Navigating the world of food slicing? Look no further! Our Hobart HS Heavy Duty meat slicers are here to revolutionize your slicing experience. Whether you're running a cozy local deli, a bustling chain restaurant, or a busy retail establishment, these slicers are your go-to solution for delivering precise cuts every single time. We're excited to help you keep your customers consistently satisfied.
One of the standout features is the Zero-Knife exposure, a unique Hobart innovation. This gives operators extra confidence when it comes to sharpening and cleaning. And with our patented knife removal tool (optional on some models), you can completely remove the knife during cleaning. This not only protects the blade edges but also makes the cleaning process more effective.
**Precision Cutting at Its Best**
Our knives are in a league of their own. While ordinary knives dull quickly or develop pits, ours stay sharp for a long time, offering you unmatched precision. The 13-inch CleanCut knife is made of stainless steel with a cobalt-alloy edge. This alloy allows us to create a thin-edge design, which means better yield and lower ownership costs. The HS Series slicer also comes with Borazon sharpening stones to help you maintain a consistently sharp cut.
**A Breeze to Clean**
Sanitation is a cinch with the seamless and removable features of this slicer. The patented removable ring-guard cover stops debris from building up on the cutting surfaces. The exclusive tilting, removable carriage system, along with the rear-mounted, removable meat-grip arm and slide-rod extension, enables thorough cleaning and sanitation. Add to that a seamless base, a no-drip plate, a dish machine-safe knife, and easy-to-remove fasteners, and you've got a slicer that's a dream to clean.

Using your Hobart HS8 13 meat slicer is a piece of cake. First, make sure it's placed on a stable countertop. Plug it into a 120V power source. You can start by adjusting the cut thickness according to your needs, ranging from 0 to 1 inch. Put the meat or cheese on the carriage and use the meat - grip arm to hold it in place. Then, turn on the slicer and slowly move the carriage to get your slices.
When it comes to safety, always wear cut - resistant gloves when handling the blade. Don't try to remove the blade without using the proper knife removal tool if it's an option for your model. Also, keep your fingers away from the blade at all times. The auto - shut - off feature is there to protect you, so don't try to bypass it.
For maintenance, after each use, unplug the slicer. Remove the blade if possible and clean it thoroughly. You can use a dish machine for the blade if it's safe to do so. Clean the carriage, meat - grip arm, and other removable parts. Wipe down the base and the no - drip plate. Use the Borazon sharpening stones regularly to keep the blade sharp. And remember, since it's NSF and ETL certified, following these steps will help keep it in top - notch condition and ensure food safety.
