9.6 - Cleaning Recommendations
Washdown
This machine is not waterproof and is not intended for full wash down. If full washdown
is performed on the equipment near the machine, it must be completely protected by a
waterproof cover or by other means. Washdown will void the warranty.
Cleaning solutions
Glass and stainless steel are resistant to most cleaning solutions. Other contact materials
such as aluminum and nonmetallics (plastics, or rubber) are generally less corrosion-
resistant and care should be exercised in their cleaning. Aluminum is readily attacked by
acids as well as highly alkaline cleaners, which can render the surface non-cleanable.
Plastics are subject to stress cracking and clouding from prolonged exposure to corrosive
cleaning agents. Use a USDA approved sanitizing solution that is safe for all materials
listed below, in a spray bottle, by lightly wiping down all contact surfaces. In the absence
of such a cleaner, recommendations follow.
Recommendations
Glass (tempered): This material is resistant to damage from most cleaners. Routine
cleaning can be done with soap and water, alcohol or acetone.
Stainless steel: This material is resistant to damage from most cleaners. Routine cleaning
can be done with soap and water, alcohol or acetone.
