and the patrons serve themselves. The MSs are
responsible for preparing the ice-cream mix and cleaning
and sanitizing the machine. It is a must that the machine
be sanitized before and after each use. Follow the
procedures of operation according to the technical manual
or the operation procedures posted next to the machine.

cleaning the machine are very important. The
procedures are as follows:
1. Empty freezer and flush with cold water until
water runs clear.
2. Rinse again with warm water (120°F).
3. Place 1 gallon of hand-dishwashing detergent
and water (140°F) solution into the hopper. Move the
switch to the WASH position and operate for 2 minutes.
Draw off water solution.
4. Rinse the interior of the machine with clean
water.
5. Remove all detachable parts, freezer door
assembly, and drawoff plunger, beater, blades, and
beater drive shaft, mix feed assembly, and hopper cover
assembly.
6. Wash all parts in detergent solution and brush all
surfaces.
Brush inside of freezing cylinder; pay
particular attention to the back wall and shaft
connection. Rinse all parts thoroughly and allow them
to air dry.
7. Store all clean parts in a clean storage area until
