CLEAN AND SANITIZE THE SLICER (CONTINUED)
Clean the Slicer
NOTICE: Do not clean the equipment with abrasive materials or
scratching cleansers. These can damage the finish. Clean
the slicer with only water, a mild detergent and sanitizing
solution.
NOTICE: Hand-wash only.
NOTICE: Do NOT soak the sharpening assembly.
NOTICE: Do NOT wash the sharpening stones. Wet stones will not
properly sharpen the blade and will need to be replaced.
1. Wash the removable parts in a clean basin filled with a solution of
clean warm water and mild detergent.
2. Rinse the parts with clean warm water.
3. Use a soft cloth, clean warm water and a mild detergent to clean the
non-removable parts of the slicer:
• The front and back sides of the blade. Start at the center of blade
and wipe toward the edge.
• Blade guard. From the backside of the blade guard, carefully wipe
the inside edge of the guard.
• Gauge plate. Start at the blade and wipe outward.
4. Body of the slicer.
5. Rinse the non-removable parts of the slicer with clean warm water.

Sanitize the Slicer
NOTICE: The sanitizer concentration shall comply with Section
4-501.114, Manual and Mechanical Warewashing
Equipment, Chemical Sanitization – Temperature, pH,
Concentration, and Hardness of the FDA Food Code.
NOTICE: If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine or
quaternary ammonium is used, it shall be applied in
accordance with the EPA registered label use instruction.
1. Wash your hands.
2. Soak the removable parts in a clean basin or sink, in a solution of
clean warm water and correctly-diluted sanitizing solution.
NOTICE: Do NOT soak the sharpener assembly. Wet stones will
not properly sharpen the blade and will need to be
replaced.
3. Remove the parts from the basin and allow them to air dry. Do not
rinse or wipe the sanitizer off of the parts.
4. Moisten a soft clean cloth with correctly-diluted sanitizing solution.
5. Use the cloth to sanitize the non-removable parts and the body of
the slicer. See Step 3 under "Clean the Slicer." Do not rinse or wipe
the sanitizer off of the parts.
Reassemble the Slicer
1. Install the slice guard.
2. Position the blade cover so the cover knob is at the bottom, as
shown below. Install the blade cover knob and secure the blade
cover.
3. Install the carriage tray and tighten the carriage release knob.
NOTICE: Tighten the carriage release knob until it will no longer
turn. Under-tightening could cause the carriage to wiggle
and damage the gauge plate or body of the slicer.
4. Install the product grip handle.
5. Install the blade sharpening assembly.
6. Lubricate the gauge plate slide with the oil supplied with the slicer or
with a food-grade lubricant.
Inspect the Slicer
• Inspect the slicer for correct assembly.
• Verify the carriage release knob is fully tight and the carriage tray
does not wobble. Gently move the carriage to verify the carriage
release pin is fully retracted and does rub against the slicer body.
• Verify the slicer is in good working condition.
• Do not use the slicer if it is not in good working condition. Contact
authorized Vollrath service agency to service the slicer.
