2. CLEANING AND SANITIZING
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
Lancer equipment is shipped from the factory cleaned and sanitized in accordance with NSF guide
lines. After installation, it is the responsibility of the installer to clean and sanitize the dispenser
again. The operator of the equipment must provide continuous maintenance as required by this
manual and state and local health department guidelines to ensure proper operation and sanitation
requirements are maintained.
For optimum dispenser performance and highest drink quality, follow the instructions listed for
cleaning your dispenser. Cleaning and sanitizing should be accomplished only by trained
personnel. If other equipment is being cleaned, follow the guidelines established by the
manufacturer for that equipment.
USE SANITARY GLOVES.
OBSERVE APPLICABLE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

2.2 CLEANING SOLUTION
Mix a mild, non-abrasive detergent (e.g. Sodium Laureth Sulfate, dish soap) with clean, potable
water at a temperature of 90 to 110°F (32 to 43°C). The mixture ratio is one ounce of cleaner to two
gallons of water. Prepare a minimum of five gallons of cleaning solution. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or solvents because they can cause permanent damage to the unit. Rinsing must be
thorough, using clean, potable water at a temperature of 90 to 110°F (32 to 43°C). Extended
lengths of product lines may require that an additional volume of cleaning solution be prepared.
2.3 SANITIZING SOLUTION
Prepare sanitizing solutions in accordance with the manufacturer’s written recommendations and
safety guidelines. The solution must provide 50 to 100 parts per million (PPM) chlorine (e.g. Sodium
Hypochlorite or bleach). A minimum of five gallons of sanitizing solution should be prepared. Any
sanitizing solution may be used as long as it is prepared in accordance with the manufacturer’s
written recommendations and safety guidelines, and provides 50 to 100 parts per million (PPM)
chlorine. Extended lengths of product lines may require that an additional volume of sanitizing
solution be prepared.
