The slicer features the Hobart CleanCutTM 13" diameter contoured stainless steel knife. The slicer is furnished with a cord and plug as standard equipment. The model 3713 slicer features automatic slicing with a choice of three speeds for the PRODUCT TRAY (Fig. 1). ACCESSORIES & OPTIONS • Fences — Each fence clamps on the PRODUCT TRAY to limit product movement during slicing. Two fences are available. The Full Fence is suitable for all products. The End Fence is for meat or cheese loaves. • Food Chute — Clamps on the PRODUCT TRAY to limit movement of product during slicing (for tomatoes, onions or similar items). • Knife Removal Tool — Allows the KNIFE to be removed from the motor hub. After removal, the KNIFE remains attached to the KNIFE REMOVAL TOOL while the KNIFE is being cleaned in a sink or dishwasher. After the removed KNIFE is cleaned, the KNIFE REMOVAL TOOL is used to reattach the KNIFE to the motor hub on the slicer. Refer to pages 10 – 11 for additional information. • Deflector — Assists in deflecting sliced product to the platter during slicing. The DEFLECTOR (Fig. 16) fits on the DEFLECTOR BRACKET located on the SHARPENER MOUNT. • 4" Leg Set — Raises the height of the slicer for use on some deli carts. To install: Remove the slicer feet (two adjacent feet at a time) by unscrewing them. Reinstall the slicer feet on the bottom of the 4" legs. Install a leg with foot in the two adjacent corners of the slicer base where the slicer feet were removed. Use the same process for the next two adjacent feet. There are three alternate corner locations that can be used for the legs / feet in case the table does not permit use of the standard corners. Assure proper stability by using only one alternate location for any corner. – 3 – INSTALLATION UNPACKING Immediately after unpacking the slicer, check for possible shipping damage. If the slicer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery. Prior to installing the slicer, test the electrical service to assure it agrees with the specifications on the machine data plate. The data plate is located on the left side of the slicer base.
