ROUTINE SERVICE AND SANITATION
Sanitation is an important phase of merchandiser operation. The lack of proper cleaning and sanitation
can cause merchandiser malfunction and loss of sales.
The periods and suggested procedures for cleaning and sanitation are given as guides only, and are not to
be construed as absolute or invariable. Local conditions must always be taken into consideration. Cer-
tain installations require that some or all of the steps under Monthly Service and Sanitation be performed
weekly. Each merchandiser must be maintained individually in accordance with its particular require-
ments. We, however, stress "A CLEAN MERCHANDISER IS THE MOST PROFITABLE MER-
CHANDISER".
Cleaning means “free of visible soil”.
Sanitizing means effective bactericidal treatment of clean surfaces of equipment and utensils by a process
which has been approved by the health authority as being effective in destroying microorganisms, includ-
ing pathogens. When you sanitize you create a healthy and hygenic condition.
Sanitizing processes generally accepted by the health authority are as follows:
1. Heat: Immersion of the object for at least 30 seconds in clean hot water of at least 170
o
F (77
o
C). Hot
water at 170
o
F (77
o
C) and above can cause burns to the skin. Exercise caution when working with
hot water at this temperature.
2. Chemical: Treat the object to be sanitized with a bactericidal compound. Follow the instructions on
the bactericide's label. A chlorine sanitizer can be made by adding one teaspoon of household chlo-
rine bleach to one gallon of water having a temperature of no lower than 75
o
F (24
o
C). Air dry do not
wipe dry. The following cautions are applicable to the service and sanitation procedures given in this
section:
IMPORTANT
All loose food particles or spillage, whether wet or dry, must be removed from the inside
and outside of the merchandiser.
CAUTION
Do not get electrical connections or electrical components damp or wet.
NOTICE
Do not use waxes or lubricants which contain silicone on or in the merchandiser. Silicone
or silicone vapors can cause electrical failure.
