hand. The door is now ready for being disassembled.

6. Dismantle the door into pieces:

•Unscrew the handle adjusting knob.

•Remove the guide and the spring.

•Remove the delivery door.

•Remove the O-rings.

7.Pull the agitator and the stuffing box out: remove the scraping pads and wash them thoroughly. Use the cleaning rod to clean the pads seats on the agitator.

8.Wash all components with a detergent/sanitiser solution. Let them dry in the open air.

9.Accurately sanitise the cooling cylinder.

10.Remove the drip drawer from the front panel and thoroughly wash it. If the drip drawer contains some mxture, the agitator stuffing box is leaking and shall be replaced.

11.Lubricate the OR rings and the stuffing box. Once a week, it is advisable to rotate the agitator stuffing box so that the rubber elasticity can be recovered.

-To preserve plastic components and gaskets, never use solvents and/or diluents during washing.

-Sanitizing chemicals shall be used according to laws in force and with the utmost caution.

-After any sanitizing operation, it is indispensable not to touch the sterilized parts either with hands or with towels, sponges or other.

-Avoid making the agitator run empty, as the machine can be damaged.
