NOTE

Stoelting has found that stera-sheen green label sanitizer and cleaner does an effective job of properly sanitizing and cleaning soft serve freezers. A sample is included with each new freezer. Read directions on packet, for more information. Other products may be as effective.

CAUTION

PROLONGED CONTACT OF SANITIZER WITH FREEZER MAY CAUSE CORROSION OF STAINLESS STEEL PARTS.

ANY DISINFECTANT MUST BE USED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. IN GENERAL, SANITIZING MAY BE CONDUCTED AS FOLLOWS:

A.Clean and lubricate parts.

B.Use a sanitizer mixed according to manufacturer’s instructions to provide a 100 parts per million strength solution. Mix sanitizer in quantities of no less than 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of 120° F water. Allow the sani- tizer to contact the surfaces to be sanitized for 5 minutes.

Sanitizer must be used only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Pour into hopper (hop- per models) or storage container (remote models).

C.Place the mix pump switch in the ON position and open air bleed valve on the front door by pushing valve in and holding. (See Fig.9)

D.Let sanitizing solution fill the freezer barrel to air bleed valve, then close the valve by pulling out to lock in place.

E.Place the MAIN DRIVE switch in the CLEAN position.

F.Check for leaks at three points when the freezer barrel is first pressurized with sanitizing solution.

1.Check for leaks at the plastic front door O-rings may not be sealing.

2.Open access door on the side panel. Make sure the rear seal is not leaking.

3.Check in the hopper (hopper models) to see that no bubbles are around the discharge end of the mix transfer tube.

G.Using a sanitized soft bristle brush or equivalent, dipped in sanitizing solution, clean mix container (remote models) or sides of hopper, exterior of pump, and underside of hopper cover (hopper models).

H.After five minutes, open spigot to expel sanitizing solution. Drain all solution from freezer.

I.Close the spigot and place the mix pump switch and the POWER switch in the OFF position.

The freezer is now sanitized and ready for adding mix.
