7.- When finished, always turn the machine off by using the switch (14)and
turn the slice adjusting knob (7) clockwise as far as it will go (be sure that
the thickness gauge plate (6) covers the edge of the knife (5) to prevent any
possible accident).
8.- Replace the grip (9) to its stowed position under the carriage (3).
V.- KEY ELEMENTS IN SLICING QUALITY PRODUCT:

with approved mild detergent and water. Do not clean the machine with a water hose. DO
NOT SUBMERGE THE UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.

2.- For cleaning the inside of the sharpener use a small soft brush, and a soft damp cloth, do not use water hose. Remove all food
debris contained in pores of stones.
3.- Dry completely or let air dry.
Note: Never use sharpener box with wet stones. Rods must be lubricated all the time. After knife sharpening, all
components: knife ( 5 ) and stones ( 11 &12 ), should be cleaned and sanitized again.

6
DELI SLICER
After sanitizing, be sure all components are totally dried and clean, reattach again following the previous steps in reverse order.
Note: Before using the slicer, be sure the knife sharpener is in place and secure.
E. INSPECTION
Routinely examine the conditions of seams, seals and gaskets to confirm integrity while the slicer is assembled and before
breaking down for cleaning and sanitizing. Also, look in hard-to-reach áreas for food and liquid accumulations. Remember, proper
inspection may require that components be removed and reattached. See next diagram for inpection points (Fig. 11).
CAUTION!:
Simply wiping down to remove visible debris is not a substitute for thoroughly cleaning
and sanitizing the equipment.
KDS-10 & KDS-12
IMPORTANT!:
The recommended interval between gasket inspections shall not exceed 4 months and
must be performed by authorized service agent. If any gasket or seal is damaged or
missing, the equipment must be removed from service until be repaired. Please contact to
your authorized dealer.

VII.- MAINTENANCE:
1.- Slide rods: you must lubricate the slicer with light oil at least every 100 hours or 3 days of service. The points to lubricate are
upper and bottom sides of round (20)and square sliding rods.
2.- Knife: after certain period of use or if you notice the quality of the sliced meat is not as fine as the first time, you will need to re-
sharpen the knife (5):
A.- Be sure the machine is off.
B.- Loosen the sharpener lock knob (17)under the sharpening assembly, until it springs up (See Fig. 12).
C.- Lift the sharpener assembly and rotate it 180º, reassemble and secure it. Verify that the stones are on each side of the knife (
approx. 1/4" under the edge ), then tighten the knob (17)again.
D.- Turn on the machine and, push the rod " a “, let the stone (11) grind the under side of the knife for a few seconds. This will
sharpen the edge and create a slight burr on the top side of the edge. When you release the rod "a" it will return automatically.
E.- Then with the upper stone (12) remove the burr from the top side of the knife by pushing down rod "b“. Only a very slight
pressure is needed to home the edge. Too much pressure and time can create a reverse angle and destroy knife edge. Rod "b" will
return automatically when released.
F .- Clean and sanitize the equipment (See CLEANING, SANITIZING AND INSPECTING section).
G.- Reassemble in the previous position the sharpener assembly by following the reverse order.
IMPORTANT!:
The time spent in grinding and truing the knife edge will add to longevity of the knife and
provide optimum efficiency of your meat slicer. Repeat steps “D” and “E” if it is
necessary.
