not exceed 200 parts per million concentration of available chlorine. For example, mixing 1 tablespoon of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite bleach with 1 gallon of water yields a solution containing 200 ppm of available chlorine. Solution with concentrations greater than 200 ppm will accelerate corrosion of metals. Maximum exposure to sanitation solution varies with temperature and concentration. Rinse with clean water.
MAINTENANCE KNIFE SHARPENING The Hobart cast 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 or even daily, the knife will be expended in a shorter time. Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in unnecessary knife wear. WARNING: UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD. Turn the index knob fully clockwise to close the gauge plate.
