water, equivalent to normal rain. The water must be clean and of drinking-water
quality.
NB: Never rinse off with pressurised water.
Bowl clamping
system.
Wash the bowl clamping system as for washing the mixer/stand. Check the
detergent’s pH value, must be kept between 5.0 and 8.0 for washing aluminium.
NB: The bowl arm is aluminium.
Storage.
The bowl can be fitted on the mixer after cleaning. If the bowl is stored on the
mixer, we recommend covering it.
NB: To avoid steel corrosion, never store foods with high concentrations of
acid or salt in the bowl.
Disinfection
Disinfection requires strong chemicals. Always perform an assessment of whether disinfecting the mixer
will make any difference to food safety for the end product.
NB: Always obtain the recommendations from the supplier/manufacturer of cleaning/disinfection
products before use.
If water is left from cleaning and disinfection to evaporate on the mixer surface, the concentration of
chlorides and other chemicals will be higher than during the cleaning process.
Always rinse and wipe off the mixer with clean water of drinking-water quality after using chemicals.
All oxidising chemical disinfectants require rinsing off with clean water of drinking-water quality.
Without access to clean water of drinking-water quality, disinfection using hot water, steam and
disinfecting using IPA ethanol and ethanol can be used.
NB: Always obtain a written declaration from the supplier/manufacturer of the disinfectant that it is safe
and can be used without rinsing off using clean water of drinking-water quality.
Incorrect use of disinfectants can damage the mixer.
Acid-proof stainless steel
When producing strongly acidic and/or products with a high salt content, and when cleaning using strong
chemicals, we recommend buying the mixer bowl and tools in acid-proof stainless steel EN 1.4401 (AISI
316).
Acid-proof stainless steel is more corrosion-resistant, and by way of comparison tolerates chloride (Cl

)
concentrations below 50 ppm at temperatures up to 100°C.
