7.0 CLEANING
NOTE
BEFORE COMMENCING ANY CLEANING PROCEDURES, ISOLATE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY (UNPLUG)
Cleaning the cutting wire Wipe the cutting wire after each cake. Important! Bent wires can cause a poor slicing quality and must be exchanged immediately. The wire will last longer if used correctly. If you try to cut a hard cake the wire will break.
Cleaning the product support discs We recommend that the product support discs be removed from the machine and washed or wiped down individually with soap and warm water. Important! Do not wash the product support discs in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the Main body It is recommended that the proportioner body be wiped down with soap and warm water after each period of use. Do not soak the control panel area but wipe with a damp cloth.

To operate your CakePortioner please follow the following steps. 1. Turn your CakePortioner on by using the on/ off switch at the back of the machine. 2. Select the number of portions required by pressing up or down buttons. 3. Check the slicing wire. Replace if any damage is showing, see service section.
4. Install the product support disc of the appropriate diameter for cake to be cut. 5. Lay the non-slip mat centrally on the disc.
6. Place the product on the mat and centre it.
7. Press the start button. CakePortioner will now slice the cake with the 0.4mm thick slicing wire. The wire will then lift up and the turntable will rotate ready for the next slice. This process will be repeated until the desired number of slices has been achieved. On average, a 12” cake can be sliced into 16 equal portions in around 30 seconds. To stop the machine without proceeding turn off the switch on the back of your machine.

Secrets of Slicing Your CakePortioner will make your daily slicing effortless. A quality sliced product is defined as: - Sharp tips on each slice - Minimal or none destruction of the centre of the product - Cleanliness of the cut through the product - Straightness of each cut - Minimization of the damage to the coating and the decoration - Complete cut through the product There are two ways to use your CakePortioner for slicing: 1. Slice your product first and then decorate it. 2. Decorate your product and then slice it. Either way works depending on your product, the decoration and your preferences. With CakePortioner there is no secret to slicing fresh round cake anymore.
Slicing temperature With CakePortioner there is no necessity to freeze your fresh round products. But we recommend chilling your cake for a short time prior to slicing. We recommend this especially if you are slicing soft creamy cakes. Chilling allows the cream etc. to become firmer. Just place your fresh product into the machine and slice it in as many perfectly even wedges as you require, again and again.
Recommended do’s and don’t’s 1. CakePortioner will only slice soft round cakes and desserts. 2. There should not be any large hard pieces of nuts, fruit etc in the sponge ingredients. 3. We recommend that if your recipe includes nuts, fruit etc, then they are chopped into
small pieces. 4. We recommend that if you are going to coat the sides of your cake with for instance
chocolate, nuts etc that they are chopped or grated finely. If they are too big as the wire comes down to slice the cake some of the coating may come off.
5. If you are going to decorate the top of your cake with fruit etc then we recommend that you fill and cover your cake with whatever covering you are using, then slice the cake and then decorate. This method ensures every slice of cake has whole pieces of fruit on it, it also ensures that your piped cream or butter cream decorations also remain whole which looks much more pleasing to the eye.
6. We recommend that once the cake is sliced, a cake collar should be put around the cake and then each piece decorated.
7. If you attempt to slice a cake that is hard or has large hard pieces in it, then the wire will snap.
Slicing wires CakePortioner works best with our standard 0.4mm, high quality slicing wire. We recommend that you only use the original CakePortioner wire. Spare wires can be purchased separately.
Product support discs A disc of 228mm (9”) diameter is supplied and other sizes are available to purchase from Mono. Depending on the diameter of your product choose the right product support discs. Important! If you want to cut a product with e.g. 11” diameter always choose the 11” product support disc. Choosing a smaller or bigger Disc might cause slicing and centralising problems.
