with caution.
Prior to first use, it is important to clean the unit. Wash new blades with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly to remove the thin protective oil film.

- Before each use, check that the unit is clean and the blades are in good condition. Do not use this equipment if the blades are not in good condition. Contact Vollrath to order a blade assembly.
- Before each use, check for proper blade alignment. Slowly lower the pusher head onto the blade assembly. They should slide together with no obstructions. If there are obstructions, verify they are a matching set. Remove the obstruction.
- Verify that the blade assembly and pusher head assembly are the desired size.

CLEANING
WARNING
Sharp Blade Hazard
Blades are sharp and can cause cuts. To avoid injury from sharp blades, handle
with caution.
To maintain the appearance and increase the service life, clean the equipment
daily.

cutting edge prematurely. Always clean this food preparation equipment
immediately after every use.
- Slide the pusher head assembly off of the guide rods.
- Remove and save the thumb screws securing the blade assembly. Remove the blade assembly.
- The blade assembly is best cleaned by using the cleaning brush accessory (sold separately) to push food particles out from the unsharpened side of the blade assembly.
- If you do not have the cleaning brush, use water under pressure to push food particles out from the unsharpened side of the blade assembly.
- Wash the parts in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Allow the parts to air dry.
- Install the blade assembly so the tabs on the blade assembly slide into the groves of the base assembly.
- Secure the blade assembly to the base using the thumb screws removed earlier.
- Lubricate the guide rods with mineral oil or a food-safe lubricant, such as Petrol-Gel after each use.
NOTICE: Do not use cooking oil as it will become sticky and may permanently damage the equipment.
