INTENDED USE
The manual food slicer is used for
the slicing of household foods.
The food slicer is suitable
for contact with foodstuffs.
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 components and keep
them in a safe place along with
the packaging itself. Clean the
appliance before allowing it to
come into contact with any food
(see CLEANING).
Setting up the appliance
• Place the appliance on a flat,
even surface.
• Press down on the appliance
so that the suction feet (4) attach
themselves to the surface.

Assembling the appliance
Assembling the hand crank (1):
A
Loosen the fastening
screw (10) and remove it.
• If the plastic bushing (9a) is
not fully inside the crankcase (9),
push the bushing backwards.
When doing so, ensure that the
lip on the plastic bushing fits
exactly into the slot provided on
the crankcase.
• Place the hand crank on the
shaft (9b).
Replace the fastening screw
and tighten it using a suitably
sized coin.
C
Insert the slicing board (12)
from the right (on the amano
piatto
model).
3/5
Mount the slice carriage (5):
• Insert the slice carriage into
the front locking pin (6a) of the
carriage guidance element (6).
• Then swivel the slice carriage
downwards to insert it into the
rear locking pin (6b) of the car-
riage guidance element.
Slide the left-over holder (7)
onto the handle of the slice
carriage.
Moving the appliance
C
Do not use the slicing
board (12) to lift the appliance.
Before moving the appliance, you
should slide the slicing board to
the right out of the appliance (on
the amano
/piatto
model). The
3/5
3/5
board can only be pulled out to
the right.
Take hold of the bottom of
the appliance next to the right
suction foot and lift it up carefully.
The suction feet will detach
themselves from the surface one
by one.
SLICING
Use the slice thickness
adjustment knob (14) to set the
required thickness.
Info:
Slice thickness: 0 mm to approx.
20 mm. The slice thickness
adjustment scale is not a millime-
tre scale. For safety reasons, the
"0" position is designed to cover
the blade.
C
Pull the slicing board (12)
out slightly to the right to collect
the cut slices (on the amano
piatto
model). The board can
3/5
only be pulled out to the right.
• Place a plate or similar under-
neath to catch the cut slices if
/
3/5
necessary (on the manus
model).
H
Place the food guide
bracket (11) in a horizontal posi-
tion until it locks into place.
Info:
The food guide bracket ensures
that long, hard foods (e.g. a
large loaf of bread) are passed
on to the crank without hindering
movement.
For short, thin, soft slices, we rec-
ommend that you turn the guide
upwards (e.g. for sausages).
Place the food to be sliced
onto the slice carriage (5). Use
the left-over holder (7) to lightly
press the food up against the
stop plate (3).
Protect your hands by always
using the slice carriage and,
where applicable, the left-over
holder.
K
Exception: Excessively large
foods for slicing.
• Use your right hand to turn
the hand crank (1) in a clockwise
direction with even pressure.
• As soon as the rotary blade (8)
starts moving, gently place the
food to be sliced next to the
rotary blade.
