NOTICE: The United States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration require that all cleaning and sanitizing solutions used with food processing equipment be certified for this use.
NOTICE: Refer to local sanitary regulations for applicable codes and recommended sanitizing products and procedures. The frequency of sanitizing must comply with local health regulations.

Sanitizing must be done after the machine is cleaned and just before the machine is filled with mix. Sanitizing the night before is not effective. However, after using the machine, always clean the machine and parts.

  1. Read the instructions for Stera-Sheen® Green Label Sanitizer or equivalent product for creating a 100 ppm strength solution.
  2. Mix the sanitizer in quantities of no less than 2 gallons (7.6 liters) of warm, approximately 90° to 110°F (32° to 43°C) water.
  3. Check the strength of the sanitizing solution. Use a chlorine test strip and color chart to make sure the solution has 100 ppm.
  4. Pour the sanitizing solution into the top of the tank. Place the cover onto the tank and lock the cover.
  5. Turn on the machine.
  6. Press until the display shows:
  7. Product will be ready to serve in 40-60 minutes. The time it takes to be ready is dependent upon many variables including the mix temperature when poured into the tank, the amount of sugars and butterfat in the mix and the TLI setting on the machine.

  5. Turn off and unplug the machine.
  6. Use a mild detergent and warm water to wash the steel tank bottom.

Clean and Sanitize the Components

NOTIC E: Local and state health codes dictate the procedure required. Some health codes require a four-sink process (pre-wash, wash, rinse, sanitize, and air-dry), while other codes require a three-sink process (without the pre-wash step). The following procedure is a general guideline only. Consult your local and state health codes for procedures required in your location.
NOTICE: Do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleansers or scouring pads. These can damage the finish.

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not spray water or cleaning products. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock.
