SET-UP
1. After you have removed the Tomato Saber™ from the
carton, inspect the unit for signs of damage. If there is
damage to the unit:
• Notify carrier within 24 hours after delivery.
• Save carton and packing materials for inspection
purposes.
• Contact your Prince Castle dealer for replacement or
the Prince Castle Customer Sales Department at 1-
800-722-7853 if purchased directly.
2. Verify that all parts have been received.
• Tomato Saber™ slicer with Perma-Tight blade
cartridge.
• Tomato Catcher — neatly catches sliced tomato.
• Table Stop Assembly — stabilizes unit for easier
slicing.
3. Place slicer on prep table or flat surface.
TIP: Use the ripest tomatoes first.
OPERATION
IMPORTANT: The Tomato Saber™ is designed to slice
tomatoes only. Using it to slice other products may damage
the slicer and will void the warranty.
1. Grasp handle and pull all the way back to end of
stroke.
2. Insert tomato in front of the Tomato Pusher Assembly
with the core side down. See figure 1.
figure 1
3. Push handle with a quick, firm stroke all the way
through the blades and until the pusher stops. The
tomato will be completely sliced. See figure 2.
figure 2
4. Remove tomato slices from Tomato Catcher.
5. Place tomato slices in a clean, sanitized 1/6 size
tomato pan with false bottom.
6. Save end pieces and any slices with green core centers
(stem) showing. These are used for Fajita products.
7. Place pan in prep table. (Additional pans should be
covered and placed in walk-in cooler. Maximum 3
hour total holding time with no longer than 1 hour in
walk-in, no more than 2 hours at prep table.)
Identify pans stored in walk-in with the 1 hour
“remove from walk-in” time.
CLOSE
Daily cleaning of the tomato slicer will keep this piece of
equipment clean and free from build-up. However, if
residual tomato juice is allowed to remain on the tomato
slicer for long periods, a hard white deposit will form on
the cutting blades which becomes very hard to remove and
will dull the blades.
