CLEANING

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING OR SERVICING THIS MACHINE.

In any cleaning operation after disconnecting the electrical power supply, seal the receptacle to prevent entrance of moisture. To make this seal on Hobart supplied receptacles and pendant connectors, place the cover cap into position and turn the screw type sealing ring clockwise.

Remove the following components when cleaning: Mixing arm, adjusting ring, knife, plate, worm and cylinder (also the side feed hopper plug, when used). The method for removing these components has already been described (refer to Grinder Attachment, page 7). The mixing arm seal (Fig. 3) at the drive end of the mixing arm should be removed by hand for cleaning. Grasp the outer flange or use a dull screwdriver tip and pull the seal out. Also, an accessory tool is available to assist in removal and reassembly of the mixing arm seal.

The machine can be washed down with hot water or steam as is customary in meat processing operations. When using detergents and sanitizers, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clear water. Allow to air dry. After cleaning the machine, reassemble the mixing arm seal, mixing arm, and bushing retainer.

After cleaning, a light coat of food grade mineral oil is recommended for the cylinder, adjusting ring, knife, plate, and worm — before reassembly.
