TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE TO MACHINE:
•BEFORE CLEANING, SERVICING, OR REMOVING COMPONENTS, always turn the
slicer off and disconnect the motor unit from the power outlet.
•DO NOT attempt to clean while the slicer is in operation.
•DO NOT immerse the motor unit in water.
•DO NOT PRESSURE WASH, SPRAY DOWN, OR POUR WATER onto the slicer.
•DO NOT use products that contain sodium hypochlorite (bleach) on the slicer.
•DO NOT use ABRASIVE MATERIAL such as SCRUBBER PAD, or STEEL WOOL to
clean the machine. This will scratch the polished surface of the stainless steel.
•ALWAYS FOLLOW the directions on the sanitizer container or those provided by the vendor.
Allow the parts to air dry, or wipe dry before placing them back in the slicer.
•To prevent illness or death caused by food-borne disease, bacteria, and pathogens, it is
important to clean and sanitize the entire slicer on a regular basis as any component of the slicer
can get contaminated during use. You are responsible for adhering to all guidelines and
laws established by local municipal and/or state health departments to prevent
contamination of the machine and the processed food.
It is critical to properly CLEAN THE ENTIRE MACHINE and follow the instructions very
carefully on your sanitizer container to properly kill harmful bacteria and pathogens.
Chlorine, iodine or quaternary ammonium are common sanitizers safe to use.
IMPORTANT: Use of cleaning solutions NOT DESIGNATED for stainless steel or using
excessive amounts of sanitizer will cause damage to machine not covered by warranty. To
understand proper sanitizer concentration, thoroughly read the FDA FOOD CODE: section 4-
501.114, Manual and Mechanical Ware Washing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization -
Temperature, pH, Concentration, and Hardness.
