CLEANING
This machine must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized at least as often as required by local regulation
or after being idle for an extended period of time.
The slicer knife is very sharp. Exercise extreme caution when working near
the knife.
Unplug the machine power cord and turn the index knob fully clockwise to
close the gauge plate before cleaning the slicer.
For general cleaning, use a clean cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water, and wipe all surfaces
of the machine especially where food or liquids can accumulate. Be sure to wipe any surface where
there is frequent hand contact including handles, knobs and the control pad. Rinse using a fresh cloth
and clean water. Apply sanitizing solution to cleaned surfaces. Make sure the slicer is clean of all food
soil before sanitizing. Use only products formulated to be safe on stainless steel or aluminum. DO NOT
exceed chemical manufacturer’s recommended concentrations for detergent or sanitizer.
To clean the PRODUCT TRAY (remember, the GAUGE
PLATE is already closed) pull the PRODUCT TRAY all the
way to the front. Turn the KNOB on the SUPPORT ARM
counterclockwise a quarter turn; the spring-loaded
KNOB (Fig. 11) will pop outward. Tilt the PRODUCT
TRAY to the right (Fig. 11). The PRODUCT TRAY can be
cleaned in this open position, or it can be removed
by grasping with both hands and lifting straight up.
Once removed, the PRODUCT TRAY, including the
PUSHER and PUSHER HANDLE (Fig. 11), can be washed,
rinsed and sanitized in a sink.
Cleaning the Knife in Place
Remove the SHARPENER by lifting it straight up (Fig. 12).
Wipe out any residue remaining inside the SHARPENER housing. Wash, rinse and sanitize the
SHARPENER in a sink or dishwasher.
Remove the TOP KNIFE COVER by turning the LATCH KNOB (Fig. 7) counterclockwise and lifting the TOP
KNIFE COVER free of the three guide PINS (Figs. 13, 14).
Remove the plastic RING GUARD COVER from the three guide PINS on the RING GUARD (Fig. 14). Wash,
rinse and sanitize the TOP KNIFE COVER and the plastic RING GUARD COVER in a sink.
