SAFETY

SAFETY DEVICES INCORPORATED IN THIS SLICER MUST BE IN THEIR CORRECT OPERATING POSITION ANY TIME THE SLICER IS IN USE.

The Slicer features one speed, one stroke automatic slicing.

The Knife Cover should already be secured in place with the Knife Cover Knob on the left side tightened clockwise (Fig. 1). The Ring Guard is not removable.

The Meat Grip (Fig. 4) helps secure product in position and must be used when slicing short ends to keep your hand(s) away from the knife.

When the slicer is not running, the Index Knob (Fig. 2) must be turned fully clockwise so the Gauge Plate covers the Knife edge.

Always UNPLUG the Power Cord before cleaning or moving the Slicer.

Fig. 2

WARNING Rotating knife. Unplug machine power cord before cleaning, servicing or removing parts. Replace parts before use.

SLICING

With the Gauge Plate fully closed, pull the Product Tray forward until it stops. With the Meat Grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on the Product Tray. Set the Meat Grip against the product. Turn the slicer on by pressing the Blade Power Switch ON (Fig. 2).

To operate slicer in automatic mode, change lever to automatic position at 9 o'clock. Turn the slicer on by pressing the Blade Power Switch ON (Fig. 2), then press the Automatic Power Button ON (Fig. 2).

If the Meat Grip is not needed, store it out of the way by lifting it to the top of the Meat Grip Rod and rotating it 270^ behind the Product Tray. Allow it to rest on the small notch of the upper Product Tray slot.

NOTE: The OFF button can be pressed to stop the slicer. The Product Tray will stop moving immediately.

Adjust the Gauge Plate to obtain the desired slice thickness by turning the Index Knob (Fig. 2) to vary the slice thickness from paper thin to 9/16 thick. Use the Carriage Handle (Fig. 2) to move the carriage back and forth to slice.

CLEANING

CLEANING AND SANITIZING

Thoroughly clean, rinse and sanitize the slicer after each day's use or after being idle for an extended time.

WARNING The slicer knife is very sharp. Exercise extreme caution when working near the knife.

WARNING Unplug the machine power cord and turn index knob fully clockwise to close the gauge plate before cleaning the slicer.

NOTE: Sanitizer concentration shall comply with Section 4-501.114, Manual and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitation - Temperature, pH, Concentration, and Hardness of the FDA Food Code. If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine, or quaternary ammonium is used, it shall be applied in accordance with the EPA-registered label use instructions.

Cleaning Surface and Parts

Frequency: The slicer shall be cleaned and sanitized at intervals to comply with national, state and/or local health codes.

Disassemble all removable slicer parts including Product Tray, Meat Grip, Meat Grip Rod, Slice Deflector, Knife Cover, Knife Cover Knob, and Sharpening Stone (See Fig. 1 and 2). Wash all surfaces of the machine with warm soapy water, a towel and mild detergent. Also, wash surfaces where food or liquid can accumulate or where there is frequent hand contact including handles, knobs and the control panel. Use generous amounts of soapy water on the sharpener hardware and knife hub. Clean all removable parts with water, a towel and mild detergent (refer to Page 7). Rinse with water and clean towel. Sanitize and let air dry.

• Excessive amounts of sanitizer and use of products not formulated for aluminum may void your Hobart warranty.
• DO NOT wash any slicer components in a dishwasher.
  DO NOT hose down slicer or splash excessively with water.
• Use ONLY products formulated to be safe on stainless steel or aluminum.
  DO NOT exceed chemical manufacturer's recommended concentrations for detergent or sanitizer.
• DO NOT clean any parts of the slicer with a steel pad.

Cleaning Meat Grip and Product Tray

Turn Index Knob fully clockwise until Gauge Plate is in closed position. Pull Product Tray to home position. Unscrew knob on Product Tray and lift to remove (Fig. 3). Unscrew Meat Grip Knob in order to extract Meat Grip Rod from the Product Tray (Fig. 4). Set aside rod and Meat Grip. Wash surface area, Product Tray, Meat Grip and Meat Grip Rod with water, a towel and mild detergent. Rinse, sanitize and let air dry. To replace the Product Tray, lower the tray onto the carriage and tighten the knob clockwise until snug. Thread Meat Grip Rod into Product Tray extension and then insert into Meat Grip. Tighten rod clockwise until snug.

Cleaning Knife and Slice Deflector

With Meat Grip and Product Tray removed, turn Index Knob fully closed. Unscrew the Knife Cover Knob (Fig. 5). Push the knob to remove Knife Cover. Remove both the Knife Cover and the Knife Cover Knob. Remove the Slice Deflector (Fig. 6) by sliding deflector downward to elongated slots. Wash, rinse and sanitize the Knife Cover Knob, Knife Cover, Slice Deflector and both sides of the Knife by wiping outward from the center. Allow to air dry.

Fig. 5 Fig. 6

Cleaning Ring Guard

Work a moistened paper towel between the Ring Guard and Knife. Insert the towel at the base of the Ring Guard (Fig. 7). Manually rotate the Knife to wipe Ring Guard and the edge of Guard Plate.

To replace the Knife Cover, insert the Knife Cover Knob into its hole (lower left side) and 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. 5) so the threads at the end of the rod screw into the threaded hub underneath the Knife Cover.

Cleaning Sharpening Stone

Each time the Sharpener is used, the sharpening stones should be examined for cleanliness. Scrub stones with a stiff bristle brush. Rinse with clean water and sanitize.

Reassemble the Sharpener by lowering it onto the sharpener post (Fig. 8).

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: Failure to follow use, care and maintenance instructions may void your Hobart warranty.

GASKET INSPECTION (FIG. 9)

The recommended interval between inspections shall not exceed six months for components that are detached for cleaning and sanitizing (all the gaskets in the images).

The inspections must be made by the manufacturer or its authorized service agent.

WARNING The slicer must be removed from service until repaired by the manufacturer or its authorized service agent if any gasket or seal is found to be damaged, or missing.

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 sharpening too frequently 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.

Turn the slicer ON. Pull the Sharpener Handle (Fig. 10) forward for 15 seconds and release. Turn the slicer off. Unplug machine power cord. Clean and sanitize the slicer as outlined in the cleaning section after sharpening the Knife. Replace the Knife Cover.
