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 wool or sharp objects for cleaning machine surfaces if they become discolored; scratched surfaces become hard to keep clean.

1.Remove feed tube pusher and rinse in luke warm water. Raise the pusher plate and turn it to the left.

2.Remove the feed hopper and rinse it in luke warm water.

3.Lift out the cutting plate. If you have used the dicing grid, push the remaining leftovers through the grid with the nylon brush before removing.

4.Remove dicing plate and flinger plate; rinse in luke warm water.

5.Turn the pusher plate back clockwise over the feed hopper and lower it.

6.Place a pan under the exit chute and pour luke warm water from the top through the knife chamber. Run wet cloth through feed tube. Wipe with a clean dry cloth.

7.Return the cutting tools to the wall rack. Lower the flinger plate onto the knife shaft until the flinger plate seats on the shaft pin.

8.Place the feed hopper on the hinge pins and lower to normal position. Turn and lower the pusher plate. Replace the feed tube pusher.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: TURN THE MACHINE OFF AND UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD BEFORE DOING ANY MAINTENANCE.

Routinely inspect the machine to assure that it is in proper working order. Plates must be clean, intact and sharp.

The pusher plate shaft should be regularly lubricated with a drop of mineral oil, NOT COOKING OIL.

If the machine develops any problems, contact your local Hobart service office.

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.
