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 to close the gauge plate. Remove the Top Knife Cover by rotating the Latch Knob counterclockwise and lifting it off the slicer. Thoroughly wash the area around the knife, the exposed knife surfaces, and the knife edge. Fat from meat or cheese should not be allowed to transfer from the knife to the sharpener.

Plug in machine power cord. With the carriage tray pulled fully forward, start the slicer with your right hand by pulling the start switch forward and holding it out. If the sharpener handle is the type that does not hang downwards, pull it fully forward for 5 seconds (Fig. 11). If the sharpener handle does hang downwards, lift it with your left hand until horizontal and pull forward for 5 seconds (Fig. 11). Slowly release the sharpener handle. Release the switch knob to turn the slicer off. If necessary, repeat sharpening for another 5 seconds.

Unplug machine power cord. Wipe the slicer with a clean damp cloth to remove any grinding particles. Replace the Top Knife Cover.
