Cleaning
3. The slice deflector can be removed by unscrewing the screw knobs #1 (Fig. 10-1).
BE ALERT. The next steps will expose the knife.
4. Remove the knife cover by rotating the knife cover release knob #2 (Fig. 10-1)
counterclockwise until it comes completely out. While holding the knobs on the
knife cover, carefully lift the knife cover straight up away from the blade.
NOTE: The slicer will not start with the knife cover removed (GC12D only).
5. Take the food chute and knife cover back to a three compartment sink.
Soak, clean, and scrub the food chute and knife cover using a mild detergent and
warm water solution. Following the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer, soak the
food chute and knife cover in a proper solution of quaternary sanitizer.
Allow the parts to air dry before reassembling!
ALWAYS turn slicer off and unplug power cord BEFORE cleaning.
6. To clean the knife, soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm water
solution. Ring out excess water from cloth. Carefully wash and rinse the top
and bottom (underside) of the knife by wiping from the center of the knife
outward (Fig. 10-2).
DO NOT allow moisture to get into knife hub.
7. To clean the slicer table, soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent and warm water solution.
With the slicer table completely closed, wipe the slicer table off by starting at the knife and
pulling towards you. Never wipe the slicer table towards the knife.
8. Soak a clean cloth in a mild detergent/warm water solution and finishing cleaning and wiping
down the entire slicer.
9. Spray both sides of the knife, slicer table, and the entire slicer with a non-bleach, non-chlorine sanitizer
following the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer container to ensure proper sanitation is achieved.
Allow the parts to air dry before reassembling!
REASSEMBLY

knob securely to prevent any “play” between the food chute and the chute arm.
3. Plug in power cord.
