Instructions for maintaining the machine's value

Regular and proper care helps to maintain the machine's value. The
best protection against harmful influences is to clean and disinfect the
machine on a regular basis. The longer product residue and other
aggressive deposits remain on the machine, the more harmful their
corrosive effects will be. On the other hand, care products can also
cause damage if they are used incorrectly.
• After every cleaning of the machine or its surroundings (for exam-
ple the floor or adjacent machines), always thoroughly remove any
care product residue from the machine with water of drinking qual-
ity. This prevents corrosion.
• Do NOT use any care products for the cleaning of the machine or
its surroundings, which contain chlorine or which are highly acidic
or alkaline. These create strong vapours and cause corrosion.
• Do NOT shorten the cleaning intervals for the mildly acidic clean-
ing and disinfection. All acidic cleansers are corrosive and they
can cause embrittlement and premature aging of plastics.
• Where components are made of aluminium, it is NOT permitted to
use tools which scratch metal, or to use harsh cleansers or clean-
ing devices which have an abrasive effect. These damage the
anodised layer. The components can then corrode. Residues of
cleansers and other aggressive deposits must be removed imme-
diately.
• Do NOT use care products, which contain solvents, for compo-
nents made of plastic. These can cause embrittlement and prema-
ture aging of plastics.
• Dosage and application time of the care products, as well as the
correct temperature of the mixing water, must be observed. The
manufacturers also provide information on the maximum permissi-
ble dosages which apply in the food area.
• If used incorrectly, care products can damage components made
of rubber or plastic. Before applying care products, please take
time to read the instructions and warnings provided by the manu-
facturer.
The following points must be observed in order to prevent damage to
the machine:
• Do NOT rinse with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner . Only use
low pressure between 4 bar and 6 bar (58 psi to 88 psi).
• Use a flat fan nozzle with a 5 ° to 15 ° inclination and an approx.
3/16 " nozzle opening.
