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 machine has a Standby
mode, it must not be used instead 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:
IMPORTANT! Cleaning and sanitizing must be
performed daily.

Troubleshooting Bacterial Count

 Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush-cleaning.
 Use all the brushes supplied for thorough
cleaning. The brushes are specially designed to
reach all mix passageways.
 Use the middle-size brush to clean the mix inlet
hole which extends from the mix hopper down to
the rear of the barrel.
 Use the smaller brush to clean the drive hub
opening in the rear wall of the mix hopper. Use a
generous amount of cleaning solution on the
brush.
 Use the smaller, 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

shell bearing located at the rear of the freezing
cylinder. Use a generous amount of cleaning
solution on the brush.
Operator Checklist
Operator Checklist
 If local health codes permit the use of rerun,
make sure the mix rerun is stored in a sanitized,
covered stainless steel container and is used the
following day. Do not prime the machine with
rerun. When using rerun, skim the foam and
discard it. Mix the rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of
50:50 during the day's operation.
 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.
 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.
The temperature of the mix in the mix hopper and

walk-in cooler should be below 40F (4.4C).
Discard remaining mix from the freezer during

"Cleaning Procedures."

Regular Maintenance Checks

Replace scraper blades that are nicked or

damaged. Before installing the beater assembly,
make sure the scraper blades are properly
attached to the beater.
 Using a screwdriver and a 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 or seals if they are worn, torn,
or fit too loosely, and replace them with new ones.
 Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
"Assembly" on page 6-1.
 If your machine is air-cooled, check the condenser
for dirt and lint. A dirty condenser 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.
