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
described 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.
H. Rinse the lower chute thoroughly.
I.
Dry the lower chute thoroughly.
J.
Empty the cleaning solution from the spray bottle, then refill with plain water. Rinse the upper
chute thoroughly.
K. Dry the upper chute.
L.
Reinstall the lower ice chute onto the upper chute, then reinstall the spring.
M. Reinstall merchandiser.
N. Reconnect power to the dispenser.
