Installation, Operation, and Care of MODEL 2812 & 2912 SLICERS MODEL 2812PS SLICER with Portion Scale SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The model 2812, 2812PS and 2912 slicers are equipped with a 1/2 HP motor and are available for singlephase electrical service. The slicer features the exclusive Hobart CleanCutTM blade. The slicer is furnished with a cord and plug as standard equipment.
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 right side of the slicer base.
OPERATION SAFETY SAFETY DEVICES INCORPORATED IN THIS SLICER MUST BE IN THEIR CORRECT OPERATING POSITIONS ANYTIME THE SLICER IS IN USE. The TOP KNIFE COVER must be in position and secured with the LATCH KNOB (Fig. 2). The R ING G UARD is not removable. The D EFLECTOR, mounted below the slicer knife, can be removed for cleaning. The MEAT GRIP (Fig. 2) must be used when slicing to keep your hand(s) away from the knife. When the slicer is not running, the INDEX KNOB (Fig.
KEYS (2812PS ONLY) The four Preset keys (1 – 4) recall the last-entered portion mode and value and display the preset indicator (P1, P2, P3, or P4). In WEIGHT mode, the slicer beeps when the preset weight is on the platter. In SLICE mode, the slicer beeps when the preset number of slices has counted down to 0. The Memory key uses the current entry (platter weight, slice count, or numeric entry) as the portion mode and value and displays the M indicator.
POWER UP When the slicer is plugged in, the control checks its own circuitry, goes through a series of illuminated displays, and ends with the scale at zero in weight mode. NET — > 0— < 88000 . lb slice oz M P1 P2 P3 P4 SCALE PLATFORM AND PLATTER ASSEMBLY Proper assembly of the nylon scale platform and stainless steel scale platter is necessary before weighing. To remove the nylon scale platform, grasp opposite corners and lift straight up. Hold the same way to reinstall.
WEIGHT MODE The scale is ready to weigh if the zero indicator is displayed when the platter is empty. Tare is permitted. Once invoked, the Tare value is set for all WEIGHT mode operations: Manual mode, Presets (P1 – P4), and Memory (M). The Tare value can be changed or turned off at any time. If SLICE is displayed, you . can revert back to WEIGHT mode by pressing the MODE key, TARE The scale can tare up to 2 lb (or 1 kg) whenever the scale is in WEIGHT mode. How to set a platter tare . . .
SLICING IN MANUAL MODE . . . without using the Presets (P1 – P4) or the Memory key In Weight Mode . . . Set the Tare, if needed. Set thickness. Slice product. The displayed weight will reflect the platter weight (less Tare, if NET was displayed). When the product is removed from the platter, the display will return to 0.00 lb (or a negative weight will reflect the Tare, if NET was displayed). In Slice Mode . . . . Slice is displayed instead of the WEIGHT mode indicator, lb (or oz).
USING THE PRESETS: P1, P2, P3, P4 Press any Preset key — the last-saved values will be called up. For example, let's press the [ 1 ] Preset key and assume that the factory settings have not been changed. In Weight Mode . . .

SLICING — MODEL 2912 With the Gauge Plate fully closed, pull the Carriage all the way toward you until it reaches its stop. With the Meat Grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on the Carriage Tray. Adjust the fence by loosening the thumb screw and sliding the fence so that it is close to the product but not pushing against it. Tighten the thumb screw. Set the Meat Grip against the product. Always make sure the Lever (Fig. 3) is in the Manual position (down) before starting the slicer.
CLEANING This machine must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each day’s operation or after being idle for an extended period of time. WARNING: THE SLICER KNIFE IS VERY SHARP. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING NEAR THE KNIFE. WARNING: UNPLUG SLICER POWER CORD AND TURN THE INDEX KNOB FULLY CLOCKWISE BEFORE CLEANING THE SLICER. Use a clean cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water to wipe all surfaces of the machine. Rinse using a fresh cloth and clean water.
Do not exceed chemical manufacturer's recommended concentrations for detergent or sanitizer. Do 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.
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. Fig.
LUBRICATION — Carriage Slide Rod and Sharpener Lubricate the Carriage Slide Rod with Lubriplate FMO-200-AW oil (supplied). Either squirt 8 – 10 drops every 2 – 3 months (depending on usage) in the Wick Hole on the Carriage Transport (Fig.12). Or, once monthly, apply 4 – 5 drops directly on the Carriage Slide Rod on each side of the Carriage Transport (Fig.12). To apply oil, pull out the telescoping tube on the oil bottle, aim the tube, and squeeze gently on the sides of the bottle.
