Unfold the illustrations at the front

INTENDED USE

The multi slicer is used for the 

slicing of household foods.

If the appliance is used for a 

purpose other than this, or if it is 

operated incorrectly, severe inju­

ries may occur or the appliance 

may be damaged. All warranty 

and liability claims will be ren­

dered null and void in this case.

BEFORE USING THE 

 APPLIANCE FOR THE 

FIRST TIME

Preparation

Remove the appliance carefully 

from the packaging. Remove all 

packaging parts and keep these 

together with the packaging in a 

safe place. Clean the appli­

ance before allowing it to come 

into contact with any food (see 

CLEANING).

Setting-up the appliance

• 

Set the appliance down on a 

flat, non-skid surface close to a 

mains socket.

 Using a small amount of 

force, push the slice carriage (3) 

vertically into the guide groove on 

the appliance until it audibly locks 

into place.

 Slide the left­over holder (9) 

onto the slice carriage's handle.

 Unwind the mains cable (7) to 

the length required from the cable 

compartment (8) under the appli­

ance and insert the mains plug 

into the socket.

SLICING

 Use the slice thickness adjust­

ment knob (4) to set the required 

thickness.

Note:

The slice thickness adjustment 

scale is not a millimetre scale. 

For safety reasons, the "0" posi-

tion is designed to cover the 

blade.

 Place the food to be sliced 

onto the slice carriage (3). Use 

the left­over holder (9) to press it 

up against the stop plate (2).

Caution:

Protect your hands by always 

using the slice carriage and, 

where applicable, the left­over 

holder. Exception: Excessively 

large foods to be sliced.

 Switch the appliance on using 

the switch (1). Two operating 

modes are available:

Temporary (Position II):

 The 

rotary blade (11) runs as long as 

the switch is pressed and held 

down in this position.

Continuous operation 

 (Position  I): 

The rotary blade 

runs without the switch being 

pressed and held down until 

you move the switch to the "0" 

position.

Note:

Never use the appliance for more 

than a maximum of 5 minutes in 

continuous operation.

• 

With the appliance running, 

gently feed the food to be sliced 

into the path of the rotary blade.

• 

Once slicing has been com­

pleted, wait until the rotary blade 

has come to a complete stop.

• 

After each use, turn the slice 

thickness adjustment knob to the 

"0" position, in order to cover up 

the sharp rotating blade and to 

avoid any injuries.

CLEANING

Caution:

Switch the appliance off before 

cleaning it; pull the mains plug 

out off the socket and turn the 

slice thickness adjustment 

knob (4) to the "0" position.

Clean the multi slicer regularly 

to prevent the accumulation of 

food residue. The rotary blade 

must also be cleaned regularly 

as described below to prevent its 

surface from rusting.

Note:

Over time, an accumulation of 

food residue may cause damage 

to the surface of the rotary blade, 

causing it to rust.

Preparation

• 

Remove the slice tray (5, 

E 16

 / 

fortis

) and the left­over 

holder (9).

 Pull the slice carriage (3) 

forward and then lift it up and out 

of the guide groove.
Removing the rotary blade:

 Place a suitable coin on the 

blade catch (10) and turn it in a 

clockwise direction.

• 

Take hold of the rotary 

blade (11) at its rotational centre 

and remove it.

Cleaning after each use

• 

Wipe down the housing and 

all removed parts, including the 

rotary blade, with a damp cloth.

Occasional cleaning

• 

Give all removed parts, includ­

ing the rotary blade, a thorough 

wash in warm soapy water (not in 

the dishwasher!).

• 

Clean the housing behind the 

blade using a dry cloth/brush.

Note:

Do not use any abrasive cleans-

ers, sponges with rough surfaces 

or hard brushes to clean the 

appliance.
