BE ALERT. The next steps will expose the knife.
ALWAYS turn slicer off and unplug power cord BEFORE cleaning.
4. Remove the knife cover by rotating the knife cover release knob counterclockwise
until it releases (Fig. 11-1). While holding the knobs on the knife cover, carefully lift
the knife cover upward to remove.
NOTE: The slicer will not start with the knife cover removed.
5. Take the food chute and knife cover to a three compartment sink. Soak, clean
and scrub all surfaces of the food chute and knife cover using a solution of mild
detergent and warm water. Rinse removed parts with fresh, clean water. Following
the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer label, soak the food chute and knife
cover in a proper solution of quaternary sanitizer for a minimum of two minutes.
An important step to kill bacteria is to allow the parts to air dry before
reassembly!
6. To clean the knife, soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm water
solution. Ring out excess water from cloth. Carefully wash and rinse the top
and bottom (underside) of the knife by wiping from the center of the knife
outward (Fig. 11-2).
DO NOT allow moisture to get into knife hub.
7. To clean the knife ring guard, soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm
water solution. Carefully insert the cloth between the knife and the knife ring
guard (Fig. 11-3). While holding the cloth between the knife and the knife ring
guard, work it along the entire backside of the knife. A nylon brush could also
be used if preferred.
8. To clean the slicer table, soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm water
solution. With the slicer table completely closed, scrub and wipe the slicer table by starting
at the knife and pulling towards you. Never wipe the slicer table towards the knife.
9. Wipe down slicer to remove any food particles with a clean cloth and brush. Wipe and scrub all surfaces
using a solution of warm water and detergent.
10. Use clean fresh warm water and clean cloth to wipe down the entire slicer to remove detergent.
11. Spray both sides of the knife, slicer table and the entire slicer base with a non-bleach, non-chlorine sanitizer
following the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer container to ensure proper sanitation is achieved.
An important step to kill bacteria is to allow the parts to air dry before reassembly!
REASSEMBLY
1. Carefully reinstall the cleaned, sanitized and dry knife cover. Hold the knife cover with one hand while
securely tightening the knife cover release knob with the other hand.
2. Place the cleaned, sanitized and dry food chute back onto the chute arm. Tighten the food chute release
knob securely to prevent any “play” between the food chute and the chute arm.
3. Plug in power cord.
NOTE: If you wish to remove the knife sharpener for cleaning refer to page 15 for instructions.
