Cleaning & Sanitizing

TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO SLICER OPERATOR AND CUSTOMERS:

• BEFORE CLEANING, SHARPENING, SERVICING OR REMOVING ANY PARTS, always turn slicer off, turn the slice thickness dial clockwise until it stops, and unplug the power cord.
• NEVER attempt to clean slicer with the knife running.
• NEVER attempt to remove the knife from slicer.  It must remain on the slicer for proper operation, sharpening and cleaning.

Warning

• 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 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 the 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 can 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 can VOID your warranty. 
Caution 

• DO NOT hose down, pressure wash, or pour water on slicer.
• NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool, or abrasive material to clean slicer.
• ALWAYS turn slicer OFF and unplug the power cord BEFORE cleaning.
• 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 the slicer

DO NOT use bleach, products containing sodium hypochlorite or other caustic/strong detergents on the 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 can be desirable to wear non-cutting safety gloves during the cleaning operation.
