Operator’s Checklist

During Cleaning and Sanitizing

Cleaning and sanitizing schedules are governed by 

federal, state, or local regulatory agencies and must be 

followed accordingly. If the machine has a Standby mode, 

it must not be used in lieu of proper cleaning and 

sanitizing procedures and frequencies set forth by the 

ruling health authority. The following checkpoints should 

be stressed during 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 feed 

tube, which extends from the hopper down to the 

rear of the freezing cylinder.





Use the black-bristle brush to thoroughly clean the 

rear shell bearing at the rear of the freezing 

cylinder. Be sure to have a generous amount of 

cleaning solution on the brush.





If local health codes permit the use of rerun, make 

sure the mix rerun is stored in a sanitized, covered 

stainless steel container and used the following 

day. 

Do not 

prime the machine with rerun. When 

using rerun, skim off the foam and discard, then 

mix the rerun with fresh mix in a ratio of 50/50 

during the day's operation.





On a designated day of the week, run the mix as 

low as feasible and discard after closing. This will 

break the rerun cycle and reduce the possibility of 

high bacteria and coliform counts.





Properly prepare the cleaning and sanitizing 

solutions. Read and follow 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.





Temperature of the mix in the mix hopper and 

walk-in cooler should be below 40°F (4.4°C.).

Regular Maintenance Checks





Replace scraper blades that are nicked or 

damaged. Before installing the beater assembly, 

make sure the scraper blades are properly 

attached to the helix.





Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear 

(excessive mix leakage in drip pan) and make 

sure it is properly cleaned.





Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, clean the 

rear shell bearing and the female square drive 

socket free of lubricant and mix deposits.





Dispose of O-rings and seals if they are worn, 

torn, or fit too loosely, and replace with new.





Follow all lubricating procedures. See “Assembly” 

on page 6-1.





If your machine is air-cooled, check the 

condensers for accumulation of dirt and lint. Dirty 

condensers will reduce the efficiency and capacity 

of the machine. Condensers should be cleaned 

monthly with a soft brush. 

Never

 use screwdrivers 

or other metal probes to clean between the fins. 

Note:

For machines equipped with an air filter, it will be 

necessary to vacuum the filters clean on a monthly 

schedule.

WARNING! 

Always disconnect electrical 

power prior to cleaning the condenser. Failure to follow 

this instruction may result in electrocution.

ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL HEALTH CODES.
