With proper daily use of STERA-SHEEN or it’s equivalent, there is no need for the use of a

DELIMER.

DO NOT USE BLEACH

·BLEACH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLEANING PROPERTIES.

·BLEACH IS CORROSIVE. It can and will damage components of the machine causing premature wear and metal corrosion.

GENERALPURPOSECLEANERS

General purpose cleaners do not have the ability to remove milkstone. Milkstone will become a problem if not remedied with additional products and procedures.

THE USE OF CHLORINE TEST STRIPS

“Test strips” are used to determine concentrations of active chlorine in sanitizing solutions. To use the strips, tear off a small portion and submerge it into the sanitizing solution. Then, compare the color change to the color key on the side of the test strip dispenser to determine the approximate chlorine concentration.

The ideal concentration of chlorine needs to be 100 ppm (as stated by the FDA).

NOTE

Follow the directions on the container for proper concentration.

There are two main factors that contribute to falling chlorine concentrations in a sanitizing solution.

1.PRODUCT USE – As the chlorine in the solution is being used, chlorine concentrations fall.

2.TIME – As time passes, small amounts of chlorine “evaporate” from the solution. (That is why you can smell it.)

Sanitizing solutions should not be allowed to fall below 100 ppm chlorine. New solutions should be mixed once old solutions become ineffective

B.DAILY

1.The exterior should be kept clean at all times to preserve the lustre of the stainless steel. A mild alkaline cleaner is recommended. Use a soft cloth or sponge to apply the cleaner.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE ACID CLEANERS, STRONG CAUSTIC COMPOUNDS OR ABRASIVE MATERIALS TO CLEAN ANY PART OF THE FREEZER EXTERIOR OR PLASTIC PARTS.

C.WEEKLY

1.Check O-rings and rear seal for excessive wear and replace if necessary.

2.Remove the drip tray by gently lifting up to disengage from the support and pulling out. Clean behind the drip tray and front of the freezer with a soap solution.

D.QUARTERLY

WARNING

NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON FREEZER UNTIL THE MAIN ELECTRICAL POWER HAS BEEN DISCON- NECTED.

Theair-cooledcondenserisacoppertubeandaluminumfin type. Condensing is totally dependent upon airflow. A plugged condenser filter, condenser, or restrictions in the louvered panel will restrict airflow. This will lower the capacity of the system and damage the compressor.

The condenser must be kept clean of dirt and grease. The freezer must have a minimum of 3” (7.5 cm) of ventilation on the right and left sides of the unit for free flow of air (Figure 27). Make sure the freezer is not pulling over 100° F (37° C) air from other equipment in the area.

The water-cooled condenser is a tube and shell type. The condenser needs a cool, clean supply of water to properly cool the freezer, inlet and discharge lines must be 3/8” I.D. minimum.
