MAINTENANCE
WARNING: TURN THE MACHINE OFF AND UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD BEFORE DOING ANY MAINTENANCE.
Routinely inspect the machine to make sure that it is in proper working order. Plates must be clean, intact and sharp.
The knife shaft should be regularly lubricated with a drop of mineral oil, NOT COOKING OIL.
REPLACEMENT DICING GRIDS
Depending on usage, dicing grids become dull from wear with an average life expectancy from 8 – 18 months. Dicing grids cannot be resharpened and are therefore expendable. Replacement dicing grids are available from your local Hobart Service office.
