Installation, Operation, and Care of MODEL 3613 & 3713 SLICERS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The model 3613 and 3713 slicers are equipped with a 1⁄2 HP motor and are available for single-phase electrical service. The slicer features the Hobart CleanCut 13" diameter contoured stainless steel knife. The slicer is furnished with a cord and plug as standard equipment. The model 3713 slicer features automatic slicing with a choice of three speeds for the PRODUCT TRAY (Fig. 1).
INSTALLATION UNPACKING Immediately after unpacking the slicer, check for possible shipping damage. If the slicer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery. Prior to installing the slicer, test the electrical service to assure it agrees with the specifications on the machine data plate. The data plate is located on the left side of the slicer base. PRODUCT TRAY The PRODUCT TRAY (Fig. 1) must be installed on the slicer.
SHARPENER The SHARPENER is mounted on top of the slicer (Fig. 4). You can remove it by lifting it straight up. Reinstall the SHARPENER by lowering it back onto the SHARPENER MOUNT so the R OD AND PIN on the bottom of the SHARPENER fit the SLOT in the S HARPENER MOUNT (Fig. 4). To use the S HARPENER, refer to page 12. SHARPENER SHARPENER MOUNT ROD & PIN SLOT Fig.
