CAUTION
1. Prepare a three-compartment sink
for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing
parts removed from the freezer, per
applicable health codes. Also, prepare
a clean surface to air-dry all parts.
Important:
Do not use unapproved sanitizer
or laundry bleach. These materials
may contain high concentrations of
chlorine bleach and will chemically
attack freezer components.
NOTE: The sanitizer should be mixed
according to the manufacturer's
instructions to yield 100 parts per million
(PPM) available chlorine solution.
(example: Stera Sheen Green Label). Use
warm water (100 to 110°F or 38 to 43°C)
to wash, rinse, and sanitize. Make sure
the sanitizer is mixed thoroughly and has
completely dissolved.
2. Wash all parts removed from the
freezer thoroughly with a warm, mild
dish detergent solution. Clean the
following parts with the appropriate
supplied brush:
a. The mix feed tube, regulator main
bore and cross holes (figure 8-5).
b. The head plunger openings, center
plunger ports, breaker bar cavities,
o-ring grooves, dispense nozzle
mounting rings and mix ports (figure
