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 fi rm 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 fi rst.
This will make the slicing process easier.
∙ When cutting ham, ensure that the fatty
side is facing upwards.
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.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do not
immerse it in water.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions for cleaning. If necessary, the
housing may be wiped with a slightly
damp, lint-free cloth. The 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 and cleaning the blade
∙ The blade is extremely sharp - there is
a risk of serious injury if proper care is
not taken.
The stainless-steel blade can be cleaned
with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.

The 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.
After cleaning, re-attach the blade following
the same steps in reverse order.
Detaching the stop plate
For thorough cleaning, the stop plate can
be removed. Turn the selection knob anti-
clockwise until the stop plate can be pulled
out sideways. When refi tting the stop plate,
follow the same steps in reverse order.
Detaching the base plate
The base plate can be removed for cleaning
To facilitate correct fi tting, the base plate has
guide studs on both sides. 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 refi tting the plate, follow
the same steps in reverse order.
