CARE AND CLEANING
Note: Each time the freezer is disassembled, all internal freezer components must be thoroughly washed, scoured,
and sanitized using procedures recommended by your local health department. In lieu of local health department
recommendations, use a three compartment sink; one compartment to wash parts in detergent, one compartment to
rinse, and one to sanitize.
Drain and Rinse
1. If the freezer is empty, proceed to “Cleaning Following Complete Disassembly of Unit” or “Daily Cleaning
Procedure”. If the freezer is full of product, turn the mode switch to "CLEAN".
2. On freezers using the optional electric pump and tank assembly and optional Remote Fill Control, turn the
switch on the Remote Fill Control to "OFF" and unplug the pump.
3. On freezers using the optional Remote Fill Control and Proportioning Pump, turn off the water valve on the
Proportioning pump, using the valve next to the inlet pressure regulator.

freezer to "OFF".
Note: Use approximately 2-1/2 gallons (10 liters) of cool water to rinse product out of the freezer.

hopper. Allow the water to fill the freezing cylinder.
