CLEANING THE SYSTEM
NOTE: NEVER SPRAY MATILDA® WITH WATER!!
Serious Electrical System Damage can
occur and will void your warranty.
Be sure to DISCONNECT FROM POWER BEFORE cleaning.
HELPFUL TIP: Always keep the doors closed to prevent flies, insects, Matilda® must
be cleaned periodically. We recommend every few days, but it depends on
contamination due to dirty bags, broken bags and poor water quality.
Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or solutions. Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, organic
solvents, or potassium hydroxide
1. Begin by lifting both lids and remove the wire baskets from each side. The baskets can then be
cleaned outside of the unit with a soft brush and disinfectants.
2. Lift the drain handle, turn it 90°, then lower it into the collar to lock it open while the contents
drain out the back of the machine.
3. Perform a warm water rinse to remove dirt and grime.
4. Once the surfaces have been cleaned, perform a final hot water rinse.
5. Periodically, but at least monthly, utilize a sanitizing/disinfecting product like Effercept® to
destroy any biofilm that may be developing on the surfaces of the equipment. Make sure that
the product is safe for plastic surfaces. Spray generously and allow to air dry.
Air Filters
Matilda® has 4 air filters that are located in her
bottom enclosure panel. We recommend that you
clean these filters when you clean Matilda®.
1. After you have finished cleaning Matilda®,
and BEFORE filling her with water, tip her up
to reveal the Bottom Enclosure Panel.
2. Remove the 4 air filters and remove
anything that restricts air flow.
3. Rinse the air filters with clean water and re-
install.
Once the unit is dry and clean, lower the drain and
turn the machine on so it can once again fill with
water and prepare itself for use.
Terminal Blocks
Annually have a qualified electrician inspect and
tighten the screws in the terminal blocks in the
back of Matilda. Make sure power is completely
disconnected before opening the electrical access panel.
