Carefully reassemble the top knife cover to the slicer by placing it on the guide pins, rotating the latch knob counterclockwise until it drops into position, and releasing the knob. If equipped, clip the deflector accessory to the knife support. The ring guard is not removable.
The Model 1612P has a cleaning leg located underneath the slicer. To clean under the 1612P, raise the front of the slicer and support it with the cleaning leg (Fig. 7).
DO NOT wash any slicer components in a dishwasher.
If using a chlorinated sanitizing solution, dilute per manufacturer’s guidelines to prevent discoloration, and follow with a clear water rinse.

MAINTENANCE
KNIFE SHARPENING
The Hobart cast stainless steel knife will provide long service in normal food retail or commercial kitchen use. However, in high volume applications where it is a practice to sharpen the knife frequently or even daily, the knife will be expended in a shorter time.
Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in unnecessary knife wear.
WARNING: UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD.
Turn the index knob fully clockwise so the gauge plate is closed.
Remove the Top Knife Cover by rotating the Latch Knob. Thoroughly wash the area around the knife, the exposed knife surfaces, and the knife edge. Grease should not be allowed to transfer from the knife to the sharpening stones. Replace the Top Knife Cover; rotate Latch Knob to secure cover.
