Operator Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by your
state or local regulatory agencies and must be followed
accordingly. The following checkpoints should be
stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing operations.
Important!
General cleaning and sanitizing must be
performed daily. A thorough cleaning every 90 days is
also recommended.
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count
Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush-cleaning.
Use all brushes supplied for thorough
cleaning.The brushes are specially designed to
reach all product passageways.
Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix inlet
hole, which extends from the mix hopper down to
the rear of the freezing cylinder.
Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean the
rear shell bearing located at the rear of the
freezing cylinder. Use a generous amount of
cleaning solution on the brush.
Using a screwdriver and a cloth towel, keep the
rear shell bearing and the female hex drive socket
clean and free of lubricant and product deposits.
Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions. Read and follow the label directions
carefully. Too
strong
of a solution may damage
the parts, and too
weak
of a solution will not do an
adequate job of cleaning or sanitizing.
Clean and sanitize the syrup lines regularly to
prevent syrup residue buildup that would restrict
the proper flow of syrup.
On a regular basis, take a brix reading to ensure a
consistent quality product.
Regular Maintenance Checks
Replace scraper blades that are nicked,
damaged, or worn down.
Before installing the beater, make sure that the
scraper blades are properly attached over the
pins.
Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive product leakage from the rear drip
pans to the front drip tray).
Dispose of O-rings and seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace with new ones.
Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in the
Assembly section. (See “Assembly” on page 6-1.)
Check the condenser(s) for dirt and lint. Dirty
condensers will reduce the efficiency and capacity
of the machine. Condensers should be cleaned
monthly
by removing and cleaning the poly-flo
filter. Remove the service panel and side panels
to expose the condenser(s). Never use
screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean
between the fins.
!
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
