CLOSE
Daily cleaning of the tomato slicer will keep this piece
of equipment clean and free from build-up. However, if
residual tomato juice is allowed to remain on the
tomato slicer for long periods, a hard white deposit
will form on the cutting blades which becomes very
hard to remove and will dull the blades. The following
procedure will remove any hard white deposits from
5
the tomato slicer blades.
Tools Needed:
McD All Purpose Concentrate (APC) (HCS), McD
Sanitizer (HCS)
, Nylon pot brush, part no. 943-042.
1.Take the tomato slicer to the 3 compartment sink.
2.Spray the tomato slicer, including blades and
pusher head, with hot water to loosen tomato
residue.
3.Prepare a hot solution of
McD APC (HCS)
from the
sink proportioner in the back sink and immerse the
tomato slicer. Allow to soak for 10 minutes.
4.In a separate sink compartment, prepare a solution
of
McD Sanitizer (HCS)
by mixing 2 packets of
McD Sanitizer (HCS)
in 2-1/2 gallons (9.5 l) of
lukewarm water.
IMPORTANT:
This is twice the strength of normal
sanitizing solution.
5.Remove the Tomato Saber from the
McD APC
(HCS)
solution.
Using the nylon pot brush, remove
any white deposits from the pusher head assembly
and blades.
7.Spray the Tomato Saber with hot water to rinse off
the
McD APC (HCS)
solution.
8.Immerse the tomato slicer into the
McD Sanitizer
solution (HCS)
in the second compartment.
