2.5 CLEANING AND SANITIZING BEVERAGE COMPONENTS -
BAG-IN-BOX SYSTEMS
NOTE:
Extended lengths of product lines may require more time for flushing and
rinsing lines than stated below.
A. Disconnect the syrup quick disconnect coupling from the syrup packages and
connect the coupling to a bag valve removed from an empty Bag-in-Box (BIB)
package.
B. Place the syrup inlet line in a clean container filled with clean, potable, room
temperature water. Activate the valve until water is dispensed. Flush and rinse
the line and fittings for a minimum of sixty seconds to remove all traces of
residual product.
C. Make the sanitizing solution. Place the syrup inlet line in a container filled with
sanitizing solution.
D. Activate the valve and draw sanitizing solution through the line for a minimum of
sixty seconds. This will ensure the line is flushed and filled with sanitizing
solution. Allow the line to stand for at least thirty minutes.
E. Remove the bag valve from the quick disconnect coupling and reconnect the
syrup inlet line to syrup package. Ready the unit for operation.
F. Draw drinks to refill the lines and to flush the sanitizing solution from the
dispenser.
NOTE:
Do not follow the sanitization procedure with a fresh water rinse. Purge only
with end-use product until there is no aftertaste.
This is an NSF requirement.
G. Test the dispenser for proper operation. Taste the dispensed product to ensure
there is no off-taste. If off-taste is found, flush the syrup system again.
H. Repeat cleaning, rinsing, and sanitizing procedures for each valve and circuit.
2.6 ICE CHUTE CLEANING
It is recommended to perform this procedure monthly, or more often if desired. Use
the cleaning solution described above. An alternate solution of one part water to
one part vinegar may be used to remove water spots and calcium deposits.
A. Turn off power to the dispenser.
B. Remove merchandiser.
C. Unhook the spring from the upper ice chute by pulling up and out.
D. Remove the lower chute by carefully spreading apart the arms of the lower
chute.
E. Mix the cleaning solution. Put a portion of the solution into a spray bottle. Soak
the lower chute in the remaining solution.
F. Spray the upper chute with the cleaning solution.
G. With a soft sponge, clean the inside of the upper and lower chutes.
