Cleaning Solution
Mix a mild, non-abrasive detergent (e.g. Sodium Laureth
Sulfate, dish soap) with clean, potable water at a temperature
of 90°F to 110°F (32°C 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. Ensure rinsing is thorough, using clean,
potable water at a temperature of 90°F to 110°F. Extended
lengths of product lines may require additional cleaning solution.
Sanitizing Solution
Prepare the sanitizing solution in accordance with the
manufacturer’s written recommendations and safety guidelines.
The type and concentration of sanitizing agent recommended in
the instructions by the manufacturer shall comply with 40 CFR
§180.940. The solution must provide 100 parts per million (PPM)
chlorine (e.g. Sodium Hypochlorite or bleach) and a minimum of
five gallons of sanitizing solution should be prepared.
If a powder sanitizer is used, dissolve it thoroughly
with hot water prior to adding to the syrup system.
Ensure sanitizing solution is removed from the
dispenser as instructed.
