CLEANING
WARNING: UNPLUG CHOPPER POWER CORD BEFORE CLEANING.
The chopper must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after installation and before being placed into service.
Cleaning Supplies (Not Provided)
Recommended cleaning and sanitizing supplies include:
•A 12" handle nylon brush that will slide through the cylinder
•A two compartment pail for cleaning solutions
•A pail for sanitizing solution
•A scrap pail
•Clean cloths
•A spray bottle
NOTE: When using detergents and sanitizers, follow manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clean water.
Prepare a hot detergent solution in one side of the two compartment pail. Fill the other compartment with warm potable rinse water.
Mix a sanitizing solution by adding one tablespoon of sodium hypochlorite bleach (5.25%) to one gallon of water in a pail. This makes a 200 ppm solution. Use this solution to fill the spray bottle as well as the pail for sanitizing.
Thoroughly clean and sanitize the feed pan, feed stomper, chopper cylinder assembly, worm assembly, knife, plate, adjusting ring and machine housing. Refer to Fig. 1 for component identification.
NOTE: After cleaning, apply a light coat of food grade mineral oil to the cylinder, adjusting ring, knife, plate and worm before reassembly.
