6.1.2 Washing setting
The machine has a special setting for cleaning purposes. You can select this setting from the
main menu. It has the following characteristics:
-
The format parts are closed. This protects them from cleansers and flooding.
-
The heating plates cool down to 30
C/ 86
F
WARNING
The format parts can remain hot up
to 1 hour after being turned off.
In the washing setting the machine is suitable for cleaning. Do not aim running water at parts
where electricity works, such as motors, the cabinet and the control panel (see Figure 1.1).
6.1.3 Disinfecting and removing calcium deposits
Some cleaning activities involve the use of disinfectants and calcium deposit removers.
Excess use of these cleansers can have a negative effect on the machine. Disinfectants
contain metal, which can cause induced rust. If this happens, take the following measures:
-
Remove the rust with an anti-corrosive.
-
Disinfect the de-rusted part once again, using an alcohol-based disinfectant.
-
Restore the grease film on the metal with an anti-
corrosive. Use only ‘Food Grade’
anti-corrosives or medicinal oil.

Maintenance procedures
The maintenance system consists of two parts:
-
3 procedures that describe the actions to be undertaken.
Each procedure describes a number of activities that have to be carried out.
-
A logbook.
A record is kept in the logbook of who carried out a particular activity. The logbook
also has space for remarks, e.g. activities not performed or parts exchanged.
-
The 3 procedures must be carried out at the end of each production day. A procedure
consists of a number of activities, sometimes accompanied by a remark. Read these and
follow them. The activities must be performed in the numerical order indicated.
Three columns are added in Procedure 2 (Cleaning and Maintenance): Daily, Weekly and
Monthly. In the columns an X marks the action that must be carried out in a specific period.
NB: the X’s in the Weekly and Monthly columns are supplementary to the Daily activities: if
there is one X per week the activities in the column must be carried out daily and weekly;
One X per month all activities must be carried out. The logbook should record what
maintenance work has been carried out.
Tip:
If the machine is not running on Saturdays and Sundays, the weekly maintenance can
best be carried out on the preceding Friday.
