Cleaning - ELMECO BLarge Série Manuel D'utilisation Et De Maintenance

Before switching the machine on, it should be cleaned properly
Always comply with the provisions of the local authorities in charge regarding the
cleaning of the machine.
Daily clean and sanitize the machine.
Before carrying out whatever operation, switch off the machine (page 19 pos. G) and
unplug it (pic.3 pag.20).
Use a solution of warm water and sodium hypochlorite (bleach) with the following
proportion: 10 grams (1/2 tea spoon) for each liter of water. Rinse with warm water.
A greater quantity of bleach could damage the augers.
If the plastic parts are dishwashed, ensure the temperature is not higher than 60°C or
140°F, because they could be damaged.
Do not use abrasive powder.
It is recommended to clean the filter at least once a week.
Cleaning is very important if you want the machine to last longer; it is therefore useful to periodically wash all parts in
contact with the product, using the following procedure:
Please see the pictures at pages 64-65 of this instruction manual:
- Use disposable gloves;
- Open the tap in order to empty the tank. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator in special tanks if allowed by the
local authorities in charge;
- Remove the cover, as illustrated in pic.2-3-4-5;
- Pour water in the tank and empty it again;
- Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the electric network;
- Remove the tap from the tank as illustrated in pic.6-7-8-9;
- Remove the hooks grips, if present;
- Open the groups as illustrated in pic.10 and lift the tank as in pic.11-12;
- Remove condensate drip tray placed on the top of the front panel as shown in pic.13;
- Remove the horizontal and vertical augers as shown in pic.14-15-16-17;
- Dip all parts in a solution of warm water and bleach (10 gr/litre of water) and rub with the cleaning brush provided;
- Wash with fresh water and dry all washed parts;
- Prepare some other solution of warm water and bleach (10 gr/litre of water) and dip a cloth in it. This will be used to
clean the steel tank and the parts connected to it (pic.18);
- Use a damp cloth to clean all the external parts;
We recommend lubricating the points indicated in pic. 19 page 65 (auger mechanism and front side of the
horizontal auger) with food-grade Vaseline, to avoid any eventual noise (whistle) due to friction between the
two plastic elements.
