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. 4). Tilt the Carriage Tray / Support Arm to the right until almost horizontal (Fig. 4). 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. 8) so you can make sure the Carriage Tray stays with its own slicer.

Remove the Top Knife Cover by rotating the Latch Knob (Fig. 4) 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.
