4.3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS BEFORE
STARTING THE MACHINE
Before starting the machine for the first time, it is necessary to thoroughly clean its parts and
above all sanitize all parts coming into contact with the product.
To wash this machine, CATTABRIGA recommends the detergent/sanitizer XSAN. Using XSAN
can optimize the washing and sanitizing process, since it eliminates the need for two stages (i.e.
one rinse and one washing stage). In fact, using XSAN saves you time as well as making wash-
ing/sanitizing procedures both easier and simpler.
HELPFUL HINTS
• Before disassembling the machine, provied yourselves with a plastic pail in which all parts
can be placed. This will greatly reduce the possibility of mislaying or damaging them.
• To WASH the parts utilise water (max 60°C) with a non-aggressive detergent. Do not use hot
water for the plastic parts because they could be damaged.
• Use drinking water to RINSE the parts (bacteriologically pure).
• To SANITISE keep the disassembled parts in an XSAN solution for 10-15 minutes and rinse
them thoroughly before carrying out reassembly.
CAUTION
All cleaning operations to be carried out when machine is not running and disconnected
from the mains (switch open or plug disconnected from the socket).
4.3.1 Preliminary cleanout and sanitizer
1. Turn the selector switch to the ice cream machine positio to make the spatula carrier rod
rise and then stop it at the top dead centre position (refer to section 6.2, point 1) by turning
the selector switch to the STOP Position.
2. Disassemble the parts in contact with ice cream, as described in section 6.
3. Prepare a water-based solution (temperature between 45 and 60°C) of XSAN (concentration
ratio between 1 and 3% according to water hardness).
4. Remove larger residues by hand.
5. Remove finer residues with a jet of water.
6. Soak the parts to be cleaned in the XSAN solution.
7. Leave the solution to act for approximately 10-15 minutes.
8. Rinse the parts carefully, using plenty of drinking water.
