9. Next, clean the knife. Soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm water
solution. Ring out excess water from cloth. Carefully insert the cloth between the
knife and the knife ring guard (Fig. 11-1). While holding the cloth between the
knife and the knife ring guard, work it along the entire backside of the knife.
Repeat this procedure as necessary. A nylon brush can also be used, if
preferred. Spray sanitizer on all surfaces and let air dry.
10. The knife must also be cleaned and sanitized. Carefully wash and rinse the
top and bottom of the knife by wiping from the center of the knife outward
(Fig. 11-2). 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 make sure proper sanitation is achieved. Allow
the slicer parts to air dry.
An important step to kill bacteria is to allow the parts to air dry before reassembly!
11. Clean and sanitize the slicer table. Soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm
water solution. Ring out excess water from cloth. With the slicer table completely
closed, wipe the slicer table off by starting at the knife and pulling toward you. Never
wipe the slicer table toward the knife.
12. With a clean cloth soaked in mild detergent, wipe down all remaining surfaces of
the slicer to remove any food, debris and grease/oil.
13. Sanitize. Spray both sides of the knife, slicer table, and the entire slicer with a non-
bleach, non-chlorine sanitizer following the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer
container to make sure proper sanitation is achieved.
Allow the parts to air dry before reassembling!
REASSEMBLY
-
REINSTALL REMOVABLE PARTS
After cleaning, sanitizing, and allowing the parts to air dry, they must be reinstalled.
BE ALERT.
The slicer knife is exposed. Always be aware of the placement of
your hands/fingers in relationship to the knife.
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.
If you have not already done so, once the sharpener has been cleaned, sanitized, and has air dried, place the
sharpener cover back on and screw it tightly back into place. The knife sharpener MUST be in place and secure
before use.
2. Place the cleaned, sanitized, and dry food chute back onto the chute arm (Fig. 11-3).
Tighten the food chute release knob securely to prevent any “play” between the food chute and the chute arm.
3. Reinstall the end weight and slide rod. Start by threading the slide rod through the top end weight/chute
joint. Hand tighten the slide rod into the base of the food chute.
4. Place the cleaned, sanitized, and dry receiving tray back onto the slicer base.
5. Plug in the power cord.
