SLICING
1.
Select the required thickness by turning the thickness control knob. The
thickness guide on top of the slicer gives suggestions for bread, cheese and cold
meats. The slicer can be adjusted from 1mm up to 15mm.
2.
Slide the food tray along to the left. Place your food onto the tray and press it
against the guide plate with the food pusher.
3.
Plug in the slicer. Switch on the slicer by pressing the on/off switch with your left
thumb. The button must be continuously held down as you slice.
4.
With your right hand, press the pusher into the food and slide the food tray back
and forth, to slice. Always keep your hand well away from the blade, and apply
even pressure, without pressing too hard.
5.
From time to time you may need to clear food from the blade. Always switch off
and unplug the slicer first.
6.
To stop slicing, release the on/off button. Unplug and turn the thickness knob to
its minimum setting, to conceal the blade edge.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
Large joints of meat may need to be cut in half before slicing, to fit on the food
tray.
•
Before slicing cheese, unplug the slicer and carefully wipe the blade with a damp
cloth. This will help prevent the cheese from sticking to the metal.
•
Please do not use the slicer for frozen food, stale bread, meat with bones, or fruit
with stones.
•
Always remove foil, clingfilm and any wrappings from food before slicing.
•
After 10 minutes’ slicing, let the motor rest for 30 minutes.
13.
The slicer MUST NOT BE USED BY CHILDREN. It is not intended for use by infirm
people unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to
ensure they can use it safely. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not
play with the slicer. It must not be left unattended during use.
14.
Do not use the slicer if the power cord or plug show any signs of damage, or if
the appliance is dropped, damaged or working incorrectly. Call the helpline on
015394 88100 to arrange a repair by an authorised repairer, or a replacement.
Never try to repair the slicer yourself as this may cause electric shock.
BEFORE USING YOUR SLICER FOR THE FIRST TIME
Carefully unpack the slicer, remove any packaging and clean all the parts. See CARE
AND CLEANING.
ASSEMBLING THE SLICER
1.
First, make sure the slicer is unplugged. Place it on a level, firm and dry surface.
The slicer has rubber feet to help keep it steady on your worktop. Position the
slicer so that your left thumb can operate the on/off switch.
2.
Turn the thickness control knob to its minimum setting by turning clockwise. This
will ensure the blade edge is concealed.
3.
Place the sliding food tray onto the platform. Line up its front edge with the
PUT ON arrow on the platform. Push down firmly to lock the tray into place. Slide
the tray back and forth a few times to check that it moves freely.
4.
Slide the food pusher onto the food tray, so that its plastic spikes face the blade.
5.
Place the food plate in the recess at the front of the slicer, to catch sliced food.
