Wind
the power cord around the storage lugs.
