OWNER’S MANUAL
Manual No. 513629 Rev.2 Oct, 2008

DIPPING
CABINETS
The dipping cabinet allows for the storage of freshly run
custard for use in cones, dishes and other products. The
dipping cabinet features an adjustable digital temperature
controller which holds the custard at a consistent dipping
temperature. The dipping cabinet has four 4.25 gallon
removable square buckets.
This manual is designed to assist in the use of the DC-4,
DC-4T, MDC2, MDC3 and MDC4 dipping cabinets.
CAUTION
Electrical Hazard
Do not operate the dipping cabinet unless the receptacle has an electrical ground. Do not attempt
any repairs unless the power has been disconnected.
CLEANING THE DIPPING CABINET
The frequency of cleaning must comply with local health
regulations. To clean the dipping cabinet, refer to the
following steps:
1. Remove the buckets from the dipping cabinet and
take them to the washing station.
2. Turn the dipping cabinet power switch OFF. This
must be done daily to allow the cabinet to reach
above freezing temperatures.
3. Remove the stainless steel covers and take them
to the washing station.
4. Prepare detergent water by mixing 2 oz. of
Palmolive detergent or equivalent in 2 gallons of
90° to 110°F water.

5. Place the buckets and covers in the detergent
solution. Clean the buckets and covers with a
towel or sponge.
6. Thoroughly wash the dipping cabinet exterior,
bucket well, and trough (if applicable) with a clean
towel and the detergent solution.
7. Rinse all cleaned surfaces with a clean towel and
water. Dry all surfaces with a clean dry towel.
SANITIZING THE DIPPING CABINET
Sanitizing must be done after the dipping cabinet is
cleaned and before any product is added. Sanitizing the
night before is not effective. However, you should always
clean the dipping cabinet and parts after each use.
When sanitizing the dipping cabinet, refer to local sanitary
regulations for applicable codes and recommended sanitizing products and procedures. The frequency of sanitizing must comply with local health regulations.
In general, sanitizing may be conducted as follows:
1. Prepare Stera-Sheen Green Label Sanitizer or
equivalent according to manufacturer’s
instructions to provide a 100 parts per million
strength solution. Mix sanitizer in quantities of no
less than 2 gallons of 90° to 110°F water.
2. Place the cleaned buckets and covers into the
sanitizer solution.
3. With a clean and sanitized towel, wipe the dipping
cabinet exterior, bucket well, and trough.
4. Remove the buckets and covers from the sanitizer
solution and let them air dry.
5. Place the buckets into the well and install the
covers onto the dipping cabinet.
6. Turn the dipping cabinet power switch ON.
NOTE
Allow the dipping cabinet to operate for at least 2
hours prior to adding any custard.
