CLEANING AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR MIXER
Consistent use of the following procedures will ensure that your mixer is in optimum operating condition.
•
Disconnect the electrical power supply cord before cleaning.
• Wash the body of the mixer, the bowl support, and beater head shaft with warm water and mild soap.
• Do not rinse with a hose.
• Do not use abrasive pads to wash the mixer.
• Dry the mixer thoroughly using a soft cloth.
• Wash the bowl and agitator immediately after each use. If egg mixtures or flour batter have been used,
rinse the bowl and agitator with cold water before washing with hot water.
• Dry bowls and agitators thoroughly.
OPERATOR’S PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
For best long-term performance, operators should follow these simple practices.
• Lightly lubricate the beater head shaft (Figure 1 [1]) after washing with a food grade lubricant.
• Do not cover the mixer with a plastic bag, as this traps humidity inside the mixer.
• If the electrical power supply cord has become damaged, it must be replaced by an approved cord or
assembly available from Univex directly or from a Univex service agent.
• Do not over load the mixer.
Over loading is the #1 cause of mixer failure.
Follow the table of mixer
capacity on page 7. It may be helpful to post a copy of the chart near the mixer.
• Keep the mixer properly lubricated.
Lack of lubrication is the #2 cause of mixer failure.
Key
mixer components require lubrication after each 500 hour of operation.
