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
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 left-over holder (9)
onto the slice carriage's handle.
Unwind the power cord (7) to
the length required from the cable
compartment (8) under the appli-
ance and insert the power plug
into the socket.
SLICING
Use the slice thickness adjust-
ment knob (4) to set the required
thickness.
Info:
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 left-over holder (9) to press it
up against the stop plate (2).
• Switch the appliance on
using the power switch (1). Two
operating modes are available:
Temporary (Position II): The
rotary blade (11) runs as long as
the power switch is pressed and
held down in this position.
Continuous operation
(Position I): The rotary blade
runs without the power switch
being pressed and held down
until you move the power switch
to the "0" position.
Info:
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.
Protect your hands by always
using the slice carriage and,
where applicable, the left-over
holder. Exception: Excessively
large foods to be sliced.

Over time, an accumulation of
food residue may cause damage
to the surface of the rotary blade,
causing it to rust.

E 16 / arcus3 / fortis1) and the left-
over 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.

blade (11) at its rotational centre
and remove it.
