General Installation And Operation

Instructions:
The Avantco Auto/Manual slicer is a medium duty electrically driven appliance. The unit has been designed to meet the highest safety and hygiene standards. The robust aluminum construction and powerful drive motors ensure long and reliable operation and use.

1. Place the unit in the desired location with the on/off switch facing the operator. DO NOT plug the unit in at this point. The supporting table should be stable and at the correct working height. The work surface should be in a dry location and preferably away from heavy traffic areas.
2.  Clean the unit with a DAMP cloth using a neutral P.H. dish detergent. Wipe and dry the machine. (See Cleaning in-structions on page 3 of this manual. Cut through the greasiest dishes, glassware, cutlery, pots, and pans with Sunbright pot and pan dishwashing liquid. This heavy-duty pot and pan dishwashing liquid was specially designed for the institutional environment with its super concentrated, high active, high sudsing formula. Available in 32 oz. bottles (12/case) or 5 gallon bulk supply.
3.  Set the thickness of slice required using the control knob adjacent to the on/off switch.
4.  The meat support platform should be in the start position that is close to the operator. Lift up the food pusher; place the meat to be sliced on the support platform against the raw edge. Return the food pusher to its original position now on top of the meat to be sliced.
5.  Switch on the motor and using the handle on the food pusher, push the carriage back and forth to begin cutting the food.
6.  After you are finished cutting, turn off machine and collect the product slices in the exit area.
7.  Please Note: The blade-sharpening device is NOT factory fitted on MODELS SL310, SL312 SL512 AND SL713MAN. To fit, follow the procedure below.
   •  Fit the sharpening device in the socket provided, ensuring the grinding stones are positioned at the rear of the machine.
   •  Tighten the safety locking screw.
     To replace the belt, please remove the knife and motor, then remove belt through the hole under the knife. Then, install the new belt and reassemble.

Safety

1.  The units are designed to operate an alternating current (A.C) only. DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (D.C).
2.  Please ensure that the power supply cord does not come into contact with hot surfaces.
3.  If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a new cord assembly. (Available from the suppliers agent.)
4.  The appliance must only be used for its intended purpose.
5.  I t is strongly suggested that the operators of this machine wear close fitting clothes. It is essential when blade maintenance or cleaning is undertaken that suitable hand protection gloves are used.
6.  ALWAYS unplug the slicer before undertaking cleaning or maintenance of the unit.
7.  These machines must be operated by trained personnel and should never be used by unskilled operators or children.
8.  The blade must be replaced when it has reduced in size by 5mm.

LubriQuik food grade silicone spray lubricant is ideal for use on virtually any equip-ment or machinery that makes contact with food, such as slicers, conveyor sys-tems, bottling and canning machinery, bakery equipment, and dairy equipment.

Blade Sharpening

1.  This operation should be undertaken if the cutting blade becomes dull. It should be noted that the blade is made from hardened material and under normal use should only need sharpening once a year.
2.  Unplug the unit.
3. Ensure that the slice thickness knob is in the ‘0’ position.
4.  CAREFULLY clean the part of the blade to be sharpened.
5.  Unlock the sharpening device using the safety locking screw. Lift up the sharpening assembly and rotate it 180° so that both grinding wheels are in the correct position. Lower the sharpening device and lock in position.
6.  Plug in the machine and switch on.
7.  Using the button at the rear of the sharpening unit, push the stone against the rotating blade for approximately 30 seconds.
8.  After sharpening, it is important to remove the grinding wheel from the blade by letting go of the push button on the front of the sharpening device. Run the slicer for 2-3 seconds after letting go of this button.
9.  Return the sharpening device to its original position by unlocking the safety screw and rotating by 180°.

Cleaning

1.  It is essential to follow all the safety instructions at all times.

2.  Make sure that the unit is unplugged before cleaning.

3.  The unit should never be immersed in water.

4.  Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents to clean this machine. Clean with a damp cloth.
   REMEMBER! The blade is extremely sharp and for safety, ensure that the slice thickness knob is in the ‘0’ position.

5.  After cleaning, wipe the appliance with a dry cloth and allow the unit to dry completely before reuse.

6.  If the operation of the food carriage is not smooth, lay the machine on its side, clean the slide bar and lubricate with a food safe lubricant, like Lubriquik .

Cleaning and Sanitizing:

1.  Turn the slicer off and unplug.
2.  Turn the thickness control knob all the way to the right.
3. Remove the product table locking knob, and then remove the product table.
4. Remove Slicer Deflector that is over the knife.
5. Clean all removed parts, slicer knife and base with hot water and detergent.
6. Rinse with hot water and sanitize.
7.  Reassemble slicer
