LUBRICATION
Various slicer parts need to be lubricated periodically using oil. The oil is a light, tasteless, odorless mineral oil that
will not contaminate or impart odors or taste to sliced food products.
DO NOT USE VEGETABLE OIL TO LUBRICATE SLICER.
VEGETABLE OIL WILL DAMAGE THE SLICER!
FOOD CHUTE SLIDE ROD
It is necessary to lubricate the food chute slide rod with oil if the food chute becomes difficult
to push.
1. Make sure slicer is off and unplugged.
2. Put several drops of oil on slide rod (Fig. 18-1) towards the front of slide rod.
3. Push food chute back and forth several times to distribute the oil onto slide rod.
4. Plug slicer in.
SHARPENER SHAFTS
It is necessary to lubricate the sharpener shafts with oil every week.
1. Loosen sharpener release knob and pull sharpener up to remove it (Fig. 18-2).
2. Put several drops of oil on shaft behind each sharpening stone (Fig 18-3).
3. Push sharpener button a couple of times to distribute the oil onto the shafts.
4. Put several drops of oil on main shaft (Fig. 18-2), place sharpener back into position and
tighten sharpener release knob.
5. Wipe off any excess oil that drips onto slicer.
NOTE: Sharpener and stones can be cleaned with warm water and a brush.
Allow to air dry. If sharpener or stones are cleaned, it is very important that
all sharpener shafts are lubricated with oil afterwards!
END WEIGHT SLIDE ROD
The end weight slide rod should be lubricated with a few drops of oil every
week or when excessive drag is felt.
1. Apply a few drops of oil to slide rod (Fig. 18-4).
2. Slide end weight up and down to distribute the oil.
