Section 7

During Cleaning and Sanitizing

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,
the Standby mode must not be used in place 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.
FOLLOW YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

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 long (38 in.) white bristle brush to clean
the mix feed tube which extends from the mix
reservoir 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. Use 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.
