CHAPTER 6 ROUTINE CLEANING
Before starting the chapter, it is important to make a clarification: the CE
automatic gravity range of professional slicing machines complies with regulatory
measures for electrical and mechanical protection devices both during operation
and during cleaning and maintenance. There do, however, exist
RESIDUAL
RISKS (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) which cannot be eliminated completely,
and which are mentioned in this manual marked by the word CAUTION! . These
concern the danger of cutting resulting from handling the blade during
cleaning and maintenance.
6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
- The machine must be cleaned at least once a day or, if necessary, more
frequently.
- All parts of the slicing machine that come into direct or indirect contact
with the food to be cut must be thoroughly cleaned.
- The slicing machine must be cleaned with pressure washers, high pressure
water jets, and tools, brushes or anything else that could damage the
surface of the machine must not be used.
Before performing any cleaning, it is necessary to:
1. disconnect the plug from the mains to completely isolate the
machine from the rest of the system;
2. set the graduated dial that adjusts the ribbing to “0”;
3. remove the carriage.
6.2 HOW TO CLEAN THE SLICING MACHINE
CAUTION!: use only mild detergent (pH 7) with water for cleaning.
