Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION
Electric shock hazard. Do not splash water on switches or allow water
to flow onto electrical components inside the machine.
CAUTION
To prevent bacteria growth, remove all o-rings when cleaning. Failure
to do so could create a health hazard.
NOTE:
It is your
responsibility to be
aware of the require-
ments for meeting
federal, state, and
local laws concern-
ing the frequency of
cleaning and sanitiz-
ing the freezer.
1. Prepare a three-compartment sink
for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing parts
removed from the freezer, per applicable
health codes. Also, prepare a clean surface
to air-dry all parts.
Important:
Do not use unapproved sanitizer or
laundry bleach. These materials may
contain high concentrations of chlo-
rine bleach and will chemically attack
freezer components.
NOTE:
The sanitizer should be mixed
according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions to yield 100 parts per million (PPM)
available chlorine solution. (example:
Stera Sheen Green Label). Use warm
water (100 to 110°F or 38 to 43°C) to
wash, rinse, and sanitize. Make sure the
sanitizer is mixed thoroughly and has
completely dissolved.
2. Wash all parts removed from the
freezer thoroughly with a warm, mild dish
detergent solution. Clean the following
parts with the appropriate supplied
brush:
a. The mix feed tube, regulator
main bore and cross holes (figure 6-5).
b. The head plunger openings,
center plunger ports, breaker bar cavi-
ties, o-ring grooves, dispense nozzle
mounting rings and mix ports (figure 6-

c. The shaft seals, washers,
plunger o-ring grooves and nozzles (figure 6-
