Daily Closing Procedures

This procedure must be performed once daily!

The function of the Heat Treatment Cycle is to destroy bacteria by raising the temperature of the mix in the freezing cylinder and the hopper to a specified temperature for a specified period of time, and then bringing the temperature back down low enough to retard spoilage.

The Heat Treatment Cycle will start at the time designated in the Auto Heat Time.

IMPORTANT: The level of mix in the mix hopper(s) must be up to the fill line on the agitator paddle(s). (The mix low light must not be on.) Note: If the BRUSH CLEAN COUNTER display has counted down to one day, do not add mix. The machine must be disassembled and brush cleaned within 24 hours.

The freezer must be in the AUTO (AUTO symbol illuminated) or in the STANDBY mode (STANDBY

symbol illuminated) before the HEAT cycle may be started.

Step 1

Remove the hopper cover(s), drip pan(s), front drip tray, and the splash shield. Take them to the sink for cleaning and sanitizing.

MAKE SURE YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN AND SANITIZED BEFORE PERFORMING THESE NEXT STEPS.

Step 2

Remove the air orifice(s), the feed tube assembly(lies), and the agitator(s) from the mix hopper(s). Take these parts to the sink for cleaning and sanitizing.

Step 3

Rinse these parts in cool, clean water.

Step 4

Prepare a small amount of an approved 100 PPM cleaning/sanitizing solution (examples: Kay-5® or Stera-Sheen®). USE WARM WATER AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. Brush clean the parts.

Step 5

Place the front drip tray, splash shield, and air orifice(s) on a clean, dry surface to air-dry overnight or until the heating cycle is complete.

Step 6

Prepare a small amount of an approved 100 PPM cleaning/sanitizing solution (examples: Kay-5® or Stera-Sheen®). USE WARM WATER AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. Sanitize the drip pans, feed tube assembly(ies), agitator(s) and hopper cover(s).

Step 7

Install the agitator(s) back onto the agitator drive shaft housing(s).

CAUTION: Be sure agitator(s) are installed and switch is in the AUTO or STANDBY mode or the unit will not have a successful heat cycle.

Step 8

Install the feed tube assembly(ies). Lift and turn the inner feed tube of each assembled feed tube so the pin rests on top of the outer feed tube. This will close the hole in the assembled feed tubes, preventing mix in the hopper(s) from entering the freezing cylinder(s) during the Heating and Standby process.
