MAINTENANCE

WARNING: UNPLUG SLICER POWER CORD AND TURN THE INDEX KNOB FULLY CLOCKWISE

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE.

KNIFE SHARPENING

The Hobart CleanCut

stainless steel knife will provide long service in normal food retail or commercial

kitchen use. However, in high volume applications where it is a practice to sharpen the knife frequently,

the knife will be expended in a shorter time.

Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in unnecessary

knife wear.

Turn the index knob fully clockwise to close the gauge plate. Remove the Top Knife Cover by rotating

the Latch Knob counterclockwise and lifting it off the slicer. Thoroughly wash the area around the knife,

the exposed knife surfaces, and the knife edge. Fat from meat or cheese should not be allowed to

transfer from the knife to the sharpener.

Plug in machine power cord. With the carriage tray

pulled fully forward, start the slicer with your right

hand by pulling the start switch forward. Then with

your left hand, pull the sharpener handle fully forward

for 5 seconds (Fig. 11). Slowly release the sharpener

handle. Push the switch knob to turn the slicer off. If

necessary, repeat sharpening for another 5 seconds.

Unplug machine power cord. Wipe the slicer with a

clean damp cloth to remove any grinding particles.

Replace the Top Knife Cover.

To clean under the model 2912 slicer, raise the Lift Lever

past center to its stop (Fig. 10). After cleaning, return the

slicer to its normal position by slowly retracting the Lift

Lever.

DO NOT wash any slicer components in a dishwasher.

DO NOT immerse slicer base or motor in water.

If using a chlorinated sanitizing solution, dilute per

manufacturer’s guidelines. Rinse with fresh water.

NOTE: Failure to follow use, care, and maintenance

instructions may void your Hobart warranty.
