SANITIZING
To prevent illness or death caused by the spread of food-borne pathogens,
it is important to properly clean and sanitize the entire slicer as any surface
of the slicer can become contaminated. It is the responsibility of the slicer
owner/operator to follow all guidelines, instructions and laws as established
by your local and state health departments and the manufacturers of chemical
sanitizers.
Once your slicer makes contact with food product, the entire slicer, including
removable parts, must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. This process is
to be repeated at least every 4 hours using these procedures and information;
and comply with additional laws from your state and local health departments.
As with all food contact surfaces, it is extremely important to properly sanitize
the entire slicer and to closely follow the instructions on your quaternary saniti-
zer container to ensure proper sanitation is achieved to kill potentially harmful
bacteria.
IMPORTANT: If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine or quaternary
ammonium is used, it shall be applied in accordance with the EPA-registered
label use instructions. Excessive amounts of sanitizer and/or use of products
not formulated for stainless steel or aluminum may VOID your warranty.
Sanitizer concentration shall comply with section 4-501.114, Manual and Mechanical Warewashing Equipment, Chemical Sanitization - Temperature, pH,
Concentration, and Hardness of the FDA Food Code.
Maintain the Owner’s Manual supplied with this machine and refer to it often
for complete information on cleaning, sanitizing and maintaining the slicer.
ALWAYS SANITIZE YOUR MACHINE COVERING ALL
THE MACHINE WITH THE PROPER PRODUCT.
