MAINTENANCE Unplug the machine power cord and turn the index knob fully clockwise to
close the gauge plate before doing any maintenance on the slicer.
KNIFE SHARPENING
The CleanCutTM KNIFE will provide long service in normal food retail or commercial kitchen use.
Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in unnecessary
KNIFE wear. The SHARPEN KNIFE indicator light (Fig. 9 or Fig. 10) will come on after a factory-preset
number of slicing strokes to indicate when sharpening is needed. This number has been set to
represent a typical operation. Your operation may need more frequent sharpening.
Remove the TOP KNIFE COVER and the plastic RING G UARD COVER. Turn
the LATCH KNOB counterclockwise and lift the TOP KNIFE COVER and
plastic RING GUARD COVER off the slicer (Figs. 5, 6 & 7). Thoroughly
wash the area around the KNIFE and both sides of the outer rim of the
KNIFE. Food debris should not be allowed to transfer from the KNIFE
to the SHARPENER. Plug in the machine power cord. When SHARPEN
KNIFE indicator light is on, press the SHARPEN KNIFE button (Fig. 9 or
Fig. 10) with your right hand while pulling the SHARPENER LEVER fully
forward with your left hand (Fig. 29). The KNIFE comes on, sharpens
for 8 seconds and shuts off. Release the SHARPENER LEVER. The stroke
counter will then automatically reset. To sharpen before the SHARPEN
KNIFE indicator light illuminates: Follow the directions above, but
instead of turning on the motor with the SHARPEN KNIFE button, press
the ON button for 8 seconds. Then, release the SHARPENER LEVER and
press the OFF button. Unplug the SLICER power cord. Wipe the slicer with a clean damp cloth to remove
any grinding particles. Reinstall the plastic RING GUARD COVER and the TOP KNIFE COVER.
LUBRICATION — Carriage Slide Rod
The slicer lubrication system requires that the reservoirs under the CARRIAGE TRANSPORT be refilled with
Lubriplate FMO-200-AW oil (supplied) after approximately 1 year of operation for a manual slicer
(model 3813) and after approximately 6 months of operation on an automatic slicer (model 3913).
Typical operation is estimated to be 3 hours of slicing per day. To check whether the reservoirs are
empty, lift up the right side of the slicer base and allow the LIFT ASSIST to support the machine (Fig. 18).
Leave the PRODUCT TRAY in place on the CARRIAGE TRANSPORT.
Look through the CARRIAGE SLOT (Fig. 7) to observe the oil
level in the CLEAR PLASTIC RESERVOIRS under the CARRIAGE
TRANSPORT (Fig. 30). A flashlight (not supplied) might be
helpful. To replenish the oil reservoirs: Remove the SIDE
PANEL (Fig. 7) ( 4 screws), and aim the telescoping tube
on the Lubriplate FMO-200-AW oil bottle at the RESERVOIR
FUNNELS above the FRONT and REAR BEARING BLOCKS.
Gently squeeze the sides of the bottle to add drops slowly
to the reservoir(s) (Fig. 30). Move the CARRIAGE T RANSPORT
as necessary to access the front and rear RESERVOIR
FUNNELS. The drops will slowly feed into the CLEAR PLASTIC
RESERVOIRS. Replace the SIDE PANEL.
SERVICE
Contact your local Hobart-authorized service office for any repairs or adjustments needed on the slicer.
