A preventive maintenance visit should be performed every 3

months. Failure to complete PM’s every 3 months is considered abuse of the machine, and therefore voids the war- ranty. Proof of PM must be documented with Grindmaster Corporation to maintain warranty coverage. To document your PM, complete this form with signatures, place used/worn parts that were replaced during the PM inside enve- lope, and mail to Grindmaster Corporation. Parts returned should include 2 spindle bushing evaporator seals, 2 rub- ber bell shaped shaft seals, valve o-rings and shafts (if applicable).

The following procedures should be performed during a Preventative Maintenance visit, using PM kit # 90104:

Document model and serial number of equipment and record above.

Check product temperature and consistency for proper setting - adjust if necessary.

Insure product is being mixed properly and is within specification (check and document brix - most products should be around 13% - refer to product manufacturer’s recommendations for exact recommended brix). Record Brix reading here: Left Bowl _____ Right Bowl _____

Check for leaks at gaskets, o-rings, front shaft seal, etc. Empty product from bowls.

Disassemble unit completely.

Clean and sanitize all disassembled parts. Clean and sanitize top tray and freezing barrel.

Clean out condensation tube with sanitizer and long brush. Check condition of all panels, bowls, lids - replace if necessary.

Check mixing rods and augers for wear, check mixing rod bearing for wear - replace if necessary. Check for bowl knobs (two per bowl to lock down bowl in front) - replace if necessary.

Check operation of lights in lid and rear of unit (if equipped) - replace light bulbs if necessary.

Clean re-usable air filter if so equipped (standard on G & MG models, optional on ID models). Check condition of filter and replace if necessary.

Clean condenser.

Check condition of bowl gasket and replace if necessary. Replace all o-rings on dispense valves and lubricate.

Check drive shaft. If surface is not smooth or the drive shaft is not secure (excessive movement in and out) use PM kit #90110, or 90110B in place of 90104 above.

Replace spindle bushing seal in front of evaporator using extraction tool.

Replace bell shaped rubber shaft seal on front of freezing barrel (generously lubricate inside seal)

Lubricate parts where appropriate (dispense valve o-rings, inside of shaft seal, inner rim of bowl where it meets with the bowl seal)

Re-assemble unit and refill with product

Verify and document defrost timer setting and operation and time of day setting and adjust if necessary. Check thermostat setting on ID and MG models. Thermostat setting should be between 1-1/2 and 2. Verify compressor operation and freezer controller operation.

Verify ventilation is adequate (8” on both sides and back). Check electrical connections and wiring.

Check fan operation (1 condenser fan and 2 gear motor fans) and clean fan or blades if necessary. Review proper periodic care and cleaning instructions (disassembly, cleaning, sanitizing, lubrication and

re-assembly) with store personnel. Review proper product mixing and handling instructions with store personnel. Demonstrate and train store personnel to follow proper procedures (stress importance of store level

maintenance such as lubrication and filter cleaning).

Make sure store personnel have appropriate supplies (lubricant and sanitizer) to care for machine.

The Grindmaster lineup, which includes models MG236-2B, MG23-2B, G236-2B, G23-2B, and MG235-2B, represents a significant advancement in commercial coffee grinding technology. These machines are designed for high-performance grinding capabilities in coffee shops, cafes, and other businesses that require consistent and efficient results.

One of the defining features of the Grindmaster MG236-2B and its counterparts is their superior grinding consistency. Each model is engineered to produce uniform particle sizes, which is essential for optimal extraction during brewing. This consistency not only enhances flavor but also ensures that customers receive a high-quality coffee experience every time.

These machines are equipped with advanced grinding technology, including high-quality burr grinders that effectively reduce heat generation during operation. This is critical as excessive heat can negatively impact the flavor and aroma of the coffee beans. The functionality focused on maintaining the integrity of the coffee's essential oils, allowing baristas to extract the best flavors from their beans.

Durability is another hallmark of the Grindmaster MG series. Made from robust materials and designed for heavy-duty use, these grinders can withstand the rigors of a busy commercial environment. The models are also easy to clean and maintain, featuring accessible components that simplify routine servicing.

User-friendliness is considered in their design. Each model comes with intuitive controls that allow baristas to adjust grind settings easily. This flexibility helps in catering to various brewing methods, from fine grinds for espresso to coarser settings for French press or pour-over brewing.

Moreover, the Grindmaster MG236-2B and similar models are designed to minimize noise during operation, which is a crucial feature for maintaining a pleasant atmosphere in customer-facing environments.

In addition to these personal features, the Grindmaster lineup also emphasizes energy efficiency. The machines are designed to consume minimal power without compromising performance, making them a cost-effective choice for businesses aiming at sustainability.

Overall, the Grindmaster MG236-2B, MG23-2B, G236-2B, G23-2B, and MG235-2B models represent cutting-edge technology in coffee grinding. Their combination of consistency, durability, user-friendliness, and energy efficiency makes them ideal for any coffee-centric business looking to elevate their brewing game and provide an exceptional coffee experience for their customers.
