On gravity-feed slicers the meat table is steeply angled. • “meat grip” The meat grip is the device that holds the foodstuff in position on the meat table. It is usually attached to the meat table and moves with the foodstuff as it is sliced. • “Last Slice device” This device (where fitted) is usually part of the meat grip and is used to hold small and hard- to-handle stubs of processed foodstuffs (particularly meats) so that they can be sliced to the last slice. • “thickness control” This is the mechanism by which you control the slice thickness, and is usually a large rotary control on the front of the machine. It may or may not be illuminated, depending on the individual slicer. • “sharpener” When we talk about the sharpener, we mean a built-in blade sharpening or grinding device that has a grinding stone and, optionally, a finishing stone. 300IB Belt Drive Series Gravity Slicers Introduction ...

Page 6: Installing The Slicer
1. Make sure that the slicer is switched off by pressing the button at the front of the machine. 2. Ensure that all the supplied guards and blade shields are correctly fitted. 3. Check that the meat table carriage moves easily and that it does not stick at any point along its travel. If the carriage is difficult to move or seems to stick now and then refer to the Maintenance section for instructions on lubrication. 4. Check that the meat grip moves freely along the length of its travel If the meat grip is difficult to move or seems to stick now and then refer to the Maintenance section for instructions on lubrication. 5. Check that the thickness control operates smoothly. Be sure to return it to the zero mark before proceeding. 6. Switch the slicer on by pressing the ON button at the front of the machine. Immediately the thickness control will light up, showing power is on, and the blade will spin in an anti-clock- wise direction. 7. Switch off the machine by pressing the OFF button at the front of the machine. Your slicer is now ready to use. Introduction 300IB Series Belt Drive Gravity Slicers... -
Page 7: Manual Operation
Maintenance section for the correct procedure for blade sharpening. Manual operation Begin using the slicer by returning the thickness control to zero and making sure that the meat tray carriage is pulled to the front of the slicer. 1. Draw the pusher/LSD (5) back from the Slice thickness plate (6) and raise it. 2. Place the product to be sliced on the meat table (4), firmly against the carriage barrier wall closest to the operator, and up against the Slice thickness plate (6). Place the pusher/LSD (5) on top of the product to be sliced. 3. Set the desired thickness of slice using the thickness control (7). 4. Switch the slicer on by pressing the ON button at the front of the machine (1). Immediately the power indicator (3) will light up, showing power is on, and the blade will spin in an anti- clockwise direction. 300IB Belt Drive Series Gravity Slicers Operation ... - Page 8 Operation and Safety Manual ™ 5. Grasp the pusher handle (22) firmly and push the product holder away from you towards the back of the slicer, while pressing the pusher/LSD (5) down onto the product and towards the Thickness plate. Once the slice has been cut, pull the meat table back towards you. 6. Repeat step 5 as often as required to obtain the number of slices needed. 7. When you have finished slicing, make sure that the product holder is pulled to the front of the slicer and switch off the power at the control panel by pressing the OFF button (2) at the front of the machine. Using the Last Slice device Cleanly slicing the last 1 or 2 centimetres of foodstuffs on a slicer without wastage can be difficult. This is particularly the case when slicing packaged foodstuffs with rounded-off ends (or stubs). The Last Slice device overcomes the problem. 1. When the foodstuff is sliced down to the last 1 or 2 centimetres, lift off the pusher/LSD (5) and turn the foodstuff around so that the uncut end of the stub is pressed against the thickness plate (6). 2. Position the pusher/LSD (5) behind the foodstuff so that the spikes of the LSD press into the cut face of the foodstuff. 3. Continue slicing until the remaining foodstuff has been cut.

Page 9: Cleaning The Slicer
1. With the carriage and meat table assembly removed, undo the blade cover securing knob (18) and lift the blade cover (16) straight off the blade. 2. Turn the slice deflector (19) to expose the back of the blade. 3. Clean the centre plate with a warm damp cloth. 4. The blade is now completely exposed. Wearing steel mesh protective gloves, wipe down the blade surfaces (front and back) using a warm, damp cloth. 5. Dry off the blade and lightly smear on some protective oil using the cloth supplied. Make sure that you are still wearing the steel mesh glove. 300IB Belt Drive Series Gravity Slicers cleaning ... -

While pressing down on the centre of the plate push and turn the blade cover securing knob to engage it in the blade cover. Tighten the knob. 8. Replace the meat table and carriage assembly and tighten the securing knob. Make sure that the edge of the meat table sits right up against the blade cover. You may have to push the meat table back to the end of its travel to seat it correctly. The slicer is now clean and ready for use. Cleaning Schedule How frequently the slicer is cleaned will depend on how heavily the machine is used. However, we recommend that you adopt the following cleaning schedule as a MINIMUM requirement to maintain hygiene.
