5.4 Long Term (Unit):
As time permits (monthly), sanitize the blend station utilizing the steps below.
The best time to perform this cleaning is either before or after work hours when
you have plenty of time. Mix up 2-5 gallons of sanitizer solution per the manu-
facturer’s directions.
BLEND STATION:
Remove the blender jar from the blender station (empty if needed).
Using a mild soapy solution, wipe down all surfaces of the blend station.
Use a damp cloth to remove the soap from the surfaces of the blend station.
Avoid getting excess water on the motor.
To sanitize the surfaces of the blend station either spray or wipe the surfaces
of the blend station with the sanitizing solution.
Remove the blend station door by opening the door and gently lifting it off
the hinges (do not lose the small plastic washers). Wash the door in the sink
and allow to air dry.
Dry any water off the blender motor area and replace the blender door.
Avoid getting liquids directly on the motor (the area where the jar shaft con-
nects to the motor).
PRODUCT TUBES:
There are two options to sanitize product lines. The first is to use the sanitizing
cycle built into the machine; the second is a simpler method using the JUICE
button. You may use either one depending on preference; the beginning steps
are the same.
Disconnect all product bags from the product lines.
Place an empty blender jar in the blend station.
Empty each product line by pressing the number of the pump (1-8) and then
holding the juice button down. This will remove the bulk of the remaining
product from the machine. Be sure that the blender jar does not overflow.
Disconnect all product bag connectors from the product lines. You
will want to have a bucket or empty blender jar to capture any
product that leaks back out of the tubes.
Place the product bag connectors in the sink to soak in a sanitizing solution.
Mix up a solution of hot soapy water.
Place the ends of the product tubes into the soapy solution.
Method 1 Sanitizing Cycle:
To clean the tubes, run the soapy solution by pressing 9-8-0-GO. This
cycle will clean two product tubes at a time. The beginning screen will read
“CLEAN 1 2 READY”. Press GO to activate the cycle. Pumps 1 and 2 will
run approximately 12 seconds, each dispensing the soapy water into the
empty blender jar. Ensure that the jar does not overfill!
Once the wash cycle is done, the screen will read “CLEAN 3 4 READY”. Make
sure the blender jar is empty and press GO. Pumps 3 and 4 will run. Repeat
for all 8 product tubes.
Retrieve a container (bucket) of clear rinse water.
Place all eight ends of the product tubes into the bucket of water.
To run the cycle to rinse, press 9-8-0-GO. This cycle will rinse two product
