Cleaning & Sanitizing the
System
The dispenser must be cleaned and sanitized
after installation and as required by state and
local health departments, or every 3 months
minimum. Your state or local health codes may
require more frequent and extensive sanitizing
procedures.
Cleaning and Sanitizing Equipment
and Supplies:
• Recommended sanitizer/cleaner:
Stera-Sheen® Green Label prepared to
ensure 200 ppm of available chlorine
(one-2 oz. packet/1 gallon (3.8 L) of water =
200 ppm). Solution temperature should be
between 80°F - 100°F (26.7°C - 37.8°C).
• One clean 5 gallon (19 L) bucket
• One clean 1 gallon (3.9 L) container or
bucket
• Clean non-abrasive clothes
• A small brush
• Three empty bag in the box bags (to cut
valve fittings off)
Flushing the Concentrate Lines &
Valves
Cleaning and sanitizing is not required for
potable water circuits. Potable water lines
should remain connected and operational during
the cleaning and sanitizing procedures for juice
circuits.
a. Fill the 5 gallon (19 L) bucket with clean
extremely hot tap water, approximately
140
o
F (60
o
C).
b. Take the three empty bag in the boxes and
remove the bags from the carton. With
scissors, cut the bag valve off of the bag and
clean the valve by rinsing it under hot tap
water.
c. Connect the bag valve to the gray bag
connector and submerse the parts in the
bucket of hot water.
d. Depress and hold the dispense button until
the concentrate has been fully purged from
the product lines and valves.
IMPORTANT
Do Not flush more than three valve circuits
simultaneously.
e. Once the concentrate is purged, pulse each
valve for 15 seconds on and then release the
button. Repeat this pulsing for 15 cycles for
each circuit being cleaned. Once the 15
cycles have been completed, allow each
valve to dispense for 3 continuous minutes.
f. Remove the nozzles and static mixers from
the dispenser and rinse them under hot tap
water to remove any remnant of excess
concentrate. Repeat for each circuit to be
cleaned.
g. Replace the nozzles and static mixers into
their proper location.
h. Discard any remaining hot water left in the
bucket.
Cleaning & Sanitizing the
Concentrate Lines and Valves
a. Prepare 5 gallons (19 L) of Stera-Sheen®
Green Label cleaning and sanitizing solution
by mixing one 2 oz. packet/1 gallon (3.8 L)
of potable water. This will provide enough
sanitizing solution to clean and sanitize all 4
concentrate circuits for most installations.
Installations that have 50 or more feet of
concentrate line may require more sanitizing
solution.
IMPORTANT
Use potable water at 80°F-100°F (26.7°C-
26.7°C) to create solution. Water
temperatures above this range will
breakdown the chlorine count and minimize
sanitation.
