CLEANING

MAINTENANCE

• MOTOR-SHAFT SEAL

An examination should be made periodically 
to assure that a seal against liquids is being 
maintained around the motor shaft. The seal should
be lubricated regularly with a food-grade grease or
oil. With proper care and depending on use, the
seal should last for a year or more.  However, it can
and should be replaced whenever wear or erosion
is noted or minimally once every three to six
months. It is recommended that the seal be 
replaced by an authorized repair agency.

• BOWL LOCKING BUSHINGS

These bushings are located on the underside of the
continuous feed assembly and hold it in place. If
they become worn, the continuous feed assembly
will not fit tightly, and the machine may not 
operate. Check your machine periodically to be
sure the continuous feed assembly fits snugly on
the motor base.  If not, replacement bushings can
be ordered.

WARNING: NEVER USE PURE BLEACH.

Always dilute the detergent following the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer.
Clean per the following instructions or as required
by local health department regulations.

NOTE: The high temperatures of dish machines will
tend to shor ten the life of the plastic and 
rubber parts. Hand washing using a three-pot sink
will provide for the longest life of these parts.

The continuous feed assembly, pushers, and cutting
plates are dishwasher safe. They can be washed in
a dish machine or three-tank system pot sink. 
Pre-rinse the attachments before washing to remove
any bulk food on the parts. A stiff bristle brush or
power sprayer faucet attachment is effective in
knocking the food out of the crevices as a pre-rinse
procedure. The washer should have an industry-
standard wash, rinse and sanitization cycle. Allow
the parts to air-dry after sanitizing and before 
reassembly.

WEAR CUT-RESISTANT GLOVES WHEN CLEANING
THE CUTTING PLATES. 
MOTOR BASE

: Cleaning of the motor base assembly

must be done with care.

First unplug the unit.

A sponging with a cloth lightly

soaked (not dripping) in a mild detergent is accep-
table, making sure the water is not permitted to 
penetrate the shaft seal or around the switches.
Clean around the shaft seal with a small brush,
taking care to remove all food. Do not forget to
clean the motor shaft. Rinse the motor base first

When you open the hinged pusher, the motor will
stop. The motor will restart when the pusher is back
in place.
The CL 30 is equipped with a thermal overload. If
the machine is overloaded, the breaker will trip. If
this occurs, first allow the machine to cool for a
period of up to 30 minutes then, press the overload
reset located on the motor base. Try to restart. If the
machine will not start, remove the bowl, reduce the
amount of food being processed, and try again.

SAFETY

The CL 30 is fitted with a magnetic safety device
and motor braking system.

When you open the feed lead, the motor stops. To
restart the machine, simply close the feed lead, and
press the green switch.

As a precaution, always unplug your ap-
pliance before cleaning it (risk of electrocution).

Check that your detergent is suitable for 
cleaning plastic parts. Some washing agents
are too alkaline (e.g. high levels of caustic
soda or ammonia) and totally incompatible
with certain types of plastic, causing them to
deteriorate rapidly.

using a cloth lightly dampened (not dripping) with
water, then with a sanitizing solution, and dry the
machine with a soft cloth removing all liquids from
seal areas.
