DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING
ALWAYS wear stainless steel mesh safety gloves and single-use gloves
during
disassembly, cleaning and sanitizing, reassembly, and sharpening of the slicer.
1. Turn slicer off.
2. Turn slice thickness dial clockwise past zero (0) until
it stops so the table covers the knife edge.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. With a clean cloth, wipe off the slicer to remove liquids and food particles.
5. Remove the food chute’s end weight. Hold the end weight and unscrew the
slide rod (Fig. 12-1). Pull the slide rod out of the end weight, releasing both the rod
and the end weight (Fig 12-2).
6. Remove the food chute by loosening the food chute release knob that fastens the
food chute to the chute arm.
BE ALERT. The next steps will expose the knife.
7. Remove the sharpener inlay by loosening the sharpener release knob located on
the sharpener neck. Lift and remove the sharpener inlay off of the slicer and place it
of to the side of the slicer (Fig. 12-3).
8. Remove the knife cover. Unscrew the knob on top of the knife cover. Hold the
knife cover at the tabs, located on the top and bottom of the knife cover (Fig. 12-4A).
Carefully rock the knife cover away from the bottom pin and pull the cover away
from the knife (Fig. 12-4B).
BE ALERT.
The slicer knife edge is exposed. Always be aware of the placement
of your hands/fi ngers in relationship to the knife.
9. Attached to the ring guard is a removable, fl exible slice
defl ector. At the center of the ring guard is a locking tab (Fig. 12-5).
Carefully pull the bottom of the tab outward with two fi ngers while
securing the top of the tab, in place, with your thumb.
10. Carefully lift the slice defl ector from between the knife and the
ring guard (Fig 12-6).
11. Place all removable parts in a three compartment sink
with warm water and mild detergent solution; soak, clean, and
thoroughly scrub all surfaces using a solution of mild
detergent and warm water. (Removable parts include: food chute,
end weight, slide rod, knife cover,
and slice defl ector.) Clean and
sanitize the attached sharpener inlay.

An important step to
kill bacteria is to
allow the parts to air
