To clean the Carriage Tray, close the gauge plate and pull the Carriage all the way to the front. Unscrew the Knob on the Carriage Tray / Support Arm (Fig. 3). Tilt the Carriage Tray / Support Arm to the right until almost horizontal (Fig. 3). The Carriage Tray / Support Arm can be cleaned while in this horizontal position, or it can be removed by grasping with both hands and lifting straight up. Once removed, the Carriage Tray / Support Arm can be cleaned in a sink. NOTE: The last three digits of the slicer serial number are etched on the Key (Fig. 7) so you can make sure the Carriage Tray stays with its own slicer.

Remove the Top Knife Cover by rotating the Latch Knob (Fig. 3) counterclockwise and lifting it free of the guide pins. Remove the Deflector (Fig. 1) from its mount below the slicer knife by rotating downward. Clean both Top Knife Cover and Deflector with warm soapy water in a sink. Rinse with clean water.

Remove the sharpener by pushing the Lock Lever to the left (Fig. 4). Tilt the right side up, clearing the right guide pin, then lift the sharpener up, clearing the left guide pin. Wipe out any residue remaining inside the sharpener housing and clean the sharpener in a sink. Rinse with fresh water.

Clean completely around the Ring Guard by working a moistened, folded paper towel between the Ring Guard and Knife. Insert the towel at the base of the Ring Guard. Manually rotate the knife and the towel will wipe the Ring Guard and the edge of the Gauge Plate as it follows the knife (Fig. 5).

Wash and rinse both sides of the knife by wiping outward from the center. Use a mild detergent or sanitizer solution only. Never clean any part of the slicer with steel pads.

The platter and platter support can be removed by lifting straight up. Replace after cleaning.
