OPERATION AND CARE OF BBS SERIES BREAD SLICERS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL
Baxter Bread Slicers come in models with manual or automatic operation. Manual slicers feature an easyto-use slice lever, which enables you to personally control the slice pressure. Automatic models replace the lever with push-button operation for continuous slicing. The built-in slice management system automatically adjusts slice pressure to loaf consistency. In addition, electronic eye sensors increase safety by stopping slicing operation if the loading area is entered. Baxter Bread Slicers come in freestanding and countertop sizes. All models include a bagging spade and an easy-to-clean crumb drawer or tray. Thoroughly read this manual before operation and carefully follow the instructions provided.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING This equipment was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Immediately after unpacking, 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 installation, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specication on the slicer data plate and in this manual. LOCATION After unpacking the slicer, place in a work-accessible area as near to its nal installed position as possible. Ensure there is adequate lighting for operation. Remove protective covering from exterior surfaces prior to placing slicer in its nal location. If necessary, attach feet or casters to the slicer.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable portions of the National Electrical Code and/or other state and local codes.

MAINTENANCE
Turn the machine off and disconnect electrical power supply before performing any maintenance. Routinely inspect the machine to make sure that it is in proper working order. SERVICE Contact your local authorized service ofce for any repairs or adjustments needed on this equipment. LUBRICATION Some models are equipped with a lubrication system. The oil to use is a liquid food grade vegetable oil with natural antioxidant. Daily A trained user should check the oil level in the lubrication tank (on models equipped with lubrication system). Bi-Weekly Every 1000 cuts or every 15 days, a trained user should add edible oil as needed (100 to 150ml) to imbibe trolley felt and check the tank (optional) oil level. Yearly Every 25,000 cuts and/or at least 1 time a year, replace the blades of the bread slicer. Clean with a brush and vacuum the inside of the machine. Check the state of the bearings. Lubricate the guides.

HOW TO CHANGE THE BLADES Turn the machine off and disconnect electrical power before servicing or cleaning. This machine contains sharp knives. Do not touch the knives at any time unless wearing protective gloves. 1. Remove the bagging spade, open the shroud that protects the frames supporting the blades. 2. Remove the stainless steel table (or belt) at the front of the machine and disconnect the bread press (for machines equipped with Stop). 3. At the top of the front frame, loosen the screws holding the frame to the polypropylene lamellas (Item A in Figure 1) (never remove the screws and unfasten the lamellas (A) from the frame, as you might alter the default settings). 4. Tilt the frame forward. Only replace 4 or 5 blades at a time to avoid dangerous breaks and not warp the frame. 5. Replace the blades on the front frame. 6. Loosen the hexagonal socket head screws (Item B in Figure 1) which tighten the blades. 7. Replace the blades. Check that they are well positioned in the rocker arm pin. 8. Re-tension the blades by tightening screw (B), so that the blades remain in the frame as a mark of tension. 9. Repeat steps 3 to 8 for the rear frame. Cover the front frame blades to prevent injury. 10. After all blades have been changed, re-assemble the frames while ensuring that you do not overtighten the frame lamellas (A). 11. Connect your machine to the electrical power, it is now ready.
