Section 7

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 checkpoints should be stressed
during the cleaning and sanitizing operations.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING MUST BE
PERFORMED DAILY.

Troubleshooting Bacterial Count

 Thoroughly clean and sanitize machine regularly,
including complete disassembly and brush
cleaning.
 Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.
The brushes are specially designed to reach all
mix passageways.
 Use the white bristle brush to clean the mix inlet
hole that 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. Make sure to have a generous
amount of cleaning solution on the brush.
 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 the foam and
discard. Mix the rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of
50:50 during the day's operation.
Operator's Checklist
Operator's Checklist
 On a designated day of the week, run the mix as
low as feasible and discard it after closing. This
will break the rerun cycle and reduce the
possibility of high bacteria and coliform counts.
Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing

solutions. Read and follow 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.
 Make sure the temperature of the mix in the mix
hopper and walk-in cooler is below 40°F (4.4C).

Regular Maintenance Checks

Replace scraper blades that are nicked or

damaged. Before installing the beater assembly,
make sure that scraper blades are properly
attached to the helix.
 Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and make
sure it is properly cleaned.
 Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the rear
shell bearing and the female hex drive socket
clean and free of lubricant and mix deposits.
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
"Assembly" on page 6-1.
 If your machine is air-cooled, 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
between the fins.
Note: For machines equipped with an air filter, it will be
necessary to vacuum clean the filters on a monthly
schedule.
Caution: Always disconnect electrical power
prior to cleaning the condenser.
