SECTION 5
CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT
• After use, immediately use hot water in recirculation mode to clean the filter unit, pump and piping.
• Then dismantle the filter unit and wash all blocks, hollow frames and plates in hot water.
• Dismantle and wash the pump according to the manufacturer’s instructions and dry it completely. Never run
any type of pump dry, as the liquid is used as a lubricant.
• If you are using a diaphragm pump, insert a drop of oil into the air duct before temporary or annual storage
of the equipment.
• Lubricate the gaskets with food grade grease to prevent drying out and cracking.
• The stainless steel components of your equipment must be cleaned with a product specifically designed for
this purpose.
Never use flammable liquids
. Commonly used products such as bicarbonate of soda (Arm &
Hammer), acetic acid (vinegar) or window cleaners are suitable for restoring the shine of stainless steel. The
use of a soft, dry cloth is also recommended.
• Never use abrasive products or products containing chlorine or muriatic acid (also known as hydrochloric
acid) to clean the syrup press components. The use of wire brushes and steel wool should also be avoided.
During prolonged storage, even the slightest
CLEANING PRODUCT RESIDUE ON ALL
COMPONENTS
will obviously lead to inconvenience and damage at the beginning of the next
season. Rinse each cleaned component thoroughly.
