IMPORTANT!

hour.
CLEANING OUTSIDE
CAUTION!
Watch the following safety instructions before starting to clean the unit:
• Switch the unit off before cleaning and pull the power cord from the electric
socket.
• Let the unit cool down before cleaning.
• Do not use any aggressive or abrasive detergents and no solvents.
• Do not scratch off stubborn soiling with hard objects.
• Do not put the unit in the dishwasher and do not use it under running water.
Use a soft and moist cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the unit. Use a mild deter-
gent in case of heavy soiling.
VALUE PRESERVATION OF THE BLADES
For long-lasting sharpness and value retention of your Graef blade, we
recommend to clean it in regular intervals, especially after cutting up salted meat
and/or ham. These foodstuffs contain salts, when they stay on the surface of the
blade for a longer period of time, may even form a rust film (even on “stainless”
steel). When cutting up slicing material which contains a lot of water, such as toma-
toes or cucumbers, lacking or wrong (too “wet”) cleaning may also lead to a rust
film on the blade surface. For this reason we recommend to use a moist cloth, and
if necessary some washing-up liquid, to clean the blade directly after use.
IMPORTANT!
• Never put the blade into the dishwasher which may affect the sharpness and
the corrosion resistance (salt attacks the blade). Handling the blade when
loading and unloading from the dishwasher is another danger point.
From time to time, unscrew the blade and clean the unit on the inside, especially,
when “juicy” slicing material (vegetables, fruit, roasts, et cetera) have been cut.
Treat the blade with the upmost of care.
