Wash and rinse both sides of the KNIFE by wiping outward from the center. Use a mild detergent or
sanitizer solution only. Never clean any part of the slicer with steel pads. Clean out the hole for
the knife cover rod as necessary by swabbing with a tube brush.
Do not exceed chemical manufacturer’s recommended concentrations for detergent or sanitizer. Do
not exceed 200 parts per million concentration of available chlorine (1 tablespoon of 5.25% sodium
hypochlorite bleach with 1 gallon of water). Concentrations greater than 200 ppm accelerate corrosion
of metals. Maximum exposure to sanitizing solution varies with temperature and concentration. Rinse
with clean water.
Reassemble the SHARPENER by lowering it onto the sharpener post. Replace the KNIFE COVER: Insert
the knife cover rod into its hole (lower left side); position the KNIFE COVER over the center hole so the
guide pin fits the hole in the rim and the hub fits the center hole; tighten the KNIFE COVER KNOB (Fig. 1)
so the threads at the end of the rod screw into the threaded hub underneath the KNIFE COVER. Lower
the CARRIAGE TRAY / SUPPORT ARM onto the carriage and tighten the KNOB (Fig. 2) clockwise until snug.
The slicer has a cleaning leg underneath the machine. Lift the front of the slicer until the cleaning leg
swings straight down. Pull the cleaning leg all the way to the front so the slicer is completely supported
before cleaning underneath.
DO NOT wash any slicer components in a dishwasher. DO NOT immerse slicer base or motor in water.
DO NOT hose down slicer or splash excessively with water. If using a chlorinated sanitizing solution,
dilute per manufacturer’s guidelines and rinse with fresh water.
NOTE: Failure to follow use, care and maintenance instructions may void your Hobart warranty.
MAINTENANCE
KNIFE SHARPENING
The KNIFE will provide long service in normal food store or 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 KNIFE COVER by unscrewing
the KNOB and lifting it off the slicer. Thoroughly wash the area around the KNIFE, the exposed KNIFE
surfaces and the KNIFE edge. Do not allow fat from meat or cheese to transfer from KNIFE to SHARPENER.
Plug in machine power cord. Turn the slicer ON. Pull the SHARPENER HANDLE (Fig. 3)
forward for 5 seconds and release. 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 KNIFE COVER.
LUBRICATION
Maintain smooth slicing by applying a few drops of mineral oil on the carriage slide rod underneath the
slicer base. Do not use vegetable oil.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse blown.
