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. Start the slicer by pulling the start switch forward until it starts and then releasing it.
With your left hand, lift the sharpener handle until horizontal. Pull the sharpener handle fully forward for 5 seconds (Fig. 11). Slowly release the sharpener handle. If necessary, repeat sharpening for another 5 seconds.
Turn the slicer off. Unplug machine power cord. Wipe the slicer with a clean damp cloth to remove any grinding particles. Replace the Top Knife Cover.
