8. CLEANING AND SANITIZING
8.1 General Information
The dispensers are shipped from the factory cleaned and sanitized in accordance with NSF guidelines. After installation
of the dispenser, the operator must provide continuous maintenance as described in this manual and always adhere to
state and local codes to ensure proper operational and sanitation requirements are met. Failure to properly clean and
sanitize the dispenser can negatively affect components, drink quality, and dispenser operation. FBD recommends that
the dispenser be sanitized annually or when the dispenser has been non-operational for an extended period of time.
A few precautions when cleaning:
•
To avoid contamination, DO NOT disconnect water lines during the cleaning and sanitizing process.
•
DO NOT use strong bleaches or detergents when cleaning the exterior of the equipment. They will discolor and
possibly corrode various materials.
•
DO NOT use metal scrapers, sharp objects, steel wool, scouring pads, abrasives, solvents, etc., on the dispenser
as they can damage the finish on various materials.
8.2 Daily Cleaning
A mild soap solution such as hand dishwashing detergent diluted with water at 90°F to 100°F (32°C to 38°C) should
be used to clean the exterior of the equipment. Remove all product residues from the surfaces of the dispenser. Rinse
thoroughly using clean water also at 90°F to 100°F (32°C to 38°C) to remove the remaining soap. Remove the drip tray (if
not connected to drain plumbing) and cup rest to clean in a sink using a mild soap solution.
8.3 Sanitizing
The dispenser should be sanitized yearly. Prepare a chlorine solution containing 100 PPM of available chlorine with clean
water at 90°F to 100°F (32°C to 38°C). Commercial beverage equipment sanitizing and cleaning solutions such as Kay-5
or Stera Sheen are preferred because they also contain surfactants to assist in cleaning. If using a commercial sanitizer/
cleaner such as this then prepare according to their directions.
The following procedure must be followed for sanitizing the dispenser in accordance with NSF guidelines. The following
process describes the procedure for one barrel. Repeat for all barrels.
1
On the home screen press the up or down arrow until the barrel to be sanitized is highlighted.
Press the green button and then select OFF. Press the green button again and select DEFROST.
2
While the barrel is defrosting, remove the drip tray (if not connected to drain plumbing), splash
plate, and the cover located behind the splash plate.
3
Take an empty BIB and cut off the connector to make an adapter. Attach the BIB connector
(adapter) to the connector on the syrup line - this will open up the syrup line connector and allow
for cleaning solution to be pumped into the dispenser.
