During Cleaning and Sanitizing
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by
your State or local regulatory agencies and must be
followed accordingly. The following check points
should be stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing
operations.
WE RECOMMEND CLEANING AND SANITIZING
EVERY 90 DAYS.
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count
j 1. Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush cleaning.
j 2. Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.
The brushes are specially designed to reach all
product passageways.
j 3. Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix inlet
hole which extends from the mix hopper down
to the rear of the freezing cylinder.
j 4. Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean
the rear shell bearing located at the rear of the
freezing cylinder. Be sure there is a generous
amount of cleaning solution on the brush.
j 5. Using a screwdriver and a cloth towel, keep the
rear shell bearing and the female hex drive
socket clean and free of lubricant and product
deposits.
j 6. Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions. Read and follow the label directions
carefully. Too strong of a solution may damage
the parts and too weak of a solution will not do
an adequat e job of cleaning or sanitizing.
j 7. Clean and sanitize the syrup lines regularly to
prevent syrup residue build-up that would
restrict the proper flow of syrup.
j 8. On a regular basis, take a brix reading to assure
a consistent quality product.
Regular Maintenance Checks
j 1. Replace scraper blades that are nicked,
damaged or worn down.
j 2. Before installing the beater, be c ertain that the
scraper blades are properly attached over the
pins.
j 3. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive product leakage from the rear drip
pans to the front drip tray).
j 4. Dispose of o-rings or seals if they are w orn, torn,
or fit t oo loosely, and replace with new ones.
j 5. Follow all lubr icating procedures as outlined in
“Assembly”.
j 6. Check the condenser(s) for accumulation of dirt
and lint. Dirty condensers will reduce the
efficiency and capacity of the machine.
Condensers should be cleaned monthly by
removing the poly- flo filter and cleaning it.
Remove the service panel and side panels to
expose the condenser(s). Never use
screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean
between the fins.
