Installation, Operation and Care of
CENTERLINE BY HOBART AUTOMATIC SLICER
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The Centerline by Hobart Automatic slicer is equipped with a 1/2 Hp. motor.
The slicer Knife is chrome-plated forged carbon steel. The Slicer Base,
Product Tray, Knife Cover, Ring Guard, and Gauge Plate are made of smooth
finish anodized cast aluminum for easy cleaning. The rear-mounted Meat Grip is
hinged on a rod with extension behind the Product Tray. The top-mounted knife
Sharpener is removable for cleaning.
A cord and plug is furnished as standard equipment.
The slicer must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and sanitized after installation
and before being used. Refer to CLEANING on page 5.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
The slicer was inspected before leaving the factory. The carrier assumes full
responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Check for
possible shipping damage immediately after receipt.
If the slicer is found to be damaged, complete the following steps:
- Carrier must be notified within five business days of receipt.
- Carrier’s local terminal must be notified immediately upon discovery (note the time, date, and who was spoken to), and follow up and confirm with written or electronic communication.
- All original packing materials must be kept for inspection purposes.
- The slicer cannot have been moved, installed, or modified.
- Notify Hobart customer care at 800-333-7447.
Prior to installing the slicer, test the electrical service to make sure that
it agrees with the specifications on the machine data plate. The data plate is
located on the right side of the slicer base.
The Product Tray is secured to the slicer by turning the Knob (Fig. 2) below
the Product Tray clockwise until snug.
Mount the Sharpener on top of the slicer (Fig. 1) by lowering it onto its
post. The Sharpener can be removed for cleaning.
The Slice Deflector (Fig. 1) should already be mounted below the knife.
ELECTRICAL
This machine comes with a three-prong grounding plug. The outlet to which this
plug is connected must be properly grounded. If the receptacle is not the
proper grounding type, contact an electrician.

OPERATION
SAFETY
SAFETY DEVICES INCORPORATED IN THIS SLICER MUST BE IN THEIR CORRECT OPERATING
POSITION ANY TIME THE SLICER IS IN USE.
The Slicer features one speed, one stroke automatic slicing.
The Knife Cover should already be secured in place with the Knife Cover Knob
on the left side tightened clockwise (Fig. 1). The Ring Guard is not
removable.
The Meat Grip (Fig. 4) helps secure product in position and must be used when
slicing short ends to keep your hand(s) away from the knife.
When the slicer is not running, the Index Knob (Fig. 2) must be turned fully
clockwise so the Gauge Plate covers the Knife edge.
Always UNPLUG the Power Cord before cleaning or moving the Slicer.
WARNING Rotating knife. Unplug machine power cord before cleaning, servicing or removing parts. Replace parts before use.
SLICING
With the Gauge Plate fully closed, pull the Product Tray forward until it
stops. With the Meat Grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on
the Product Tray. Set the Meat Grip against the product. Turn the slicer on
by pressing the Blade Power Switch ON (Fig. 2).
To operate slicer in automatic mode, change lever to automatic position at 9
o’clock. Turn the slicer on by pressing the Blade Power Switch ON (Fig. 2),
then press the Automatic Power Button ON (Fig. 2).
If the Meat Grip is not needed, store it out of the way by lifting it to the
top of the Meat Grip Rod and rotating it 270° behind the Product Tray. Allow
it to rest on the small notch of the upper Product Tray slot.
NOTE: The OFF button can be pressed to stop the slicer. The Product Tray
will stop moving immediately.
Adjust the Gauge Plate to obtain the desired slice thickness by turning the
Index Knob (Fig. 2) to vary the slice thickness from paper thin to 9/16″
thick. Use the Carriage Handle (Fig. 2) to move the carriage back and forth
to slice.
CLEANING
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
Thoroughly clean, rinse and sanitize the slicer after each day’s use or after
being idle for an extended time.
WARNING The slicer knife is very sharp. Exercise extreme caution when
working near the knife.
WARNING Unplug the machine power cord and turn index knob fully
clockwise to close the gauge plate before cleaning the slicer.
NOTE: Sanitizer concentration shall comply with Section 4-501.114, Manual
and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitation – Temperature, pH,
Concentration, and Hardness of the FDA Food Code.
If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine, or quaternary ammonium is
used, it shall be applied in accordance with the EPA-registered label use
instructions.
Cleaning Surface and Parts
Frequency: The slicer shall be cleaned and sanitized at intervals to comply
with national, state and/or local health codes.
Disassemble all removable slicer parts including Product Tray, Meat Grip, Meat
Grip Rod, Slice Deflector, Knife Cover, Knife Cover Knob, and Sharpening Stone
(See Fig. 1 and 2). Wash all surfaces of the machine with warm soapy water, a
towel and mild detergent. Also, wash surfaces where food or liquid can
accumulate or where there is frequent hand contact including handles, knobs
and the control panel. Use generous amounts of soapy water on the sharpener
hardware and knife hub. Clean all removable parts with water, a towel and
mild detergent (refer to Page 7). Rinse with water and clean towel. Sanitize
and let air dry.
- Excessive amounts of sanitizer and use of products not formulated for aluminum may void your Hobart warranty.
- DO NOT wash any slicer components in a dishwasher.
- DO NOT hose down slicer or splash excessively with water.
- Use ONLY products formulated to be safe on stainless steel or aluminum.
- DO NOT exceed chemical manufacturer’s recommended concentrations for detergent or sanitizer.
- DO NOT clean any parts of the slicer with a steel pad.
Cleaning Meat Grip and Product Tray
Turn Index Knob fully clockwise until Gauge Plate is in closed position. Pull
Product Tray to home position.
Unscrew knob on Product Tray and lift to remove (Fig. 3). Unscrew Meat Grip
Knob in order to extract Meat Grip Rod from the Product Tray (Fig. 4). Set
aside rod and Meat Grip. Wash surface area, Product Tray, Meat Grip and Meat
Grip Rod with water, a towel and mild detergent. Rinse, sanitize and let air
dry. To replace the Product Tray, lower the tray onto the carriage and
tighten the knob clockwise until snug. Thread Meat Grip Rod into Product Tray
extension and then insert into Meat Grip. Tighten rod clockwise until snug.
Cleaning Knife and Slice Deflector
With Meat Grip and Product Tray removed, turn Index Knob fully closed. Unscrew
the Knife Cover Knob (Fig. 5). Push the knob to remove Knife Cover. Remove
both the Knife Cover and the Knife Cover Knob.
Remove the Slice Deflector (Fig. 6) by sliding deflector downward to elongated
slots. Wash, rinse and sanitize the Knife Cover Knob, Knife Cover, Slice
Deflector and both sides of the Knife by wiping outward from the center.
Allow to air dry.
Cleaning Ring Guard
Work a moistened paper towel between the Ring Guard and Knife. Insert the
towel at the base of the Ring Guard (Fig. 7). Manually rotate the Knife to
wipe Ring Guard and the edge of Guard Plate.
To replace the Knife Cover, insert the Knife Cover Knob into its hole (lower
left side) and position the Knife Cover over the center hole so the guide pin
fits the hole in the rim and the hub fits the center hole.
Tighten the Knife Cover Knob (Fig. 5) so the threads at the end of the rod
screw into the threaded hub underneath the Knife Cover.
Cleaning Sharpening Stone
Each time the Sharpener is used, the sharpening stones should be examined for
cleanliness. Scrub stones with a stiff bristle brush. Rinse with clean water
and sanitize.
Reassemble the Sharpener by lowering it onto the sharpener post (Fig. 8).
NOTE: Do not exceed chemical manufacturer’s recommended concentrations
for detergent or sanitizer.
Do not exceed 200 parts per million concentration of available chlorine (1
tablespoon of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite bleach with 1 gallon of water).
Concentrations greater than 200 ppm accelerate corrosion of metals. Maximum
exposure to sanitizing solution varies with temperature and concentration.
Rinse with clean water.
NOTE: Failure to follow use, care and maintenance instructions may void
your Hobart warranty.
GASKET INSPECTION (FIG. 9)
The recommended interval between inspections shall not exceed six months for
components that are detached for cleaning and sanitizing (all the gaskets in
the images).
The inspections must be made by the manufacturer or its authorized service
agent.
WARNING The slicer must be removed from service until repaired by the manufacturer or its authorized service agent if any gasket or seal is found to be damaged, or missing.
MAINTENANCE
KNIFE SHARPENING
The Knife will provide long service in normal food store or kitchen use.
However, in high volume applications where it is a practice to sharpen the
Knife frequently or even daily, the Knife will be expended in a shorter time.
Sharpen only when necessary. Prolonged or sharpening too frequently results in
unnecessary knife wear.
WARNING Unplug machine power cord.
Turn the Index Knob fully clockwise to close the Gauge Plate. Remove the Knife
Cover by unscrewing the Knob and lifting it off the slicer.
Turn the slicer ON. Pull the Sharpener Handle (Fig. 10) forward for 15 seconds
and release. Turn the slicer off. Unplug machine power cord. Clean and
sanitize the slicer as outlined in the cleaning section after sharpening the
Knife. Replace the Knife Cover.
LUBRICATION
Maintain smooth slicing by applying a few drops of mineral oil on the Carriage
Slide Rod underneath the slicer base. Do not use vegetable oil.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse blown.
SERVICE
Contact your local Hobart-authorized service office for any repairs or
adjustments needed on this equipment.
