Operation
5. The cutting blade 12 continues to rotate for a
short while after the slicer has been switched off.
6. For reasons of safety, the slice thickness must
be returned to the „0“ setting after use.
Soft foodstuffs:
Direct the food carriage 10 slowly against the
cutter 12 . Soft foodstuffs, for example hams or
cheeses, are best cut when they are at a low
temperature / lightly chilled.
Hard foodstuffs:
With hard foodstuffs you can direct the food car-
riage
10 somewhat faster against the cutter 12 .
You can thus quickly prepare your required
amount of of sliced foods, for example salami,
bread or gherkins.
Selecting mode of operation
Note:
The two operating modes can be switched on
and off with the rocker switch for intermittent /
continuous operation
3 .
Continuous operation / max. 10 minutes
(switch in position „I“):
Set the switch for intermittent / continuous oper-
ation
3 to position „I“. The cutting blade 12
runs without it being necessary to hold the switch
in this position.
Halting continuous operation: Move the switch
for intermittent / continuous operation
3 into
the „0“ position and wait until the cutting blade
comes to a complete standstill.
Intermittent operation (switch for
intermittent / continuous operation
in position „II“):
Set the switch for intermittent / continuous
operation
3 to position „II“.The cutting blade
will continue to run for as long as the switch
for intermittent / continuous operation is
held in this position. Halting intermittent opera-
tion: Release the switch for intermittent / contin-
uous operation
3 and wait until the cutting
blade comes to a complete standstill.
Setting the Vario-switch
cutting blade speed
Low revolutions / Revolution symbol
narrow end:
Set a low revolution speed when you want to
cut soft foodstuffs.Push the Vario-switch
2
completely in the direction of the sharp end.
High revolutions / Revolution symbol
wide end:
Use a high revolution speed for slicing hard
foodstuffs. Push the Vario-switch
2 completely
in the direction of the broad end.
Note: Between the maximum and minimum
adjustments you can naturally also carry out
further individual settings. Practice appropriate
trial slicings.
Slice thickness - setting
and cutting
Set the required slice thickness using the control
knob
14 (see Figure C). The settings on the scale
do not correspond with the slice thickness in mm.
For safety reasons the cuttingblade
12 is covered
in setting „0“.
Place the food to be sliced on the food
carriage
10 .
If necessary, press the food to be sliced with
the food holder plate
11 lightly against the
food support 13 .
Switch the appliance on and, whilst lightly
pressing the food to be sliced forward, guide
it along the cutting blade
12 . After using the
slicer always set the food support plate 13 into
the „0“ setting so that the sharp blade is covered.
The cutting blade
12 is ideally suitable for cut-
ting wafer-thin slices of cold cuts or boiled ham
(see Fig. A).
To safeguard your fingers always use the food
carriage
10 and the food holder plate 11 (Ex-
ception: slicing very large pieces of foodstuffs).
