Start-up Instructions
The washing and sanitizing instructions
explained in this section are procedures
to remove bacteria and maintain a clean,
sanitary freezer. The freezer must be
disassembled and washed according to
the instructions in this manual before
sanitizing to ensure the best possible
cleanliness. Follow these directions for
each cylinder to be used.
CAUTION
To prevent bacteria growth,
use only approved
sanitizers to sanitize the
machine. Sanitizing must
be done just prior to
starting the machine.
Failure to do so could
create a health hazard.
8.1
Sanitizing
NOTE:
It is your responsibility to be
aware of and conform to the require-
ments for meeting federal, state and
local laws concerning the frequency of
cleaning and sanitizing the freezer.
Important:
This sanitizing step is always done
just prior to starting the freezer.

Sanitize hopper and its
components
— continued
1. Wash and sanitize your hands and
forearms.
2. Prepare 2 gallons (7.6 liters) of
sanitizing solution for each hopper. The
sanitizing solution must be mixed accord-
ing to manufacturer’s instructions to yield
100 PPM (parts per million) available
chlorine solution (example: Stera-Sheen
Green Label). Use warm water (100-110°F
or 38-43°C) to wash, rinse, and sanitize.
Make sure sanitizer is mixed thoroughly
and has completely dissolved.
Important:
Do not use unapproved sanitizers or
laundry bleach. These materials may
contain high concentrations of chlorine
and will chemically attack freezer
components.
3. Make sure the mix feed tube
assembly is in the bottom of the hopper
pan.
Important:
Never let the sanitizer remain in the
freezer for more than 15 minutes.
Important:
Do not insert any tools or objects into
the mix feed port or head dispensing
hole while the freezer is running.
4. Pour sanitizing solution into the
hopper pan. Using a clean brush, scrub the
hopper walls, mix level sensor, and the mix
feed port from the hopper to the cylinder, as
shown in figure 8-1.
5. Wash down the inside of the hopper
cover.
6. Reconnect main power supply.
Important:
Do not use the “AUTO” position with
sanitizer in the cylinder. The freezer will
be damaged.
