SANITIZING

Sanitizing must be done after the freezer is clean and
just before the hopper is filled with mix. Sanitizing the
night before is not effective. However, you should
always clean the freezer and parts after using it.
WARNING

AGRICULTURE AND THE FOOD AND DRUG
ADMINISTRATION REQUIRE THAT ALL

When sanitizing the freezer, refer to local sanitary
regulations for applicable codes and recommended
sanitizing products and procedures. The frequency of
sanitizing must comply with local health regulations.
Mix sanitizer according to manufacturer's instructions
to provide a 100 parts per million strength solution. Mix
sanitizer in quantities of no less than 2 gallons (7.5

surfaces to be sanitized for 5 minutes. Any sanitizer
must be used only in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
