Section 7 Important: Operator Checklist

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 check points should be stressed during the cleaning and sanitizing operations.

WE RECOMMEND DAILY CLEANING AND SANITIZING.

Troubleshooting Bacterial Count

j 1. Thoroughly clean and sanitize the machine regularly, including complete disassembly and brush cleaning.

j2. Use all brushes supplied for thorough cleaning. The brushes are specially designed to reach all mix passageways.

j3. 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.

j4. Use the black bristle brush to thoroughly clean the rear shell bearing located at the rear of the freezing cylinder. Be sure to have a generous amount of cleaning solution on the brush.

j5. 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.

j6. Using a screwdriver and cloth towel, keep the female square drive socket and rear shell bearing clean and free of lubricant and mix deposits.

j 7. IF LOCAL HEALTH CODES PERMIT THE USE OF RERUN, make sure the rerun is stored

in a sanitized, covered stainless steel container and used the following day.

Regular Maintenance Checks

j1. Rotate 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.

j 2. Replace scraper blades that are nicked or damaged.

j3. Before installing the beater, be certain that the scraper blades are properly attached over the beater pins.

j4. Dispose of o-rings and seals if they are worn, torn, or fit too loosely, and replace them with new ones.

j5. Follow all lubricating procedures as outlined in “Assembly”.

j6. Check the rear shell bearing for signs of wear (excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and be certain it is properly cleaned.

j7. Check the condenser(s) 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 clean the filters on a monthly schedule.

Caution: Always disconnect electrical power prior to cleaning the condenser. Failure to follow this instruction may result in electrocution.

j8. On water cooled units, 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 an authorized Taylor mechanic.
