MAINTENANCE KIT HOME LINE PLUS
RESTORING KIT HOME LINE PLUS
Maintenance of your slicer
must be carried out according
to its use. It consists of three
main steps: cleaning, blade
sharpening and lubrication.
Cleaning
Before sharpening, clean the
blade, removing grease resi-
dues with the blade mainte-
nance brush. To keep the blade
functional, we recommend cle-
aning it regularly with sanitiser.
Do not wash the blade in the
dishwasher.
Blade sharpening
The frequency and duration
of sharpening depends on
the use made of it. Follow the
instructions according to the
model indicated for correct
sharpening.
Lubrication
Once the blade has been shar-
pened according to the ma-
nual, spray Berkel spray oil se-
veral times on the bar to keep
the machine’s linear slides in
optimal condition.
The Restoring Kit is designed
to retouch small chips that
occur during use over the ye-
ars.
Before retouching, we recom-
mend cleaning using our clea-
ning kit.
DO NOT use abrasive tools
such as stiff sponges or semi-ri-
gid nylon brushes to clean the
painted areas of the machine.
Do not clean the machine with
jets of water or steam or similar
methods.
After cleaning the painted case
especially, follow the steps be-
low.
1. Shake the marker well from
top to bottom with the cap clo-
sed to allow the ball to homo-
genise the colour inside.
2. Test the marker rst on a she-
et of paper separate from whe-
re you will be using it on the
machine, press the tip several
times to soak it sufciently and
test on the paper to see if the
line is clear. Use a cloth to clean
the tip if there is excess colour.
3. Apply the marker where the
signs of ageing and use have
damaged the paint on your
slicer.
If the ow of colour lessens
while working, shake the mar-
ker again with the cap on to
prevent paint splashes and be-
gin use again.
Wait at least 12 hours befo-
re cleaning the restored area
again.

BASIC MAINTENANCE
Sharpening and lubrication
In order to always achieve a
perfect cut, it is important to
lubricate the joints when ne-
cessary for proper sliding of the
bars and to sharpen the blade
when a less precise cut is en-
countered during use.
Blade sharpening
The frequency and duration
of sharpening depends on
the use made of it. Follow the
instructions according to the
model indicated for correct
sharpening. Clean the blade
before and after sharpening.
Lubrication
Lubrication should be carried
out according to the use of
your slicer. The Berkel 50 ml
oil bottle can be used to carry
out basic maintenance on your
slicer.
Steps:
Pour a few drops of oil on the
bar (1) and in the joint of the
thickness adjustment knob (2).
Pour a few drops of oil into the
holes (3 and 4).
Pour a few drops of oil into the
joint between ywheel and sli-
cer body (5).
Briey operate the ywheel.
Pour a few drops of oil into the
sliding bars of the column arm.
REASSEMBLY
Check that the guard properly
covers the blade (9).
Reset the tray in its position.
Close the slice deector.
Using the ywheel knob, turn
the ywheel (7) to bring the sli-
ding meat table (4) completely
forwards (towards the opera-
tor).
With a vertical movement from
top to bottom, return the sli-
ding meat table to its initial
position.
CAUTION: for some models,
push the meat table to secure
it to the carriage after positio-
ning it. If present, close the le-
ver or tighten the knob on the
meat table.
