This can cause formation of aluminum oxide (black). DO NOT USE steel wool or sharp objects for cleaning machine surfaces if they become discolored; scratched surfaces become hard to keep clean. Do not leave the cutting blades in a wet condition when not in use. Never clean the machine with a high pressure hose, with steam injection equipment, or in a dishwasher. Always store the cutting tools on the wall racks for safe handling and easy access. 1. Remove pestle; rinse in lukewarm water. 2. Remove the pusher plate and then the feed cylinder; rinse in lukewarm water. 3. Remove the cutting tool. 4. If you have used a dicing grid, before removing, push the remaining leftovers through the TOP of the dicing grid with the nylon brush. Pushing the leftovers through from the underside of the dicing grid may damage the grid. 5. Remove the dicing grid and ejector plate; rinse in lukewarm water. 6. Wipe the knife chamber with a clean damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean dry cloth. 7. Return the cutting tools to the wall rack. Lower the ejector plate onto the knife shaft. Press all the way down and turn until the plate is in the locked position. 8. Replace the feed cylinder and the pusher plate. – 8 – CUTTING TOOL GUIDE Fractional sizes are in inches (millimeters are in parentheses). Slicers Use Fine and Standard Slicers for sliced products and for dicing. Soft products like tomato - use the FINE SLICER, not the STANDARD SLICER. FINE SLICER 1.16 (1.5 mm) FINE SLICER 1.8 (3 mm) FINE SLICER 5.32 (4 mm) PL-51799-2 FINE SLICER FINE SLICER 7.32 (6 mm) 3.8 (10 mm) STANDARD SLICER FINE SLICER 3.8 (10 mm) HD 9.16 (14 mm) Slices firm materials. Use with 3.8" (10 mm) dicing grid. When used with dicing grid, use PL-51799-1 only the 3.4" (20 mm) dicing grid.

Routinely inspect the machine to make sure that it is in proper working order. Plates must be clean, intact and sharp. The knife shaft should be regularly lubricated with a drop of mineral oil, NOT COOKING OIL. REPLACEMENT DICING GRIDS Depending on usage, dicing grids become dull from wear with an average life expectancy from 8 – 18 months. Dicing grids cannot be resharpened and are therefore expendable. Replacement dicing grids are available from your local Hobart Service office. TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED ACTION Machine will not start. A. B. C. D. E. Feed cylinder not locked in correct position. Pusher plate or feed cylinder not in proper operating position. Pusher plate swung out beside feed cylinder. Fuse or circuit breaker interrupting power. Broken wire or connection. Make sure feed cylinger is locked correctly. Fit pusher plate into proper operating position. Swing pusher plate into feed cylinder center. Check for blown fuses or fuses with wrong amperage. Pull electrical cord from receptacle and call your local Hobart Service Office. Machine stops while operating and won't restar...
