9.0 MAINTENANCE AND INACTIVITY
9.1
Cleaning and Filling
In order to ensure the efficient operation of the distributor
over time, certain periodic operations must be undertaken,
some of which are essential in order to comply with the
current health regulations in force. These operations,
unless otherwise stated, are to be undertaken with distributor
open and switched off. The cleaning operations must be undertaken
before filling the dispenser with products. In order to guarantee
normal working efficiency, the machine must be installed in areas
with an environmental temperature of between 1°C and +32°C
and with a humidity level of not over 70%.
The distributor cannot be installed in places in which water jets
are used for cleaning (ie. Catering kitchens) on contact with food
products. The necessary elements for these operations are clean
brushed and cloths and drinkable water for cleaning.

drink automatic distributor:

distributor must check the cleanliness of the surrounding
environment and put up a sign to tell any potential consumers
that:
- the machine is out of use as maintenance is in progress;
- it is important that the person responsible for cleaning never
has to interrupt his work in order to operate the machine.
9.1.2 Periodic cleaning by the maintenance technician

disposed of it is possible to clean the surrounding area.
- elimination of the coarse dirt;
- disinfecting of the flooring and walls of the area surrounding
the machine up to a radius of 1 metre around the distributor;
