To prevent illness or death caused by the spread of food-borne pathogens, it is important to properly clean and sanitize the entire slicer as any surface of the slicer can become contaminated. It is the responsibility of the slicer owner/operator to follow all guidelines, instructions, and laws as established by your local and state health departments and the manufacturers of chemical sanitizers.

Once your slicer makes contact with food products, the entire slicer, including removable parts, must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. This process is to be repeated at least every 4 hours using these procedures and information and must comply with additional laws from your state and local health departments.

As with all food contact surfaces, it is extremely important to properly sanitize the entire slicer and to closely follow the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer container to make sure proper sanitation is achieved to kill potentially harmful bacteria.

Note: It may be desirable to wear cut-proof safety gloves during the cleaning operation.
IMPORTANT: If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine, or quaternary ammonium is used, it must be applied in accordance with the EPA- registered label use instructions. Excessive amounts of sanitizer and use of products not formulated for stainless steel or aluminum may VOID your warranty.
Sanitizer concentration must comply with section 4-501.114, Manual and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization – Temperature, pH, Concentration, and  Hardness of the FDA Food Code.
For more information on proper kitchen and equipment sanitation, visit www.servsafe.com provided by the National Restaurant Association (NRA).

• DO NOT hose down, pressure wash, or pour water on the slicer.
• NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool, or abrasive material to clean the slicer.
• ALWAYS turn the slicer OFF and unplug the power cord BEFORE cleaning.
• It is extremely important to follow the instructions on the sanitizer container to make sure proper sanitation is achieved. Allow the parts to air dry before placing them back on the slicer!

DO NOT use bleach, products containing sodium hypochlorite, or other caustic/strong detergents on slicer base or removable parts. These products will discolor and destroy the parts.
Slicer components are easily disassembled without the use of special tools. It may be desirable to wear cut-proof safety gloves during the cleaning operation.

Inspections, Simple Maintenance, and Repair

SHARP KNIFE BLADE
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:

• NEVER touch slicer before reading and completely understanding everything in this instruction manual. You must be at least 18 years old and have had proper training and  authorization from your supervisor.
• BEFORE CLEANING, SERVICING, OR REMOVING ANY PARTS always turn OFF and unplug slicer and turn slice thickness dial clockwise past zero (0) until it stops.

INSPECTING THE SLICER
INSPECT THE SLICER FOR DAMAGED OR BROKEN PARTS INCLUDING GASKETS & SEALS. A thorough visual inspection should be made of the entire slicer and  its parts. Globe urges the owner/operator to inspect all components often and for an authorized service agent to inspect the entire slicer at least every 6 months, including  all parts that are detachable for cleaning and sanitizing. This inspection should include looking for damaged parts, broken seals or gaskets, and areas that may be more difficult to  clean and sanitize.

IF A SEAL OR GASKET IS FOUND TO NOT PROPERLY SEAL, IS DAMAGED OR IS MISSING, THE SLICER MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL IT  IS REPAIRED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

SLICER INSPECTION
Slicer Seals and Gaskets Identified

LUBRICATION
Various slicer parts need to be lubricated periodically using Globe oil. Globe oil is a light, tasteless, odorless mineral oil that will not contaminate or impart odors or taste to  sliced food products.

DO NOT USE VEGETABLE OIL COOKING SPRAY TO LUBRICATE SLICER. VEGETABLE OIL WILL DAMAGE THE SLICER!

Sharpener and Shafts
In addition to cleaning the sharpener stones, it is suggested that the sharpener shafts be lubricated with Globe oil on a regular basis.

2. Apply several drops of Globe oil to the exposed shaft of both stones (Fig. 22-2).

3. Push the sharpener handle several times to distribute the oil onto shafts.

4. Replace sharpener to its stored position on the slicer.

5. Wipe off any excess oil that drips onto slicer.
   Note: The knife sharpener and stones can be cleaned with warm water and a brush. Allow to air dry. If the knife sharpener or stones are cleaned, it is very important that all  sharpener shafts are lubricated with Globe oil afterwards!

End Weight Slide Rod
The end weight slide rod should be lubricated with a few drops of Globe oil, every week or when excessive drag is felt.

1. Apply a few drops of Globe oil to end weight slide rod (Fig. 22-3).
2. Slide end weight up and down to distribute oil.
3. Wipe off any excess oil that drips onto slicer.
