3. ADJUSTMENT
• Before using the appliance for the first
time, you should clean its different parts.
See the "Cleaning" section.
• Place the appliance on a stable, even,
dry surface.
• Remove the slice tray fixed to the inside
of the base and unwind the cable (fig. 2).
• Pull out the platform and place the slice
tray at the back of it, under the circular
blade (fig. 3).
• Fix the platform to the food tray,
inserting the food tray stud in the
platform groove (fig. 4). Pull the thumb
guard out from the food tray and check
it slides correctly along the platform.
• Pull out the food support and place it on
the food tray (fig. 5).
• Select the desired slice thickness
with the thickness selector, turning it
clockwise for thicker slices and anti-
clockwise for thinner slices (fig. 6).
4. OPERATION
Important: Always use the food tray and
the food support.
• Plug the appliance in.
• Slide the food tray towards you and
place the food on it so that it is touching
the adjustable thickness guide.
• Place the food support behind the food
and push the food evenly against the
thickness guide with one hand, keeping
your thumb behind the guard. Press the
I/0 switch and the safety switch (fig. 7)
with your other hand. The motor will only
start up if both the switches are pressed.
• Slide the food tray towards the blade,
then slide it back towards you. Continue
sliding it carefully back and forth,
keeping the food firmly pressed against
the thickness guide to obtain regular-
sized slices.
• When you have finished slicing, unplug
the appliance. For your safety and for
blade protection, turn the thickness
indicator to zero to align the guide with
the blade.

Dismantling the food slicer
Food tra: Slide the food support to its
limit away from the blade, and then pull it
upwards (fig. 8).
Circular blade: Ensure the appliance is
unplugged from the mains. Turn the central
blade screw anti-clockwise and carefully
remove it. To assemble the blade again,
align the nut studs with the housing grooves
and turn it clockwise (fig. 9).
Motor: Ensure the appliance is unplugged
from the mains. Press the button to release
the motor and take it out of its housing. To
assemble it again, first fit the top part of the
motor into its housing and then the bottom
part (fig. 10).
Note: the circular blade must first be
removed in order for the motor to be moved
in or out of its housing.
Thickness guide: With the blade removed,
turn the thickness selector anti-clockwise
until the guide comes out of its housing (fig.
11). To replace it again, fit the guide into its
grooves and gently press it while turning the
thickness selector clockwise (fig. 12).
Platform: Fold up the platform. Pull it
upwards, firstly by one of its sides, then
by the other. To put it back in place again,
insert the studs on one side first, and then
those on the other side (fig. 13).
