Place all removable parts in a three compartment sink with warm water and
a mild detergent solution; soak, clean, and thoroughly scrub all surfaces using
a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Removable parts include: end
weight, slide rod, knife cover and knife sharpener.
Rinse removable parts with fresh, clean water. Following the instructions on
your quaternary sanitizer label, soak the end weight, slide rod, knife cover
and knife sharpener 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 reassembly!
BE ALERT.
The slicer knife is fully exposed. Always be aware of the placement of
your hands/fingers in relationship to the knife.
12. Next, clean knife ring guard. Soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm water
solution. Ring out excess water from cloth.
Carefully
insert the cloth between knife and
knife ring guard (Fig. 12-1). While holding the cloth between knife and knife ring guard,
work it along the inside surface of ring guard. Repeat this procedure as necessary.
Spray sanitizer on all surfaces and let air dry.
13. The knife must also be cleaned and sanitized.
Carefully
wash and rinse the top and
bottom of knife by wiping from the
center of knife outward
(Fig. 12-2). Spray both sides of 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 slicer parts to air dry.
An important step to kill bacteria is to allow the parts to air dry before reassembly!
After cleaning and sanitizing the knife, the rest of the entire slicer must be fully cleaned, sanitized and left to air dry
before reattaching slicer parts and using the slicer.
14. Soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm water solution. Wring out excess water from cloth. With the slicer
table completely closed, wipe slicer table off by starting at knife and pulling towards
you. Never wipe slicer table towards knife. Spray or wipe a sanitizer on table and allow
it to air dry.
15. With a clean cloth soaked in mild detergent, wipe down all remaining surfaces of slicer
to remove food, debris and grease/oil. Use a nylon brush to scrub difficult areas. Use a
clean, wet cloth to rinse the entire slicer. Finish by spraying sanitizer on all surfaces and
then let air dry.
REINSTALL REMOVABLE PARTS
After cleaning, sanitizing, and allowing the parts to air dry, they must be reinstalled.
BE ALERT.
Slicer knife is exposed. Always be aware of the placement of your
hands/fingers in relationship to knife.
1. Reinstall the knife cover. Align the knife cover with the pins located at the bottom and
one at the top of the knife guard. The locator pin at the top of the knife ring guard must
be set through the knife cover and pressed into place. Once the knife cover hole is
seated over the pin, lift the cover release lever back to the up position to secure knife
cover (Fig. 12-3).
2. Reinstall knife sharpener. Put knife sharpener at the top of slicer with knife sharpener
handle pointing down (Fig. 12-4).
Note: If using the front mounted sharpener, refer to Front Mounted Sharpener
section.
