CAUTION
Do not use any type of sharp object to remove O-
rings. Using tools to remove O-rings may damage
spigot and O-rings.
3.9 CLEANING THE FREEZER PARTS
Place all loose parts in a pan or container and take to
the wash sink for cleaning. To clean freezer parts refer
to the following steps:
A. Place all parts in warm mild detergent water and
clean with brushes provided. Rinse all parts with
clean hot water.
B. Wash the hopper and freezer barrel with warm
detergent water and brushes provided.
C. Clean the rear seal surfaces from the inside of the
freezer barrel with warm detergent water.
NOTE
Clean the auger drive socket located inside the
barrel at the rear seal area. Use clean cloth or
paper towel for this purpose.
D. Clean the drip trays and insert with a soap solution.
Rinse with clean hot water.
3.10 SANITIZE FREEZER AND FREEZER PARTS
A. Use a sanitizer mixed according to manufacturer’s
instructions to provide a 100 parts per million
strength solution. Mix sanitizer in quantities of no
less than 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of 120°F water. Allow
the sanitizer to contact the surfaces to be sanitized
for 5 minutes. Any sanitizer must be used only in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
B. Place all parts in the sanitizing solution, then remove
and let air dry.
C. Using this sanitizing solution and the large barrel
brush provided, sanitize the rear of the barrel and
drive area by dipping the brush in the sanitizing
solution and brushing the rear of the barrel.
3.11 ASSEMBLY OF FREEZER
To assemble the freezer parts, refer to the following
steps:
NOTE
Petrol-Gel sanitary lubricant or equivalent must
be used when lubrication of parts is specified.
NOTE
The United States Department of Agriculture and
Food and Drug Administration require that
lubricants used on food processing equipment
be certified for this use. Use lubricants only in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
A. Assemble all o-rings onto parts dry, without lubrica-
tion. Then apply a thin film of sanitary lubrication to
exposed surfaces of the O-rings. Apply a thin film
of sanitary lubricant to metal part of rear seal. Also
apply a thin film of sanitary lubricant inside the hole
of the front of the auger.
B. Assemble the rear seals onto the augers with the
large end to the rear. Be sure the O-ring is in place
before installing the rear seal.
C. Lubricate the inside of the auger drive sockets (rear)
with a small amount of white socket lubricant. A
small container of socket lubricant is shipped with
the freezer.
G. Remove the auger assemblies from the freezer. Pull
the augers out of the freezer barrel slowly. As the
augers are being pulled out, carefully remove each of
the plastic flights with springs.
H. Keep the rear of the auger shafts tipped up once they
are clear of the freezer barrels to avoid dropping rear
seals.
I. Wipe socket lubricant from the drive end (rear) of the
auger with a cloth or paper towel.
J. Remove the rear seals.
K. Remove all O-rings from parts by first wiping off the
lubricant using a clean paper towel. Then squeeze the
O-ring upward with a dry cloth (Fig. 24). When a loop
is formed, roll out of the O-ring groove.
