INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

The slicer was inspected before leaving the factory. The carrier assumes full responsibility for safe delivery

upon acceptance of the shipment. Check for possible shipping damage immediately after receipt.

If the slicer is found to be damaged, complete the following steps:

1. Carrier must be notied within ve business days of receipt.

2. Carrier’s local terminal must be notied immediately upon discovery (note the time, date, and who

was spoken to), and follow up and conrm with written or electronic communication.

3. All original packing materials must be kept for inspection purposes.

4. The slicer cannot have been moved, installed,

or modied.

5. Notify Hobart customer care at (800) 333-7447.

Prior to installing the slicer, test the electrical service

to make sure that it agrees with the specications on

the machine data plate. The data plate is located on

the right side of the slicer base.

The Product Tray is secured to the slicer by turning

the Knob (Fig. 2) below the Product Tray clockwise

until snug.

CLEANING

CLEANING AND SANITIZING

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

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

Unplug the machine power cord and turn index knob fully clockwise to close the

gauge plate before cleaning the slicer.

NOTE: Sanitizer concentrationshall complywith Section4-501.114, Manual and Mechanical Warewashing

Equipment, Chemical Sanitation – Temperature, pH, Concentration, and Hardness of the FDAFood 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 Deector,

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 Knife and Slice Deector

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 Deector (Fig. 6) by sliding deector downward to elongated slots. Wash, rinse and

sanitize the Knife Cover Knob, Knife Cover, Slice Deector and both sides of the Knife by wiping outward

from the center. Allow to air dry.

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 ts the hole in the rim and the hub ts 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 sti󰀨 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.

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.

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 o󰀨 the slicer.

Turn the slicer ON. Pull the Sharpener Handle (Fig. 10) forward for 15 seconds and release. Turn the

slicer o󰀨. Unplug machine power cord. Clean and sanitize the slicer as outlined in the cleaning section

after sharpening the Knife. Replace theKnife 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.
