DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING
1. Turn the slicer off, turn the slice thickness dial clockwise until it stops so the
table covers the knife’s edge, and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the end weight and slide rod. Unscrew the slide rod (Fig. 10-1) from
the base of the food chute releasing the end weight and slide rod.
3. Remove the food chute by rotating the food chute release knob (Fig 10-2)
ONLY two turns counterclockwise
. Lift the food chute straight up off the
support arm (Fig. 10-3).
• DO NOT turn the food chute release knob more than two turns.
Complete removal of the knob will cause the slicer to not operate
properly.
4. The slice deflector can be removed by unscrewing the screw knobs.
5. Remove the product receiving tray from the base of the slicer for cleaning.
BE ALERT. The next steps will expose the knife.
6. Clean and sanitize the knife sharpener. Remove the cover of the knife sharpener by
unscrewing the top set screw located on the back of the knife sharpener exposing
the stones (Fig. 10-4). Remove food debris with a cleaning brush. Clean thoroughly
and sanitize the entire sharpener.
Once the sharpener has been cleaned, sanitized, and has air dried, place
the sharpener cover back on and screw it tightly back into place.
NOTE: Allow the stones to dry completely before using the sharpener.
7. Remove the knife cover by rotating the knife cover release knob
counterclockwise until it releases (Fig. 10-5). 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.

8. Place all removable parts in a three compartment sink with
warm water and mild detergent solution; soak, clean, and
thoroughly scrub all surfaces. (Removable parts include: food
chute, slide rod, end weight, knife cover and receiving tray)
Rinse removable parts with fresh, clean water. Following the
instructions on your quaternary sanitizer label, soak the food
chute, knife cover, knife sharpener and slice deflector in a proper
solution of quaternary sanitizer for a minimum of two minutes.
Allow these parts to air dry.
An important step to kill bacteria is to
allow the parts to air dry before reinstalling!
