I. Look for the proper seal between the freezing
cylinder, front door o-ring, and front door.
J. Install the mix inlet regulator into the hopper.
K. Insert the bushing into the bottom of the hopper
agitator and put the agitator onto the shaft in
the hopper. Align the guide hole in the shaft and
agitator. Place the drive cap onto the agitator so
that the pin fi ts into the guide hole
L. Install the hopper cover, drain tray, drip tray, and
drip tray grid.
3.4 SANITIZING
Sanitizing must be done after the machine is cleaned and
just before the hopper is fi lled with mix. Sanitizing the night
before is not effective. However, you should always clean
the machine and parts after each use.
The United States Department of Agriculture and
the Food and Drug Administration require that all
cleaning and sanitizing solutions used with food
processing equipment be certifi ed for this use.
When sanitizing the machine, refer to local sanitary regu-
lations for applicable codes and recommended sanitizing
products and procedures. The frequency of sanitizing
must comply with local health regulations.
Mix sanitizer according to manufacturer’s instructions to
provide a 100 parts per million (ppm) strength solution
and check the solution with chlorine test strips. Allow
sanitizer to contact the surfaces to be sanitized for 5
minutes. Any sanitizer must be used only in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
In general, sanitizing may be conducted as follows:
A. Prepare Stera-Sheen Green Label Sanitizer
or equivalent according to manufacturer’s
instructions to provide a 100 ppm strength solution.
Mix the sanitizer in quantities of no less than
2 gallons of 90° to 110°F (32° to 43°C) water.
Check the strength of the sanitizing solution. Use
a chlorine test strip and color chart to make sure
the solution has 100 ppm. Any sanitizer must be
used only in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
B. Place the mix inlet regulator into hopper.
C. Insert the bushing into the bottom of the hopper
agitator and put the agitator onto the shaft in
the hopper. Align the guide hole in the shaft and
agitator. Place the drive cap onto the agitator so
that the pin fi ts into the guide hole.
D. Pour the sanitizing solution into the hopper and
wait until the freezing cylinder is fi lled. Check for
leaks.
E. While the freezing cylinder fi lls, clean the sides
of the hopper, the agitator, the mix inlet regulator
and the underside of the hopper cover using a
soft bristle brush dipped in the sanitizing solution.
F. Place the switch in the CLEAN position.
G. After fi ve minutes, place a bucket under the spigot
and open the spigot to drain the sanitizing solution.
Leave a small amount of the sanitizing solution
in the freezing cylinder. Place the switch in the
OFF (middle) position.
H. Collect the remaining sanitizing solution in a cup
and test the chlorine contents with a new test strip.
A reading of 100 ppm or more is acceptable.
If the reading is less than 100 ppm, sanitize the
machine again.
If the reading is less than 100 ppm after sanitizing
the second time, disassemble and wash the
machine again.

CAUTION
Do not allow sanitizer to remain in contact with
stainless steel parts for prolonged periods. Pro-
longed contact of sanitizer with machine may cause
corrosion of stainless steel parts.
CAUTION
Do not place the mix inlet regulator into the hopper
before installing the auger. Attempting to install the
auger with the mix inlet regulator in place will dam-
age the regulator.
