Cleaning And Sanitizing; After Each Use; Jar Care; Short Term - K-Tec BLENDTEC BDI Owner's Manual

Section 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing_________________________________
5.1 After Each Use: After every use of the unit, the operator should ensure that the
blender jar has been rinsed, the blend station has been wiped out if there is
spillage, and that the blender door is wiped down if there is spillage. Always
keep an empty jar on the blender motor when the unit is not in use. This helps
any melt water that is not captured by the ice hopper drain from creeping into the
blender motor itself.

Jar Care:

immerse the jars for longer than necessary in any type of liquid. Wash quickly
(with a smooth cloth or sponge), rinse, sanitize with appropriate solution (some
sanitizer manufacturers require their sanitizer to remain in contact with the
sanitized object for a specific amount of time before rinsing or removing. Refer
to your manufacturer's instructions before rinsing) and rinse again. Hold the jar
by the handle and give three or more sharp downward shakes to remove all water
from around the shaft area. Then place the jar upside down on a rack to dry.
L T – as needed, fill the jar with hot water and a tablespoon of chlorine

bleach (or other chlorine based sanitizer per manufacturer's instructions). Stir and
let set for 5 minutes. Empty and rinse with clear hot water. Hold the jar by the
handle and give three or more sharp downward shakes to remove all water from
around the shaft area. Then place the jar upside down on a rack to dry.
5.3 Short Term (Unit):
As time permits (daily or weekly), wipe down the exterior of the unit and the
interior of the blend station with a damp rag. Carefully tilt the machine either
back or forward (2 person operation) and wipe underneath the unit with a damp
rag. Disconnect the drain tube from the back of the unit and run hot sanitizer
solution through the tube to help keep the tube clear.
5.4 Long Term (Unit):
As time permits (monthly), sanitize all product lines and ice hopper utilizing the
steps below. The best time to perform this cleaning cycle is either before or after
work hours when you have plenty of time. Mix up 2-5 gallons of sanitizer
solution per the manufacturers directions.

– as needed, wash the jars with a mild detergent solution. Do not
:
around the augers. Remember that the removal of the lid causes
the unit to be disabled from being run; however, it is recommended
that you turn the unit off at the switch while you are removing ice.
Once you have removed as much ice as you can, replace the ice
hopper lid and place an empty blender jar in the blend station.
Press and hold the ICE button to dump the remaining ice pieces.
Empty the jar and replace in the blend station.
