CARING FOR YOUR MACHINE
IMPORTANT NOTES!
CLEANING AND SANITIZING PRODUCTS:
•Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or concentrated bleach when cleaning.
•Do not use any cleaners containing Quatinary Sanitizers on
polycarbonate components.
•Follow cleaner/sanitizer manufacturer’s specifications and instructions.
•Local codes should be followed for cleaning/sanitizing equipment.
Permanent Agitators
1. Fill a durable square or rectangular container to within 1 in. / 3 cm from the top with
hot (110°F / 43°C) water containing mild liquid detergent (1 oz. per qt. / 30 ml per Ltr.).
The container must be deep enough to submerge the entire agitator and the shaft.
2. Hold the container up around the agitator and shaft, all the way up to the bottom
of the motor chamber, and turn the machine on. Run for about 15 seconds. Repeat
several times. Make sure all portions of the shaft which contact food have been
submerged. (Moving Splash Guard must be removed for this cleaning operation.)
3. Repeat step 2, except use rinse water.
4. Repeat step 2, except use an approved 100 ppm sanitizing solution and cleaner and
run agitator and shaft under solution for a minimum of two minutes.
5. Resanitize at the start of the day.
Removable/Reusable Agitator
1. Remove agitator from machine. Wash in warm soapy water.
2. Rinse clean.
3. Sanitize as necessary.
4. Dry and reassemble. NOT recommended for dishwasher. Excessive commercial
dishwasher heat may slightly bend the removable agitator which could cause
unbalance when blending.
Housing
1. Unplug the machine.
2. Remove the Splash Guard and wash in warm soapy water. Rinse clean and sanitize
as necessary. Do not use any abrasive material or paper towels which would scratch
the surface. Also avoid cleaners which contain ammonia (most window cleaners
contain ammonia). NOT recommended for dishwashers.
Countertop Models only: To remove the Splash Guard, squeeze the sides until clear
of the top pivot pins and pull the guard out. To mount the Splash Guard, squeeze the
sides and place onto the top pivot pins. The guard should sit on the bottom pivot pins.
Wall Mount Models only: To remove the moving Splash Guard, squeeze the travel
rods together and slide the guard down. To mount the moving Splash Guard, slide the
Splash Guard up over the rods until they snap in place. To clean the travel rods, wipe
with a damp cloth. Do not remove the rods from the mixer.

3. All stainless steel surfaces may be cleaned and disinfected with a commercial
cleaning solution. However, do not spray any water or other fluids into the motor
chamber. Do not use excess liquid around the switches, motor protector, or cord
entry hole. Abrasive cleaners may leave noticeable changes in the surface finish.
Make sure all areas in and around the motor enclosure and machine are dry before
plugging the machine back in.
4. Switches may become sticky from use. Unplug the machine and use a damp cloth,
moistened with water and a mild detergent, to clean around the edges of the switch
paddles until they function freely. Work the switches back and forth a few times to
loosen any dried residue under switch. Leaving switches sticky will damage or burn
out the switches. Clean carefully, using caution not to allow water or other liquids to
infiltrate the switch. Dry with a soft cotton cloth. Make sure switches are dry before
plugging the machine back in.
