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 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.
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 brushes supplied for thorough cleaning.
The brushes are specially designed to reach all
mix passageways.
 Use the bristle brush to clean the mix feed tube,
which extends from the 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. Be 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 off the foam and discard, then
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 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 mix in the mix hopper and
walk-in cooler should be below 40°F (4.4°C).

Regular Maintenance Checks

 Replace scraper blades that are nicked,
damaged, or worn down. Before installing the
beater, be certain the scraper blade is properly
attached.
 Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in drip pan) and be certain
it is properly cleaned.
 Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the rear
shell bearing and the female square 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 O-
rings.
 Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
"Assembly" on page 6-1.
 Check the condenser(s) 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.
