To insure trouble free operation and the
highest level of sanitation control,
periodic cleaning and maintenance is
required. The maintenance system
should be aimed at maximizing the
efficient utilization of maintenance
personnel, minimizing down time, and
providing the orderly acquisition of spare
parts for support. If already established at the
location site, perform scheduled maintenance in
accordance with the standards in the Maintenance
Index Plan.
The Alto-Shaam
®
Quickchiller should be cleaned and
sanitized a minimum of once a week. Good equip-
ment that is kept clean works better and lasts longer.
Protect your investment.
Always follow appropriate state or local health
(hygiene) regulations regarding all applicable
cleaning and sanitation requirements for equipment.
