Before cleaning a slicer, what is the first step you should take?

  1. Take all removable pieces off

  2. Unplug the machine

  3. Ask the supervisor

  4. Close the blade

The correct answer is: Unplug the machine

The first step in cleaning a slicer is to unplug the machine. This is crucial for safety reasons; ensuring the machine is not connected to a power source minimizes the risk of injury while cleaning, especially since the slicer has sharp blades that can cause harm. By unplugging the slicer, you effectively eliminate any chance of the machine powering on unexpectedly during the cleaning process. Other options, although they may be part of the cleaning procedure, do not address the primary concern of safety. For instance, taking off removable pieces or closing the blade are important steps in the cleaning process but should only be done after ensuring that the machine is safely unplugged. Asking the supervisor might be necessary in some contexts, but it is not a required first step in the cleaning procedure when it comes to handling electrical equipment safely.
