Installation, Operation and Care of MODEL 3613, 3613N, 3713 & 3713N SLICERS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The model 3613, 3613N, 3713 and 3713N slicers are equipped with a 1⁄2 hp motor and are available for single-phase electrical service. The slicer features the Hobart CleanCut tm 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 — The fence clamps on the Product Tray to limit product movement during slicing. • 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 (3613 and 3713) 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.

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. PRODUCT TRAY The Product Tray (Fig. 1) must be installed. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 PRODUCT TRAY TILTED TO THE RIGHT KNOB SUPPORT ARM To remove the Product Tray, pull the carriage home.

FORM 35218 Rev. A (June 2009) MAINTENANCE Unplug the machine power cord and turn the index knob fully clockwise to close the gauge plate before doing any maintenance on the slicer. KNIFE SHARPENING The CleanCuttm Knife will provide long service in normal food retail or commercial kitchen use. Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in unnecessary Knife wear. The Sharpen Knife indicator light (Fig. 9 or Fig. 10) will come on after a factory-preset number of slicing strokes to indicate when sharpening is needed. This number has been set to represent a typical operation. Your operation may need more frequent sharpening. Remove the Top Knife Cover and the plastic Ring Guard Cover. Turn the Latch Knob counterclockwise and lift the Top Knife Cover and plastic Ring Guard Cover off the slicer (Figs. 5, 6 & 7). Thoroughly wash around the Knife and both sides of the outer rim of the Knife. Food debris should not be allowed to transfer from the Knife to the Sharpener. Plug in the machine power cord. When Sharpen Knife indicator light is on, press and hold the Sharpen Knife button (Fig. 9 or Fig. 10) with your right hand while pulling the Sharpener Lever fully forward with your left hand (Fig. 29). The Knife comes on, sharpens for 15 seconds and shuts off. Release the Sharpener Lever. The stroke counter will automatically reset and the indicator light will turn off. To sharpen before the Sharpen Knife indicator light illuminates: Follow the directions above, but instead of turning on the motor with the Sharpen Knife button, press the On button for 15 seconds. Then, release the Sharpener Lever and press the Off button. Unplug the Slicer power cord. Wipe the slicer with a clean damp cloth to remove any grinding particles. Reinstall the plastic Ring Guard Cover and the Top Knife Cover. LUBRICATION — Carriage Slide Rod The slicer lubrication system requires that the reservoirs under the Carriage Transport be refilled with Lubriplate FMO-200-AW oil (not supplied) after approximately 1 year of operation for a manual slicer (model 3613/3613N) and after approximately 6 months of operation on an automatic slicer (model 3713/3713N). Typical operation is estimated to be 2 hours of slicing per day. To check reservoir levels, look through the Carriage Slot (Fig. 7) to observe the oil level relative to the red line on the Clear Reservoirs under the Carriage Transport (Fig. 30). The side panel can be removed for this operation (Fig. 7). A flashlight (not supplied) might be helpful. To replenish the oil reservoirs if below the red line: Aim the telescoping tube on the Lubriplate FMO-200-AW oil bottle at the Reservoir Funnel above the Front Bearing Block. Gently squeeze the sides of the bottle to add drops slowly to the front reservoir funnel until filled to the red line (Fig. 30). Repeat the above procedure to refill the rear Reservoir. Do not overflow reservoir funnels. Stop adding oil once the oil level on both reservoirs reach the red line. LUBRICATION — Meat Grip Slide Rod The meat grip slide rod can be lubricated periodically or when any resistance is felt while using the meat grip assembly (Fig. 7). First, wipe the meat grip slide rod so the lubrication is applied to a clean dry surface. Next, gently squeeze a small amount of the provided Lubriplate oil on the rod. Then slide the meat grip up and down the rod to restore smooth operation. SERVICE Contact your local Hobart-authorized service office for any repairs or adjustments needed on the slicer. RESERVOIR
