CLEANING STEPS
1. USE OF CLEANING SOLUTIONS: It is important to be aware of the effects certain cleaning
products have on stainless steel and aluminum components.
Cleaners with excessive chlorine can damage the outer layer of stainless steel and
corrode it thus allowing it to rust.
2. RECOMENDATIONS: Do not pressure wash or run liquids over the machine. The machine is
designed to withstand indirect contact with water and liquids, such as splashing and damp
cleaning clothes. Avoid exposing the machine to water. If cleaning other equipment near the
machine, ensure that the machine is covered with an industrial water proof cover.
3. START: Begin by turning off the machine. Turn the Main Power Switch located on the Control Box
to the off position. Ensure that all components are cool to the touch before continuing.
When unplugging the machine, ensure that the power plug is carefully covered in order to
avoid exposure to moisture.
4. REMOVE AND CLEAN FOOD CONTACT COMPONENTS: Open the machine’s doors and
remove food contact components to clean them individually and away from the machine.
5. DISLODGE DEBRIS: Open the machine’s doors and use compressed air to dislodge debris from
components and clean the electrical panel.
6. INNER WORKINGS: The inside of this machine is not designed to be washed down with a low
or high-pressure water hose; do not expose the machine to water (such as pouring water over the
machine.) Clean all metal surfaces thoroughly to remove any contaminants.
7. SEALING JAWS: Clean Horizontal Jaw’s knife and remove any plastic residue. Note that the
sealing knife is nickel plated carbon steel. Stainless steel knives are available, however they are
less durable.
Please wait until the Sealing Jaws are cool before cleaning them.
Do not brush the jaws as it will cause damage to the plating.
8. SENSORS: Carefully clean the sensor. Avoid using cleaning materials that could damage the
surface view of the sensor. Wipe down all sensors with a damp soft cloth. Immediately dry the
sensors to prevent water spots. Use soft cleaning materials and non-corrosive cleaning products.
9. DRY COMPONENTS: Dry all components with a clean, dry cloth. No water spots should remain
on the machine. Leftover cleaning solution can cause damage to stainless steel surfaces.
10. REINSTALL COMPONENTS: Once cleaning is completed, reinstall all components.
11. END: Reconnect machine’s power plug if necessary. The machine is now ready to be powered
and run.
