Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions

wWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Do not immerse motor housing, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

General Cleaning with the Attachment in Place

Between batches, clean the cutting blades by running the unit in a washing solution*, then rinsing the attachment in clear water as follows:

1.Make sure the mixer is off and unplugged.

2.Rinse the stainless steel exterior of the attachment under running water. Flush and/or scrub to remove as much food residue as possible.

3.Wipe down the motor housing with a clean, damp cloth. Take care not to allow water to enter the motor vents. Dry with a soft cloth.

4.Plug in the unit, immerse the attachment approximately 1/2 of the length of the stainless steel portion in a container of warm (less than 115° F, 46° C) washing solution*, and run on high speed for two minutes.

5.Unplug the unit and repeat steps 3 and 4 using clean rinse water (95° F, 35° C) in place of the washing solution.

* Use 1 drop of household dishwashing liquid per 16 oz. (1/2 liter) water or the equivalent.

Attachment may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Sanitizing

If the immersion mixer will not be used again within one hour, sanitize in the following manner:

1.Wash as instructed in “General Cleaning with the Attachment in Place”.

2.Immerse attachment approximately 1/2 of the length of the stainless steel portion in a container of a cold chlorine-based sanitizing solution that has a minimum chlorine concentration of 100 parts per million. (See recommended solution below.) Operate unit on high speed for two minutes.

3.Do not rinse. Allow unit to air dry before use.

Weekly Attachment Cleaning

Once every week, stand the attachment, blade down, in 3 inches of boiling water for one minute. Wear protective gloves when removing attachment from water as it will be hot. Allow to air dry.

Recommended Sanitizing Solution

The sanitizing solution should consist of one tablespoon of household bleach per one gallon

of clean, cool water (60° F, 16° C) mixed according to the instructions on the bleach. When using a sanitizing solution other than that recommended, the sanitizing solution concentration should be tested using commercially available test strips and should indicate a chlorine concentration between 100 and 200 parts per million.

Autoclave

The stainless steel shaft/blade assembly can be steam sterilized using an autoclave. Refer to the autoclave equipment supplier and facility operating instructions if this method is used. The frequency of sterilization is determined by each user’s “best prac- tices”; however, replace the assembly once it has been sterilized 500 times.

DO NOT use this method for the motor unit.
