7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Before undertaking any cleaning and maintenance of external
machine components, make sure that the main switch is posi-
tioned on -0- and that the machine is unplugged.
Before performing any cleaning and maintenance operation on
the machine, wear the personal protections (gloves, glasses,
etc.), which are recommended by the safety standards in force
in the country where the machine is used.
When performing the Cleaning and Maintenance operations, follow these in-
structions:
• wear protection accident-proof gloves;
• do not use solvents or infl ammable materials;
• do not use abrasive and/or metal sponges to clean the machine and its compo-
nents;
• take care to avoid dispersing liquids in the surrounding area;
• do not wash granita machine components in a dishwasher;
• do not dry parts of the granita machine in a conventional and/or microwave
oven;
• do not immerse the machine in water;
• do not expose the granita machine to direct sprays of water;
• for cleaning use only lukewarm water and a suitable sanitizing agent comply-
ing with 21CFR1781010 (in accordance with current regulations in the user’s
country) that will not risk damaging machine components;
• on completing work, make sure that all protective covers and guards that have
been removed or opened are set back in place and properly secured.
Cleaning and sanitization are operations that must be performed with utmost
care and on a regular basis to guarantee the quality of the beverages dispensed
and compliance with mandatory hygiene standards.
The minimum cleaning and sanitizing frequencies shall be in compliance with
the regulation specifi ed by federal, states or local regolatory agency having
jurisdiction.
The bowl must be cleaned and sanitized at least once a day and
in any case, in compliance with the current hygiene regulations in
the country of use. These operations need to be performed more
frequently if demanded by the characteristics of the product used; for more
details, contact the product supplier. If the machine is not used continuously
throughout the day, wipe the dispensing tap area and the product outlet pipe
with a clean cloth and sanitizing fl uid, as illustrated in the fi gure below.
The stainless materials, plastic and rubber used to manufacture
said parts, as well as their particular shape, make them easy to
clean but do not prevent the build-up of germs and mold in the
event of inadequate cleaning.
It is forbidden to clean or service the machine when it is plugged
in and the main switch is positioned on -1- .

Before proceeding with cleaning the tank, empty the tank of the product that
was previously prepared.
If the bowl is to be cleaned prior to the fi rst use of the machine, it need not
be emptied. In such a case refer directly to section 7.2.
