Food carriage
To remove the food carriage, set the thickness control knob to 0,
slide the carriage control button to the "Remove" position (Fig. 5).
Slide carriage away from blade until it comes off its track. Clean
carriage guide and lubricate lightly with a few drosp of acid-free
light household oil such as sewing machine oil (Fig. 6).
Stainless steel blade
To remove the cutting blade, insert a coin in the slot of the blade
fastening screw (11) and turn the screw clockwise until the blade
retaining screw is fully removed (Fig. 7). Carefully lift the blade
off. Do not touch the blade edge. Clean the cutting blade and the
motor housing behind it with a clean damp cloth. Lubricate the
blade support posts and the drive gear shown in Figure 8 with
Vaseline. To replace, carefully align the blade on its hub so the
blade and drive gears fully engage. Turn blade fastening screw
counterclockwise to tighten. (Do not over-tighten). CAREFUL!
SHARP BLADE!
Thickness guide plate
You can, if you wish, remove the thickness guide plate for cleaning.
NOTE: To reduce the risk of injury, always remove the blade
before removing the thickness guide plate.
To remove the thickness guide plate, turn the thickness control
knob counterclockwise, past "0" to the "PLATE RELEASE" position.
Pull the thickness guide plate off the slicer (Fig. 9). After cleaning
this plate, lightly lubricate the two steel rods with Vaseline.
To reattach the thickness guide plate, insert the two steel rods
into the holes provided on the carriage track. Make sure the
thickness control knob is aligned with the "PLATE RELEASE"
position. Now push the guide plate fully into its position and turn
the knob clockwise to the "0" position.
Rubber Feet
Clean with grease-removing cleaner, such as alcohol.
Slice deflector
The Model 615A is equipped with a detachable slice deflector (item #9, see page 4) to insure smooth
deflection of each slice onto the tray. This can be removed for cleaning. Always first remove the slicer
blade and thickness control plate as shown in Figures 7, 8 and 9, before removing deflector. Grasp the
blade deflector with thumb and forefinger and pull it out. It should snap off easily. Always reinstall before
installing the blade or thickness control plate.
