Hobart FP300 manual Using The Feed Hopper, Using The Feed Tube, Cleaning

USING THE FEED HOPPER

After the pusher plate is raised, pre-pared products, such as potatoes, carrots, onions, lettuce, cabbage, etc. can be placed in the large feed hopper.

When cutting French fries with the Julienne cutter, position the potatoes at the lower-right corner of the large feed hopper. The potatoes may be stacked to cut several at one time. NOTE: For consistent results, stack product in the lower-right corner of the feed hopper, one pile only.

The large feed hopper is also used to slice round products, such as lemons and tomatoes. Position the product in the lower-right corner of the feed hopper. NOTE: For best results, it is advisable to remove tops and tails from products like lemons, limes, or onions and place them in the hopper perpendicular to the desired cut.

USING THE FEED TUBE

Twist the knob to release the catch on the feed tube pusher and pull out to expose the feed tube opening.

The feed tube is used for slicing long, thin shaped products, such as cucumbers or carrots or to contain small items like radishes. The machine does not stop when the feed tube pusher is removed; this allows products to be processed continuously. Always use the feed tube pusher.

CLEANING

WARNING: TURN THE MACHINE OFF AND UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD BEFORE CLEANING.

Clean the machine immediately after each use. Dismantle all removable parts from the machine and wash them in warm water and detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

NOTE: Allowing food juices to dry on the machine may cause discoloration. NEVER clean feed hopper, cutting tools or other aluminum parts in highly alkaline dishwashing solutions or in excessively hot water as this can cause formation of aluminum oxide (black). DO NOT USE steel wool or sharp objects for cleaning machine surfaces if they become discolored; scratched surfaces become hard to keep clean.
