Installation, Operation, and Care of

Model 2812PS Slicer with Portion Scale

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

The Hobart Model 2812PS Slicer with Portion Scale displays the weight or slice count as the sliced
product falls to the platter. Four preset values (P1 thru P4) can be programmed with weight or slice
count and are readily accessed for portioning. A memory register (M) allows any current weight or key
entered weight or slice count to be used for portioning. The scale display can Tare to indicate Net
weight but is
available for single-phase electrical service. The slicer features the exclusive Hobart Stay-Sharp
contoured cast solid stainless steel knife. The slicer is furnished with a cord and plug as standard
equipment. Other features and options include:

The Power Interrupt feature, standard, requires the slicer to be manually re-started after a power
interruption.

SLICING — MODEL 2812PS

With the Gauge Plate fully closed, pull the Carriage all the way toward you until it reaches its stop. With
the Meat Grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on the Carriage Tray. Set the Meat Grip
against the product.

If the Meat Grip is not needed, it may be stored out of the way by rotating it behind the top of the Carriage
Tray where it can rest on the Retaining Clip (Fig. 2).

Adjust the Gauge Plate to obtain the desired slice thickness by turning the Index Knob (Fig. 2). The
numbers on the Index Knob do not indicate actual measurements but may be used for reference to
duplicate slice thickness. Turn the slicer on by pulling the Switch Knob (Fig. 2) forward until it starts
and then releasing it. Slicer will not stay on unless the gauge plate is opened first. Unless the Gauge
Plate is opened before pulling the Switch Knob on, the slicer will not continue to run when the Switch
Knob is released.

Use either Carriage Tray Handle (Fig. 2) to push the Carriage back and forth to slice.
Turn the slicer off by pushing the Switch Knob or by closing the Gauge Plate.
To use the optional Food Chute, place the Meat Grip on the Retaining Clip, fit the hangers on the Food

Chute around the meat grip slide rod (at front), and lower the Food Chute onto the Carriage Tray.
