Cleaning the
Slic er
This section deals with cleaning your slicer, including blade cleaning.
We recommend that, before cleaning or maintenance tasks are undertaken, the machine
operator(s) receive some training from authorised Brice representatives, preferably during
the installation phase.
Before carrying out cleaning or maintenance tasks, it is very important that:
1. Power to the slicer is disconnected at the powerpoint; and
2. The thickness control is set to its “zero” position.
Be very careful performing any cleaning or maintenance task that brings you close to,
or in contact with, the slicer blade. Always perform these tasks with the appropriate
protection - steel mesh safety gloves. The blade is very sharp and the risk of a cutting
injury without proper protection or due care is high.
General Cleaning
The slicer has been designed and built for effi cient and speedy cleaning to ensure hygienic
operation.
Before using the slicer
1. Before the slicer is switched on for the fi rst time each day, quickly wipe over all ex-
posed surfaces with a cloth that has been placed in warm water and squeezed dry. This
removes any dust or other matter that may have been deposited over night.
2. Before the start of each cutting operation, and with the slicer switched off at the power
switch on the front of the machine, wipe down the thickness plate, the meat tray and
the re ceiv ing tray to remove any residual material left from the last cutting operation.
At the end of the day
1. After the slicer has been used for the last time, switch the machine off using the OFF
button ( ) and at the powerpoint, and disconnect the power cord.
2. Turn the carriage securing knob (4) anti-clockwise to release the carriage and meat
table assembly. Lift it up and away from the slicer
3. With a cloth that has been placed in warm water and mild detergent and squeezed dry,
wipe down all visible surfaces.
Cleaning the Blade
After the machine has been cleaned as described above, you can now clean the slicer blade,
itself.
You must wear appropriate hand protection, such as steel mesh safety gloves, for this
procedure as it involves uncovering and touching the blade. You risk serious injury if
you do not wear protective gloves.
1. With the carriage and meat table assembly removed, undo the blade cover securing
knob (16) and lift the blade cover (11) straight off the blade.
2. Turn the slice defl ector (14) to expose the back of the blade
3. Clean the centre plate with a warm damp cloth.
4. The blade is now completely exposed. Wearing steel mesh protective gloves, wipe
down the blade surfaces (front and back) using a warm, damp cloth.
5. Insert a damp cloth between the blade and the blade guard (12) and pull it through and
around the inside of the blade guard to clean this area.
6. Dry off the blade and lightly smear on some protective oil using the cloth supplied.
Make sure that you are still wearing the steel mesh glove.
