CARE, MAINTENANCE, and CLEANING INSTRUCTION
for PLUNGERS and HOPPERS
The plungers and hoppers of your Type K are precision instruments built from alloy steels and aluminum. They
should be handled with care to insure continued satisfactory performance.
When cleaning aluminum, selection of the right type cleaner is your most important consideration. Any household
dish washing detergent which is safe for aluminum does a good job of cleaning and does not attack aluminum.
Strong Alkali cleaners, such as lye, soda ash, and tri-sodium phosphate, will discolor or even corrode aluminum
even in weak solutions.
DO NOT Handle roughly or drop on hard surfaces.
DO NOT Mix with other utensils in the sink when washing.
DO NOT Allow to rust. Always wash parts thoroughly. Dry completely and then lubricate with mineral oil or
liquid shortening before storing or reinstalling in unit.
DO NOT Force the machine if it becomes jammed. Disassemble and remove any obstruction to prevent
damage to the plunger.
Washing Plungers and Hoppers by Hand:
1. Remove plunger from hopper.
2. Use plenty of warm water.
3. Add cleaner approved for aluminum in concentrations recommended by manufacturer.
4. Presoak to loosen stubborn or dried-on deposits.
5. Use a non-scratching plastic scour cloth to remove soil and restore luster.
6. Rinse in clear hot water (170-190 deg.)
7. Wipe completely dry.
8. Dip plungers in mineral oil or liquid shortening to prevent rust and sticking.
NOTE: “O” Rings are not used on plungers for Type K Depositors
