ANNUAL SANITISING
At least once a year, or more frequently according to the use
of the machine and the quality of the inlet water, the entire
foodstuff circuit system must be cleaned and sanitized in
the following way:
- all parts of the hydraulic system in contact with food,
including the hoses, must be removed from the unit and
fully disassembled;
- all visible residue and product films are mechanically
removed using brushes or similar tools, if necessary;
- all components must be soaked in a sanitising solution for
at least 20 minutes;
- the unit internal surfaces are to be cleaned with the same
sanitising solution;
- thoroughly rinse and then reinstall the parts.
Before restarting the machine, the same sanitising
procedure described in section “Sanitising the mixers
and the foodstuff circuits” should be repeated.
The cup release ring must not be opened for normal
cleaning.
If adjustments are necessary during re-installation, care
must be taken to:
- align the notch on the microswitch actuation gear with the
arrow on the snail support;
- ensure that the snails are oriented as indicated in the
figure.
