SHARP KNIFE BLADE
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO THE SLICER OPERATOR AND CUSTOMERS:
• NEVER touch slicer before reading and completely understand everything in this instruction manual. You
must be at least 18 years old and have had proper training and authorization from your supervisor.
• BEFORE CLEANING, SERVICING OR REMOVING ANY PARTS, turn slice thickness knob counter-
clockwise until it stops.
• NEVER attempt to remove knife or knife ring guard from slicer. They must remain on slicer for proper
operation, sharpening and cleaning.
To prevent illness or death caused by the spread of food-borne pathogens, it is important
to properly clean and sanitize the entire slicer as any surface of the slicer can become
contaminated. It is the responsibility of the slicer owner/operator to follow all guidelines,
instructions and laws as established by your local and state health departments and the
manufacturers of chemical sanitizers.
Once your slicer makes contact with food product, the entire slicer, including removable parts, must
be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. This process is to be repeated at least every 4 hours using
these procedures and information; and must comply with additional laws from your state and local
health departments.
As with all food contact surfaces, it is extremely important to properly sanitize the entire slicer and to
closely follow the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer container to make sure proper sanitation
is achieved to kill potentially harmful bacteria.
Note: It may be desirable to wear non-cutting safety gloves during the cleaning operation.
IMPORTANT: If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine or quaternary ammonium is used, it must be
applied in accordance with the EPA-registered label use instructions. Excessive amounts of sanitizer and use
of products not formulated for stainless steel or aluminum may VOID your warranty.
Sanitizer concentration must comply with section 4-501.114, Manual and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment,
Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH, Concentration, and Hardness of the FDA Food Code.

• DO NOT hose down, pressure wash or pour water on slicer.
• NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool or abrasive material to clean slicer.
• It is extremely important to follow the instructions on the sanitizer container to make sure proper
sanitation is achieved. Allow the parts to air dry before placing them back on slicer!
DO NOT use bleach, products containing sodium hypochlorite or other caustic/strong detergents on slicer base or
removable parts. These products will discolor and destroy the parts.
Slicer components are easily disassembled without the use of special tools. It may be desirable to wear non-cutting
safety gloves during the cleaning operation.
