Installation, Operation and Care of
MODEL 3813 & 3913 SLICERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The model 3813 and 3913 slicers are equipped with a 1⁄2 HP motor and are available for single-phase
electrical service. The slicer features the Hobart CleanCutTM 13" diameter contoured stainless steel
knife. The slicer is furnished with a cord and plug as standard equipment. Other features include:
The No Volt Release feature, standard, requires the slicer to be restarted after a power interruption.
The Gauge Plate Interlock feature, standard, prevents the PRODUCT TRAY (Fig. 1) from being tilted or
removed unless the PRODUCT TRAY is in the home position (pulled all the way toward you) and the GAUGE
PLATE is closed. Note also that the slicer will not start unless the KNOB on the PRODUCT TRAY SUPPORT
ARM (Fig. 1) is tight.
The Home Start feature, standard, requires the PRODUCT TRAY (Fig. 1) to be in the home position (pulled
all the way toward you) before the slicer can be started.
The Close-to-Stop feature, standard, turns the slicer off when the GAUGE P LATE is returned to the closed
position by turning the INDEX KNOB (Fig. 1) fully clockwise. The slicer also is turned off if the OFF button
is pressed.
The Auto-Shutoff feature, standard, will automatically turn the slicer off if a back-and-forth stroke of
the PRODUCT TRAY has not been made within 30 seconds.
The Lift Assist feature, standard, allows you to lift and lower the right side of the slicer with little effort
to enable cleaning underneath.
The model 3913 slicer features automatic slicing with a choice of three speeds for the PRODUCT TRAY.
The Select-a-StrokeTM feature allows you to select the exact stroke length to fit the product being sliced;
this can increase the slice rate on items needing a shorter stroke.
ACCESSORIES & OPTIONS
• Fences — Each fence clamps on the PRODUCT TRAY to limit product movement during slicing.
Two fences are available. The Full Fence is suitable for all products. The End Fence
is for meat or cheese loaves.
•
Food Chute
—Clamps on the PRODUCT TRAY to limit movement of product during slicing (for
tomatoes, onions or similar items).
• Knife — Allows the KNIFE to be removed from the motor hub. After removal, the KNIFE remains
Removal attached to the KNIFE REMOVAL TOOL while the KNIFE is being cleaned in a sink or
Tool 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.

CLEANING
This machine must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized at least as often as required by local regulation
or after being idle for an extended period of time.
The slicer knife is very sharp. Exercise extreme caution when working near
the knife.
Unplug the machine power cord and turn the index knob fully clockwise to
close the gauge plate before cleaning the slicer.
For general cleaning, use a clean cloth soaked in mild detergent and warm water, and wipe all surfaces
of the machine especially where food or liquids can accumulate. Be sure to wipe any surface where
there is frequent hand contact including handles, knobs and the control pad. Rinse using a fresh cloth
and clean water. Apply sanitizing solution to cleaned surfaces. Make sure the slicer is clean of all food
soil before sanitizing. Use only products formulated to be safe on stainless steel or aluminum. DO NOT
exceed chemical manufacturer’s recommended concentrations for detergent or sanitizer.
To clean the PRODUCT TRAY (remember, the GAUGE
PLATE is already closed) pull the PRODUCT TRAY all the
way to the front. Turn the KNOB on the SUPPORT ARM
counterclockwise a quarter turn; the spring-loaded
KNOB (Fig. 11) will pop outward. Tilt the PRODUCT

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 the area 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 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 8 seconds and shuts off. Release the SHARPENER L EVER. The stroke
counter will then automatically reset. 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 8 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 (supplied) after approximately 1 year of operation for a manual slicer
(model 3813) and after approximately 6 months of operation on an automatic slicer (model 3913).
Typical operation is estimated to be 3 hours of slicing per day. To check whether the reservoirs are
empty, lift up the right side of the slicer base and allow the LIFT ASSIST to support the machine (Fig. 18).
Leave the PRODUCT TRAY in place on the CARRIAGE TRANSPORT.
Look through the CARRIAGE SLOT (Fig. 7) to observe the oil
level in the CLEAR PLASTIC RESERVOIRS under the CARRIAGE
TRANSPORT (Fig. 30). A flashlight (not supplied) might be
helpful. To replenish the oil reservoirs: Remove the SIDE
PANEL (Fig. 7) ( 4 screws), and aim the telescoping tube
on the Lubriplate FMO-200-AW oil bottle at the RESERVOIR
FUNNELS above the FRONT and REAR BEARING BLOCKS.
Gently squeeze the sides of the bottle to add drops slowly
to the reservoir(s) (Fig. 30). Move the CARRIAGE T RANSPORT
as necessary to access the front and rear RESERVOIR
FUNNELS. The drops will slowly feed into the CLEAR PLASTIC
RESERVOIRS. Replace the SIDE PANEL.
SERVICE
Contact your local Hobart-authorized service office for any repairs or adjustments needed on the slicer.
