2 Cleaning
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and dry the floor if
shortening, water, or other materials that
spill. Materials spilled on the floor can
cause serious injury or loss of life.
WARNING
To avoid electrocuting yourself or
damaging the machine, never allow water,
steam, shortening, cleaning solution, or any
other liquid to enter the control box or the
cutter head assembly.
Cleaning the Hopper and
the Plunger
General guidelines:
• Use household dishwashing detergent.
Do not use strong alkali cleaners such as
lye, soda ash, or trisodium phosphate, as
these discolor and corrode aluminum.
• Wash, dry, and lubricate parts
thoroughly to prevent rusting.
• When washing parts by hand, wash each
part separately; do not put any other
utensil or dish in the sink with the part
being washed.
To clean the hopper and the plunger:
1. Unplug the cutter head power cord.
2. Remove the plunger and the hopper. To do
so, reverse the procedures found in Steps 2
and 3 of “Assembling the Cutter” in
Section 1 of the Technical Supplement.
3. Pre-soak the parts, if necessary, to loosen
stubborn or dried-on deposits.
4. Wash the hopper and the plunger separately
in hot water and a detergent recommended
for aluminum. Use a non-scratching plastic
scouring cloth to remove soil and restore
luster.
5. Rinse the hopper and the plunger separately
in clear, hot water (170 °-190°F/77°-88°C).
6. Dry each part completely.
7. Dip the plunger and the hopper cylinder in
mineral oil or liquid shortening to prevent
rust and sticking.
8. Wipe the cutter head assembly with a soft
cloth dampened with hot water and an
appropriate cleaner. Wipe it with another
damp cloth to remove the cleaner. Wipe it
dry.
CAUTION
To avoid electrocuting yourself or
damaging the machine, never immerse the
cutter head assembly.
