Part V - Sanitizing the Freezer
Prior to filling the machine with fresh liquid mix, the
assembled machine must be sanitized. The frequency
of cleaning and sanitizing must comply with your local
and / or state health regulations. If uncertain of these
regulations, contact your local Health Departments or
Department of Agriculture.
Sanitizing your freezer is very important. This proce-
dure will retard the growth of bacteria and insure
excellent product bacteria test results performed by
your local inspectors.
To begin, you will need the sanitizer, spatula, large
cleaning brush, (all included in the start up kit), and
clean pail.
Mix the sanitizer (Stera Sheen green label or
equivalent) into the clean pail with at least two gallons
of warm water. Mix the sanitizer and water to make a
200-PPM. concentration of sanitizer solution. Using
the spatula, stir the solution until the sanitizer is
completely dissolved.
!! IMPORTANT !!
Do not exceed the formula recommended by the
sanitizer manufacturer as it will not add to the
sanitizing effectiveness. DO NOT use straight
chlorine bleach since it does not clean properly and
will damage plastic components. Do not leave the
sanitizing solution in the freezer longer than one
hour as it can corrode some parts.
With the dispensing handle closed, pour an even
amount of the sanitizer solution into the mix tank.
With the large cleaning brush, clean all surfaces of the
mix storage tank with the sanitizing solution.
With the cylinder full of the sanitizer solution, push the
“Push to Select” button on the front touch pad
(#571.2) until the beater mode is selected. Allow the
machine to run in the beater mode for approximately
30 seconds.
!! IMPORTANT !!
Do not select the “Automatic” or “Stand-By” modes
while sanitizer is in the machine as this can possibly
damage your freezer. Select only the “Beater “mode
while cleaning or sanitizing the freezer.
