Section 7

During Cleaning and Sanitizing

ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by your
State or local regulatory agencies and must be followed
accordingly. 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 white-bristle brush to clean the mix inlet
hole which extends from the mix 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. Use a generous amount of
cleaning solution on the brush.
 Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing
solutions. Read and follow the 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.
Empty all syrup from the tanks and discard at least

once a week.
 Thoroughly clean and sanitize the syrup lines at
least once a week.
 The temperature of mix in the mix hopper and
walk-in cooler should be below 40ºF (4.4ºC).
 Discard remaining mix from the freezer during
closing procedures.

Regular Maintenance Checks

Rotate the scraper blades to allow both sides of

the knife edge to wear evenly. This will contribute
to self-sharpening and help maintain fast, efficient
freezing.
 Replace scraper blades that are bent, damaged,
or worn down.
 Before installing the beater, make sure that
scraper blades are properly attached over the
beater pins.
 Dispose of O-rings and seals if they are worn,
torn, or fit too loosely, and replace them with new
ones.
 Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and make
sure it is properly cleaned.
 Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the rear
shell bearing and the female drive socket free of
lubricant and mix deposits.
 Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in
Freezing Cylinder Assembly on page 6-1.
 On air-cooled machines, check the condenser for
accumulation of dirt and lint. Dirty condensers will
reduce the efficiency and capacity of the machine.
Condensers and filters should be cleaned
monthly. Remove the rear panel to gain access to
the condenser. Use a soft brush to clean between
the fins of the condenser. Never use screwdrivers
or other metal probes to clean between the fins.
 On water-cooled machines, check the water lines
for kinks or leaks. Kinks can occur when the
machine is moved back and forth for cleaning or
maintenance purposes. Deteriorated or cracked
water lines should be replaced only by a Taylor
sevice technician.
