HELPFUL TIPS FOR BEST CUTTING RESULTS:
- To prevent the food slices from sticking to the knife when slicing, moisten the knife with a
damp, clean cloth beforehand. This will make slicing quicker.
- When slicing ham, place the side with the fat facing up.
- To cut meat or fish very finely, place the piece to be cut in the freezer for a short time so
that it solidifies. The time depends on the size of the piece, but it should not be frozen
through (max. 20-30 minutes).
- Cutting warm meat (beef, pork, lamb, ham, etc.):
If you want to cut a warm roast (boneless!), take it out of the oven at least 15-20 minutes
before cutting. This will keep the meat juicier and you can cut it without it crumbling.
- Cheese should be chilled well in the refrigerator before slicing.
- Sausages will last longer if they are cut before consumption. Remove the sausage skin
before slicing. When slicing, apply light but consistent pressure to ensure even slices.
- This all-purpose slicer is ideal for slicing vegetables (e.g. potatoes, carrots, tomatoes,
cabbage, pumpkin, zucchini, eggplant, ...) or (pitted) fruit (e.g. peeled pineapple) .
- Bread, white bread or cake can also be sliced, but allow them to cool before slicing.
To ensure long, trouble-free use of your device, it is necessary to carefully clean the individual
parts of the device before first use and after each use.
- Switch off the device and unplug it from the power outlet.
- Make sure that the blade has stopped rotating.
- Set the cutting thickness control to position "0".
- Clean the device with a damp (not wet!) cloth. Cleaning in the dishwasher is not permitted.
- Clean the leftover holder in warm water. If necessary, a mild detergent can be used. The
leftover holder can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
- Wipe the knife with a slightly damp cloth.
- Removing and cleaning the blade:
WARNING!
Be careful when handling the knives! The knife is very sharp – risk of injury!
From time to time, residues behind the blade should also be removed. To do this, remove
the blade as follows and wipe everything with a slightly damp cloth:
 Lift the middle part of the fixing screw
and turn it clockwise (arrow direction)
as shown.
 Remove the knife carefully, using safety
gloves if necessary.
 Clean the knife with a soft cloth or
kitchen sponge. If necessary, a mild
detergent can be used.
 After cleaning, put the blade back on and
fasten it again with the blade fixing screw – turn against the direction of the arrow.
- Do not use aggressive cleaning or abrasive agents for cleaning and avoid very hot water.
