in water or any other liquid.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions
General Cleaning With the Attachment
in Place
Between batches, clean the cutting blades by
running the unit in a washing solution*, then rinsing
the attachment in clear water as follows:
1.
Make sure the mixer is off and unplugged.
2.
Rinse the stainless-steel exterior of the attach-
ment under running water. Flush and/or scrub to
remove as much food residue as possible.
3.
Wipe down the motor housing with a clean, damp
cloth. Take care not to allow water to enter the
motor vents. Dry with a soft cloth.
4.
Plug in the unit, immerse the attachment
approximately 1/2 of the length of the stainless-
steel portion in a container of warm (less than
115°F [46°C]) washing solution*, and run on
HIGH (2) speed for 2 minutes.
5.
Unplug the unit and repeat Steps 3 and 4 using
clean rinse water (95°F [35°C]) in place of the
washing solution.
*Use 1 drop of household dishwashing liquid per 16 oz.
(1/2 liter) water or the equivalent.
Attachment may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Sanitizing
If the immersion mixer will not be used again within
one hour, sanitize in the following manner:
1.
Wash as instructed in “General Cleaning With
the Attachment in Place.”
2.
Immerse attachment approximately 1/2 of the
length of the stainless-steel portion in a container
of a cold chlorine-based sanitizing solution that
has a minimum chlorine concentration of 100
parts per million. (See recommended solution
below.) Operate unit on HIGH (2) speed for 2
minutes.
3.
Do not rinse. Allow unit to air-dry before use.
Weekly Attachment Cleaning
Once every week, stand the attachment, blade
down, in 3 inches (8 cm) of boiling water for one
minute. Wear protective gloves when removing
attachment from water since it will be hot. Allow
to air-dry.
Recommended Sanitizing Solution
The sanitizing solution should consist of one
tablespoon (15 ml) of household bleach per 1 gallon
(3.8 L) of clean, cool water (60°F [16°C]) mixed
according to the instructions on the bleach
container. When using a sanitizing solution other
than that recommended, the sanitizing solution
concentration should be tested using commercially
available test strips and should indicate a chlorine
concentration between 100 and 200 parts per
million.
Autoclave
The stainless-steel shaft/blade assembly can be
steam-sterilized using an autoclave. Refer to the
autoclave equipment supplier and facility operating
instructions if this method is used. The frequency
of sterilization is determined by each user’s “best
practices”; however, replace the assembly once it
has been sterilized 500 times.
DO NOT use this method for the motor unit.
