What do restaurants and commercial kitchens usually use to clean their electric (deli) slicers?

I received an electric deli slicer for Xmas and am wondering what the best way to clean it is. I can't immerse it, of course, and I don't want the food I slice to get contaminated with any soaps, detergents or other cleaning products that aren't meant to be consumed. I expect that restaurants and commercial kitchens have a standard method for cleaning slicers. What is it?What do restaurants and commercial kitchens usually use to clean their electric (deli) slicers?
I just saw an episode of Modern Marvels (History Channel) that dealt with cold cuts. In it they stated that most commercial meat slicers come apart so that the parts can be washed in the sink or run through the dishwasher.



I have a consumer (non commercial) meat slicer and its parts also are easily removed and washed along with other food preparation tools and kitchen items. Just use the same cleaning products that you use for anything else that holds or handles food.

You should be able to clean the blade with soaps or detergents or whatever, and just rinse the blades off with water. That shouldn't contaminate the food.
Hot soapy water, you can take the blade off carefully, and you can rinse it totally, but you should consult the instructions that were included.
Cleaning a slicer involves three steps:



1) Clean with soapy water (I use Dawn). fill a bucket with warm water and a little soap. Use a clean towel to wipe all surfaces.



2) Rinse. Use a bucket of clean water and a towel to rinse the slicer.



3) Sanitize. Fill a two gallon bucket of warm water and add 1/2 Tbsp of chlorine bleach to the water. Use a clean towel to apply the sanitizer. Let the slicer air-dry.



Just FYI. To oil the slicer, purchase an edible food grade machine oil. You can purchase this at any restaurant supply store.
hot soapy water rinse, the blade cover should come off,and the little sharpener cover and the sliding meat holder. put back together and spray with a mix of mostly water with a hint of bleach in it. wipe the bleach off with a clean dry rag and it won't have that meat smell. bleach dissipates in minutes on contact with the air so you won't smell any bleach.
Well, shoot. Chef with 27 years experience beat me again. No one will listen to anyone but him. I give up. I'm not going answer anymore. It isn't any fun to be shouted down by him.
