Silvercrest SAS 150 A1 manual Operation, Selecting mode of operation

5.The cutting blade 12 continues to rotate for a short while after the slicer has been switched off.

6.For reasons of safety, the slice thickness must be returned to the „0“ setting after use.

Soft foodstuffs:

Direct the food carriage 10 slowly against the cutter 12 . Soft foodstuffs, for example hams or cheeses, are best cut when they are at a low temperature / lightly chilled.

Hard foodstuffs:

With hard foodstuffs you can direct the food car- riage 10 somewhat faster against the cutter 12 . You can thus quickly prepare your required amount of of sliced foods, for example salami, bread or gherkins.

Selecting mode of operation

Note:

The two operating modes can be switched on and off with the rocker switch for intermittent / continuous operation 3 .

Continuous operation / max. 10 minutes (switch in position „I“):

Set the switch for intermittent / continuous oper- ation 3 to position „I“. The cutting blade 12 runs without it being necessary to hold the switch in this position.

Halting continuous operation: Move the switch for intermittent / continuous operation 3 into the „0“ position and wait until the cutting blade comes to a complete standstill.

Intermittent operation (switch for intermittent / continuous operation in position „II“):

Set the switch for intermittent / continuous operation 3 to position „II“.The cutting blade will continue to run for as long as the switch for intermittent / continuous operation is

held in this position. Halting intermittent opera- tion: Release the switch for intermittent / contin- uous operation 3 and wait until the cutting blade comes to a complete standstill.

Operation

Setting the Vario-switch cutting blade speed

Low revolutions / Revolution symbol narrow end:

Set a low revolution speed when you want to cut soft foodstuffs.Push the Vario-switch 2 completely in the direction of the sharp end.

High revolutions / Revolution symbol wide end:

Use a high revolution speed for slicing hard foodstuffs. Push the Vario-switch 2 completely in the direction of the broad end.

Note: Between the maximum and minimum adjustments you can naturally also carry out further individual settings. Practice appropriate trial slicings.

Slice thickness - setting and cutting

Set the required slice thickness using the control knob 14 (see Figure C). The settings on the scale do not correspond with the slice thickness in mm. For safety reasons the cuttingblade 12 is covered in setting „0“.

Place the food to be sliced on the food carriage 10 .

If necessary, press the food to be sliced with the food holder plate 11 lightly against the food support 13 .

Switch the appliance on and, whilst lightly pressing the food to be sliced forward, guide it along the cutting blade 12 . After using the slicer always set the food support plate 13 into the „0“ setting so that the sharp blade is covered. The cutting blade 12 is ideally suitable for cut- ting wafer-thin slices of cold cuts or boiled ham (see Fig. A).

To safeguard your fingers always use the food carriage 10 and the food holder plate 11 (Ex- ception: slicing very large pieces of foodstuffs).
