ORIGINAL spare parts.

It is advisable to make the machine be checked by a Customer Service every 6/8 months.

6.1.1 CLEANING AND SANITIZATION

Bacteria and moulds easily proliferate due to the presence of fats in cream, that is why it is necessary to carefully wash and clean all parts in contact with the product, such as the cylinder, the agitator and the door.

Rustless materials and/or made of plastic for food industry used for our machines, in conformity with the most severe international standards, make washing operations easier, however they cannot prevent mould proliferation, etc. caused by insufficient cleaning.

TAYLOR COMPANY recommends cleaning the tank and the parts in contact with the product after the employment and in any case in compliance with the sanitary standards in force in the country of installation. To thoroughly clean your batch freezer, proceed as follows:

1.Pour 4.2 quart (4 litres) of clean cold water into the cylinder.

2.Press the DELIVERY pushbutton and make the machine run for a few minutes. Press STOP and run off the washing water. Repeat the operation until the water coming out of the cylinder is clean.

3.Pour 4.2 quart (4 litres) of detergent solution/sanitizer into the cylinder.

4.Press the DELIVERY pushbutton and make the machine run for a few minutes. Then press STOP and run off the detergent solution.

5.Dismantle the door. To do this, turn the lever upwards, make the door rotate towards the left and holding it with a hand, remove the hinged knob with the other hand. At this point the door can be disassembled.

6. Dismantle the door into pieces:

???Unscrew the handle adjusting knob

???Remove the handle

???Remove the delivery door and the spring

???Draw the OR rings out

7.Pull the agitator and the stuffing box out: remove the scraping pads and wash them thoroughly. Use the cleaning rod to clean the pads seats on the agitator.

8.Accurately sanitize the cooling cylinder.

9.Remove the drip drawer from the side panel and thoroughly wash it. If the drip drawer contains some misture, the agitator stuffing box is leaking and shall be replaced.

10.Lubricate the OR rings and the stuffing box lubricant for food industry only. Once a week, it is advisable to rotate the agitator stuffing box so that the rubber elasticity can be recovered.

-To preserve plastic components and gaskets, never use solvents and/or diluents during washing.

-Sanitizing chemicals shall be used according to laws in force and with the utmost caution.

-After any sanitizing operation, it is indispensable not to touch the sterilized parts either with hands or with towels, sponges or other.

-Avoid making the agitator run empty, as the machine can be damaged.

6.1.2 MAINTENANCE OF AGITATOR AND GASKETS

The agitator blades are equipped with scraping pads made of atoxic plastic materials suitable for food industry. These components are subject to wear according to the characteristics of the employed mixture: with high sugar content and low fat percentage a remarkable wear of pads can be the detected.

When the clearance between the pads and the cylinder is excessive, the agitator is no more able to perfectly scrap the cooling cylinder walls resulting in an extention of batch freezing times. To restore the machine performance, it is sufficient to replace the scraping pads.

6.1.3 REFRIGERATING UNIT

In case of machine provided with air condenser, it is necessary to periodically clean the condenser fins from the dirtiness sucked in by the fan motor, which can obstruct it and considerably reduce its efficiency.

To clean the condenser, make use of a brush or an exhauster.
