TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:
•
BEFORE CLEANING, SERVICING, OR REMOVING ANY PARTS, always turn vacuum packaging
machine OFF and unplug unit.
•
NEVER attempt to clean vacuum packaging machine while vacuum packaging machine is in
operation.
•
Dilute detergent per supplier's instruction. Products containing sodium hypochlorite should not be
used on vacuum packaging machine.
•
DO NOT hose down, pressure wash, or pour water on vacuum packaging machine.
•
NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool, or abrasive material to clean vacuum packaging machine.
To prevent illness or death caused by the spread of food-borne pathogens, it is important
to properly clean and sanitize the entire vacuum packaging machine as any surface of the
vacuum packaging machine can become contaminated. It is the responsibility of the vacuum
packaging machine owner/operator to follow all guidelines, instructions and laws as established
by your local and state health departments and the manufacturers of chemical sanitizers.
Once your vacuum packaging machine makes contact with food product, the entire vacuum
packaging machine, including removable parts, must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. This
process is to be repeated at least every 4 hours using these procedures and information; and
must comply with additional laws from your state and local health departments.
As with all food contact surfaces, it is extremely important to properly sanitize the entire vacuum
packaging machine and to closely follow the instructions on your quaternary sanitizer container to
make sure proper sanitation is achieved to kill potentially harmful bacteria.
IMPORTANT: If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine or quaternary ammonium is
used, it must be applied in accordance with the EPA-registered label use instructions. Excessive
amounts of sanitizer and use of products not formulated for stainless steel or aluminum can
VOID your warranty.
Sanitizer concentration must comply with section 4-501.114, Manual and Mechanical
Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH, Concentration, and Hardness
of the FDA Food Code.
