Important: Operator Checklist
During Cleaning and Sanitizing
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed
by federal, state, or local regulatory agencies,
and must be followed accordingly. If the unit
has a “Standby mode”, it must not be used in
lieu of proper cleaning and sanitizing
procedures and frequencies set forth by the
ruling health authority. The following check
points should be stressed during the cleaning
and sanitizing operations.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING MUST BE
PERFORMED DAILY.
Troubleshooting Bacterial Count
j
1. Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush cleaning.
j
2. Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.
The brushes are specially designed to reach all
mix passageways.
j
3. Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix feed
tube which extends from the mix cabinet up to
the rear of the freezing cylinder.
j
4. Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean
the rear shell bearing located at the rear of the
freezing cylinder. Be sure there is a generous
amount of cleaning solution on the brush.
j
5. IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE
USE OF RERUN, make sure the mix rerun is
stored in a sanitized, covered stainless steel
container and used the following day. DO NOT
prime the machine with rerun. When using
rerun, skim off the foam and discard. Mix the
rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50 during the
day’s operation.
j
6. On a designated day of the week, run the mix as
low as feasible and discard after closing. This
will break the rerun cycle and reduce the
possibility of high bacteria and coliform counts.
j
7. 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.
j
8. Empty all syrup from the tanks and discard at
least once a week.
j
9. Thoroughly clean and sanitize the syrup lines at
least once a week.
j
10. The temperature of the mix in the mix cabinet or
walk--in cooler should be below 40_F. (4.4_C.).
Regular Maintenance Checks
j
1. Rotate scraper blades to allow both sides of the
knife edge to wear evenly. This will contribute to
self--sharpening and help maintain fast, efficient
freezing.
j
2. Replace scraper blades that are nicked or
damaged. Before installing the beater, be
certain that the scraper blades are properly
attached over the pins.
j
3. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip tray) and be
certain it is properly cleaned.
j
4. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the
rear shell bearings and the female drive sockets
clean and free of lubricant and mix deposits.
j
5. Dispose of o--rings and seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace with new
ones.
j
6. Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
“Assembly”.
j
7. On air cooled units, check the condensers for
accumulation of dirt and lint. Dirty condensers
will reduce the efficiency and capacity of the
machine. Condensers should be cleaned
monthly with a soft brush. Never use
screwdrivers or other metal probes to clean
