Installation, Operation and Care of
EDGE SERIES SLICER
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The Edge Series 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 nish
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 Edge 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:
1. Carrier must be notied within ve business days of receipt.
2. Carrier’s local terminal must be notied immediately upon discovery (note the time, date, and who
was spoken to), and follow up and conrm with written or electronic communication.
3. All original packing materials must be kept for inspection purposes.
4. The slicer cannot have been moved, installed,
or modied.
5. 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 specications 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 Deector (Fig. 1) should already be mounted
below the knife.

OPERATION
SAFETY
SAFETY DEVICES INCORPORATED IN THIS SLICER MUST BE IN THEIR CORRECT OPERATING
POSITION ANY TIME THE SLICER IS IN USE.
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.
Rotating knife. Unplug machine
power cord before cleaning, servicing or removing
parts. Replace parts before use.

(R) refers to removable part.
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 Switch 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.
Adjust the Gauge Plate to obtain the desired slice thickness by turning the Index Knob (Fig. 2) to vary the
9
slice thickness from paper thin to
/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.
The slicer knife is very sharp. Exercise extreme caution when working near the knife.
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 Deector,
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 Deector:
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 Deector (Fig. 6) by unscrewing the stainless steel knob. Wash, rinse and sanitize the
Knife Cover Knob, Knife Cover, Slice Deector and both sides of the Knife by wiping outward from the
center. Allow to air dry.
Fig. 5 Fig. 6
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 ts the hole in the rim and the hub ts 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.

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.
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.
Fig. 10
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.
