Cleaning & Sanitizing the
Concentrate Lines & Valves:
a. Prepare 5 gallons (19 L) of Stera-Sheen®
Green Label cleaning and sanitizing solution by
mixing one 2 oz. packet/1 gallon (3.8 L) of
potable water. This will provide enough
sanitizing solution to clean and sanitize all 6
concentrate circuits for most installations.
Installations that have 50 or more feet of
concentrate line may require more sanitizing
solution.
IMPORTANT
Use potable water at 80oF-100oF (26.7 oC-26.7
oC) to create solution. Water temperatures above
this range will breakdown the chlorine count and
minimize sanitation.
b. Submerse the bag connector and bag valve
assembly into the bucket of sanitizing solution.
c. Depress and hold the dispense button until
sanitizing solution is dispensed through the
mixing valves nozzle.
d. Pulse each valve for 15 seconds on and then
release the button. Repeat this pulsing for 15
cycles for each circuit being sanitized. Once the
15 cycles have been completed, allow the
sanitizing solution to stand in the product lines
and valves for 30 minutes.
e. While waiting, remove the nozzles and static
mixers and place them into a separate container
with 2 qts. (1.9 L) of sanitizing solution. Agitate
vigorously using the small brush to remove any
excess concentrate. Allow the parts to soak for
30 minutes.
f. Clean the dispensing valves mixing chamber
with the brush and sanitizing solution (this is the
cavity from which the nozzle is removed).
g. Replace the nozzles and static mixers into
their proper locations and discard the sanitizing
solution used to soak them in.
Note: Do not reuse the sanitizing solution used
to clean the nozzles, static mixers, etc.
h. Activate the dispensing valves for two more
cycles (15 seconds on then off) with sanitizing
solution then run solution continuously through
the dispensing valves for 2 minutes.
i. Disconnect the bag valves from the gray bag
connectors and re-connect the bag connectors to
their appropriate product bags.
j. Depress and hold each dispense button until
juice appears at the outlet of the dispensing
nozzle. Dispense and discard two 8 oz. (237 ml)
cups of juice and verify that there is no chlorine
off taste.
Daily Cleaning and
Maintenance
a. On a daily basis, clean the external cabinet
splash areas using a clean damp cloth. Remove
and wash the cup rest, dispensing nozzles, and
static mixers with clean water. Wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
b. Wipe the drip tray in place on the unit, wash
the tray out with a mild soap solution, then rinse
the tray by pouring water down the drip tray’s
drain.
c. Clean all external surfaces of the dispenser
with a sponge and a mild soap solution. Rinse the
sponge out with clean water, then wring the
excess water from the sponge and wipe all
external surfaces of the dispenser.
d. Wipe the dispenser dry with a clean soft
cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE TYPE
CLEANERS. Install the cup rest, dispensing
nozzles, and static mixers on the dispenser.
Maintenance of the
Refrigeration System
Cleaning of the refrigeration components
should be performed by a qualified service
technician.
Continuous maintenance of this dispenser is a
basic requirement for proper operation and
sanitation, including all support equipment
utilized in the daily operation of this equipment.
Cleaning of the Refrigeration
Components:
Disconnect the power before removing the top
bonnet of the dispenser.
