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.
CLEANING AND SANITIZING MUST BE
PERFORMED EVERY 14 DAYS.

Troubleshooting Bacterial Count:

j1. Thoroughly c lean and sanitize machine
regularly, including complete disassembly and
brush cleaning.
j2. Use all brushes s upplied for thorough
cleaning. The brushes are specially designed
to reach all mix passageways.
j3. Use the whit e 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 and the drive hub
opening in the rear wall of the mix hopper. Be
sure to have a generous amount of cleaning
solution on the brush.
j5. Properly pr epare 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. Empty all syrup from the tank s and discard at
least once a week.
j7. Thoroughly c lean and sanitize the syrup lines
at least once a week.
j8. Temperat ure of mix in mix hopper and walk-in
cooler should be below 40_F. (4.4_C.).
j9. Discard rem aining mix from freezer during
“Closing Procedures”.

Regular Maintenance Checks:

j1. Rotate s craper blades to allow both sides of
the knife edge to wear evenly. This will
contribute to self-sharpening and help
maintainfast, efficient freezing.
j2. Replace scraper blades that are bent,
damaged, or worn down.
j3. Before ins talling beater, be certain that
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 with new
ones.
j5. Check rear shell bearing for signs of wear
(excessive mix leakage in rear drip pan) and
be certain it is properly cleaned.
j6. Using a screwdr iver and cloth towel, keep the
rear shell bearing and the female drive socket
free of lubricant and mix deposits.
j7. Follow all lubricat ing procedures as outlined in
“Assembly”.
j8. On air cooled unit s, check the condenser for
accumulation of dirt and lint. Dirty condensers
will reduce the efficiency and capacity of the
machine. Condensers and filters should be
cleaned monthly. Remove the rear panel to
gain access to the condenser. Use a soft
brush to clean between the fins of the
condenser. Never use screwdrivers or other
metal probes to clean between the fins.
j9. On water cooled units, check the wat er 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.
