a longer period of time could produce so-
called “rust film” ( on “stainless steel” as well).
When cutting products which contain a lot of
water, such as tomatoes or cucumbers, a lack
or wrong (too “wet”) cleaning may produce
rust on the blade surface. For this reason we
recommend that you use a moist cloth and
a bit of detergent, if and when necessary,
to clean the blade directly after use. Never
put the blade in a dishwasher, firstly due
to decrease in sharpness and corrosion
resistance (salts attack the blade), and
secondly due to safety in handling the blade
whilst loading and unloading the dishwasher.
Removing the blade
Remove the power plug before removing the
blade.
Unscrew the blade in regular intervals and
clean the unit on the inside. Do this, especially
“juicy” cutting material (tomatoes, fruit, roasts,
et cetera) are cut. Handle the blade with
great care.
• Pull the slide towards yourself.
• Undo the blade cover plate by turning it
45 deg. to the right. Note: You can turn
the blade cover plate by 45 deg. by hand
or alternatively you put a coin (such as 1
Euro coin) into the slot provided and turn
the blade cover plate by 45 deg. then. Do
not press to much because it may happen
you cannot remove the blade directly.
• Turn the blade lock 90 deg. to the right and
carefully remove the blade.
• Use a moist cloth to clean the inside of the
blade.
• From time to time the cogwheel of the
blade should be greased.
• Place the blade and the blade cover plate
in reverse order. Place the blade cover
plate , turn it clockwise by 45 deg. until it
snaps in briefly and does not drop off.
• Place the blade with the greatest of care
as it is a very sharp object.
Slide
In order to clean the slide better, remove it
from the unit.
• Pull the slide bar out of the slide on the
right-hand side.
• Pull the slide towards yourself and remove.
• Use a moist cloth or running water to clean
all parts.
Important: Do not clean the slide in a
dishwasher!
• Once a month, add some drops of re-
sin-free oil or petroleum jelly to the slide-
way. Use a soft cottonwool cloth to remo-
ve excessive oil / petroleum jelly.
