4.2. Starting the slicing programme
You have already put the food product into the carriage and you have adjusted the thickness of slices and the
speed.
When the machine is installed the technician adjusts the slicing programmes corresponding to
your special requirements. These programmes are saved for the functions stacking and
shingling. The application remains unchanged and is loaded after every restart of the machine.
This way you can operate the machine easily. You can start the machine as follows:
- push the green main switch
- then push the key "stacking" or the key "shingling"
Now the blade is turning and also the carriage is moving automatically if it is engaged. In case the carriage is
disengaged and you want to operate the machine manually you have to move the carriage forward and backward by
using the handle in front of the carriage. It is very important to push the carriage to the utmost back position in order
to trigger off the depositing procedure.
The machine is slicing now until the maximum height of the stack is reached when you have pushed the key
"stacking" or until the maximum number of slices is reached when you have pushed the key for "shingling".
The slicing procedure can be interrupted at any time by pushing the key "stacking" or "shingling".
page 11
4.3. Display functions
Two basic programmes can be used in a very variable way. You have the possibility to cut up to 9 shingled portions
(layers) on top of each other or to cut 2 stacks positioned on the receiving tray one behind the other. Furthermore
there can be adjusted the number of slices required per portion. The different features are described below.
The machine is equipped with a small display showing different information. After having switched on the machine
there is shown shortly the programme version ’U1.0’ and then depending on the opening of the thickness plate
the following:
When the thickness plate is closed completely or is opened less than 0,8 mm the display shows ’OFF’. In this
position the machine does not start in the automatic mode as it would not make any sense to start slicing with
closed thickness plate.
When opening the thickness plate slightly the display changes from ’U1.0’ to the thickness of slices, for example
’1.5’. The slice thickness shown on the display corresponds exactly to the thickness of the slices cut. The scale
on the thickness knob serves as adjusting aid.
When increasing the slice thickness to more than 7,1 mm the display shows ’OFF’as it is not possible to slice a
thickness of more than 7 mm.
If the machine should cut the maximum number of slices per portion, the automatic carriage movement can be
started by just pushing the key for stacking or the key for shingling after the slice thickness has been adjusted. As
soon as one of the keys has been pushed the display shows ’001’ and the machine starts slicing after a short
moment.
In case the corresponding key is pushed within this short moment again the display changes to ’002’. For
stacking this means that two stacks are deposited one behind the other on the receiving tray. However, this is only
possible if the height of the food product allows this.
For shingling it means that two layers are deposited on top of each other. For shingling there can be made up to 9
layers on top of each other by pushing the key shingling 9 times shortly. The display shows the number of layers
adjusted.
In case there is requested a certain number of slices per portion this can be adjusted by pushing the key "carriage
faster" or carriage slower". By pushing the key "carriage faster" the number of slices is increased by 1 slice each
and by pushing the key "carriage slower" the number of slices is decreased by 1 slice each. As long as there is
shown on the display the thickness of slices the machine is cutting the maximum number of slices per portion.
If during the standstill a key is pushed the display changes from the slice thickness to the number of slices
adjusted. As soon as the number of slices is adjusted to 0 the display shows again the slice thickness. If for
example there should be cut 10 slices the key "carriage faster" has to be pushed 10 times and the display shows
’010’. Now the machine can be started by pushing the key stacking or shingling and there will be cut 10 slices
and the machine stops when the number of slices is reached. Also for this feature you have the possibility to adjust
2 stacks or up to 9 layers.
For example you could adjust the following slicing programme: You would like to cut 5 layers, each layer should
have 8 slices. The display shows the slice thickness adjusted (i.e. ’1.5’), by pushing 8 times the key "carriage
faster" there will be shown on the display ’008’ which means that a portion will consist of 8 slices. Then start the
machine by pushing the key for shingling 5 times shortly after each other. The display shows 5 and the machine
starts. As soon as the machine is started the display changes from the adjusted number of slices ’008’ and
counts to zero. When the 8 slices are cut the receiving tray moves back and the next layer is cut. In case the
adjusted number of slices is higher than it is possible to deposit on the receiving tray only the maximum possible
number of slices is cut.
5. Slicing of end pieces
Special notes regarding slicing of rests and end pieces of food products:
Before placing the remaining piece of the food product in the carriage you have to cut off the pointed end. Otherwise
the food product cannot be held correctly by the end piece holder. It is even better to turn the original cutting side of
the food product to the end piece holder.
Move the end piece holder backwards as far as it will go.
Lay the food product against the back of the carriage.
page 12
Adjust the adjusting bar according to the size of the food product.
Disengage the end piece holder and push it by hand behind the food product,
until the food product is in close contact to the thickness plate.
Adjust the thickness of slices with the thickness knob (max. 10 mm)
Never try to hold the food product by hand, you may hurt yourself seriously!
Always use the end piece holder.
Never try to load the carriage while it is moving automatically. Always switch off the machine
first, otherwise there is a risk to get injured!
6. Cleaning
Before initial operation and after a longer period of standstill the machine has to be cleaned carefully.
With permanent use of the machine you have to clean it at least one time per day or if necessary also a few times
per day. For cleaning proceed as follows:

7. Sharpening the blade
In case the cutting result should no longer be satisfactory or the food products are getting "beards", the blade has to
be sharpened.
There cannot be indicated certain intervals for sharpening as it depends on how frequently the machine is used.
Pay attention to the fact that the blade has to be exchanged if the gap between blade edge and
the fixed protecting ring is more than 5 mm.
According to security regulations further sharpening of the blade it is not allowed when the gap
is more than 5 mm.
7.1. Sharpening device
Every sharpening device is marked with the serial number of the machine. Only this
sharpening device may be used for sharpening.
Usage of other sharpening devices can cause serious injuries or damage the machine. Never
use another sharpening device.
The sharpening device is equipped with 1 stone for sharpening and 1 stone for taking off the burr.
Never use the sharpening device on an uncleaned machine as the stones will then loose their efficiency. In case this
should happen anyway, clean the stones carefully with washing liquid and a brush.
7.2. Mounting the sharpening device
Important! Adjust the machine to manual carriage movement (see chapter 3.4.)
Take off all removable parts (see chapter 6.4.)
