CAUTION: To minimize the possibility of damaging the surface of the painted tower care
must be taken when choosing a cloth. The cloth must be of clean cotton with a deep nap,
or equivalent. If a damp cloth is instructed to use, it must be rinsed out in clean water, the
damp or the dry cloth must be manually fluffed to a softened consistency before using to wipe or
polish the painted tower.
D. For the painted tower, (rather than a stainless steel tower) the painted surface may be cleaned using
mild detergents or most house hold cleaners like “ Fantastik or Mr. Clean”. After cleaning, wipe entire
exterior of the tower with a damp cloth. (Do not use strong soaps, abrasive cleaners or any
cleaner that contains Alcohol) Dry the tower with a clean cloth.
E. The painted tower surface may be waxed after cleaning using “Simoniz” paste wax, Aero Wax or Glo-
Coat. After applying wax, buff the surface with a clean dry cloth to a high luster finish.
2. Clean Dispensing Valves, Post-Mix
A. Remove the valve cover(s) and wash in plain water.
B. Remove the nozzle and the syrup diffuser and wash the parts in plain water.
IMPORTANT: When washing the dispensing valve, care must be taken not to get water on the electrical solenoid.
C. Hold an appropriate container under the dispensing valve. Being very careful not to get water on the
electrical solenoid, slowly pour plain water over the dispensing valve.
D. Install the nozzle and syrup diffuser on the valve.
E. Install the valve cover(s).
3. Clean Dispensing Valves, Pre-Mix
A. Pour clean water over the valve to rinse away any
sticky residue.
B. Using a small round nylon bristle brush, clean the valve spout with plain water.
C. Dry the valve with a clean dry cloth.
4. Clean and Sanitize Ice Bin, Drains and Drip Tray
IMPORTANT: Only trained and qualified persons should perform these cleaning and sanitizing
procedures.
Sanitizing Solution - Household liquid bleech that contains 5.25% sodium hypochlorit concentration, (such as
Hi-Lex or Chlorox).
Prepare the sanitizing solution by mixing 0.5-ounces of household bleech to one gallion of potable water. This
mixture must not exceed 200 PPM of chorine, allowable by the FDA. Use this mixture for all sanitizing procedures.
A. Remove all ice from the ice bin and melt any remaining ice with hot water.
B. Remove ice bin drain strainer by lifting straight up.
C. Prepare a mild detergent solution in 120 F potable water.
DO NOT use water hotter than 120F
D. Using a nylon bristle brush (Do Not use a wire brush), clean the cold plate and the interior of the ice
bin with the detergent solution.
E. Pour the remainder of the detergent solution down the drip tray and bin drains. Observe that the solu-
tion flows freely. If not, determine the cause. It may be necessary to replace the drain tubing.

drains. After the has completely drained, pour the remaining solution down the drains.
G. Replace the drain strainer.
H. Using a mechanical spray bottle, prepare sanitizing solution and spray the entire interior bin surfaces.
Allow to air dry.
5. Sanitize Tank Systems, Post-Mix and Pre-Mix
A. Remove all ice from the ice bin and melt any remaining ice with hot water.
B. Remove all the quick disconnects from all the tanks.
C. Prepare a mild detergent soap solution in 100 F potable water in a suitable pail or bucket.
D. Submerge all disconnects (gas and liquid) in the soap solution and then clean them using a nylon
bristle brush (Do Not use a wire brush). Rinse with clean water.
E. Prepare sanitizing solution and using a mechanical spray bottle, spray the disconnects. Allow to air
dry.
F. Using a clean, empty tank, prepare five gallons of sanitizing solution. Rinse the tank disconnects with
approximately 9 oz. of the sanitizing solution. Close the tank.
G. Connect a gas disconnect to the tank and then apply one of the product tubes to the tank of sanitizing
solution. Operate the appropriate valve until the sanitizing solution is flowing from the valve.
H. Repeat the step above, applying a different product tube each time until all tubes are filled with the
sanitizing solution.
I. For post-mix valves, remove the nozzle and syrup diffuser and clean them in a mild detergent soap
solution. Rinse with clean water and reassemble the nozzle and syrup diffuser to
the valve.
J. For pre-mix valves, disconnect all product tubes from the tank of sanitizing solution and then open the
valves to allow the pressure to be relieved. Remove the valves from the dispenser, disassemble and
wash thoroughly in a mild detergent soap solution.
K. Rinse the parts in clean water, reassemble the valve and reconnect it to the dispenser.
L. Allow the sanitizing solution to remain in the tubes for the manufacturer’s recommended exposure
time.
M. Discard the tank of sanitizing solution and connect the disconnects to a tank of potable water. Operate
the valves until all sanitizer has been flushed from the system and only water
is flowing.
